Baltimore City Council

Baltimore City Council is set to hold hearings to examine work conditions at the Department of Public Works following the death of employee Ronald Silver ll on August 2, 2024.

“This is not an anti-landlord bill. It’s an anti-slumlord bill.”

Unions call for hearings into workplace conditions, additional health and safety training, as well as a full-time OIG investigator dedicated to DPW.

City leaders say the Baltimore Baby Bonus violates state and local law. But teachers leading the charge say the challenge is “an undemocratic power grab.”

Committee on Public Safety cancels hearing last minute.

While the state’s minimum wage is $15.00, some workers in the service industry earn a base pay of $3.63. In Baltimore City, one councilman is looking to change that.

The Baltimore City Council on Monday passed Mayor Brandon Scott’s 2025 budget without amendments.

Lawmakers are aiming to deter investors from sitting on derelict properties in Baltimore City by implementing a special tax rate.

Newcomers may be taking over the council in key districts.

Officials are counting around 1,000 ballots on Monday but more than 9,000 may need to be counted by the end of the week.
