Baltimore City

The YMCA of Central Maryland has received a “Learn to Swim” grant through a partnership with the Government Employees Health Association and the Baltimore Ravens.

City and community agencies are canvassing the area to assess community needs following a mass shooting that killed one and injured seven.

A 36-year-old man died and the other conditions range from stable to critical condition.

One Baltimore City high school combined back-to-school sign-ups with voter registration ahead of the first day of class and many students’ first election.

The city has announced that they have hired an independent firm to audit policies at the Department of Public Works, particularly heat safety practices.

Cardinal Health will pay funds immediately to the city.

If the law passes, the company could owe up to $854 million.

The city is distributing sandbags, opening parking garages and creating an emergency homeless shelter.

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

The pause and training are a direct result of Ronald Silver II’s death, a solid waste worker who died on Friday while reportedly showing signs of heat stress.
