City Council President Nick Mosby

Baltimore’s City Council is looking at a new and untested approach with a special financing package aimed at revitalizing blighted neighborhoods.

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

Former prosecutor Debbie Hines discuss the latest on the imminent sentencing of Marilyn Mosby, who was convicted of perjury and mortgage fraud earlier this year.

His coalition of supporters say Baltimore’s likely next City Council President is not a politician, but a change agent.

“If you choose me, you’re choosing a son of Baltimore who can deliver legislatively,” said Nick Mosby in his quest to secure a second term as city council president.

Shannon Sneed is running for City Council President again, facing off against Councilman Zeke Cohen and incumbent Nick Mosby in a tightly contested Democratic primary.

The sophomore councilman is ready for a promotion. He hopes voters elect him to Council President, the city’s second highest elected position.

“Baltimore has always been a working people’s town and it is going to remain that way."

The policy allows the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) to sell vacant lots and houses — in the most distressed neighborhoods — for as little as $1, to individuals and community land trusts.

The owners of vacant properties in Baltimore City could be responsible for a slew of fees, under three bills being considered by city council.
