Snub Sheila? Snub Baltimore
It appears that not everyone agrees with the snubbing -- dare we call it shunning? -- of Mayor Dixon by the Obama administration. This email just arrived from Sun reader Marcia Kargon:
Snubbing the Mayor is a snub at the citizens of Baltimore.
Snubbing the Mayor denies the citizens of Baltimore a voice at the table.
Snubbing the Mayor is a snub at the legal process: A citizen is innocent until proven guilty.
Snubbing the Mayor is petty. It scores no political points. It makes the citizens of Baltimore angry.
We should not turn President Obama into an icon. He is not immune from controversy. There was no justification for this outrageous act.
Mayor Dixon did not award tax breaks. It was part of a well thought out process that had O'Malley's blessing. Mayor Dixon is a single women who had a fling (God bless her).
Mayor Dixon is the voice of the citizens of Baltimore. Until she is removed from office, official political protocol must respected.
Comments
Marcia is right. Regardless of how you feel about the Mayor, there is a process and until the process is complete you do not know if she is guilty or not.
