Legislative Session Overview

My administration has used the challenges our city faces to guide us toward innovation. Thanks to the General Assembly’s pledged $290 million aid package, we will be able to extend critical resources to key growth areas ranging from blight elimination to libraries to so much more. 

Creating a Greener, Healthier City

We have worked diligently to pass legislation that would provide more funding for recreation and parks. A Bill we worked on was ultimately amended onto another, HB 462, and on Monday we celebrated a major victory when that piece of legislation was signed into law by Governor Larry Hogan. The City will ultimately receive $6 million annually for Recreation and Parks. These funds can be used to realize my vision to build high quality recreation facilities, create better programming and better upkeep our parks.

Inspired to Inspire: Champions & Visionaries

Every year I celebrate Women’s History Month in March. One of my personal programs is titled Inspired to Inspire. This year’s theme is Champions & Visionaries. We reached out to the city and encouraged men and women, young and old, to write an essay about the woman or women who inspire them most.

I was delighted to receive numerous essays written from the heart about women from all over the city, with varying backgrounds and cultural histories. Each one was an inspiration in its own right.

Women Leading Baltimore 2016

In celebration of Women's History Month this March I will be connecting young female leaders with professional women in Baltimore for a day of mentoring. This is a program by, for, and about women. I hope the day will motivate the selected female high school juniors and seniors and inspire them to reach their goals.

Innovation Districts

Baltimore is recognized as one of the global cities where innovation districts are emerging. The districts are identified as being different than the likes of Silicon Valley, which is in a suburban sector, somewhat isolated and without the benefits a city provides such as greater access to mixed-use housing, diverse retail, and other work environs. 

Forbes ranks Baltimore 8th on its list of America’s Most Wired Cities for internet broadband adoption and the availability of public wireless hot spots. The magazine ranks Baltimore 6th on its list of best cities for tech jobs.

In honor of Women’s History Month, Inspired to Inspire will applaud and recognize inspirational women in Baltimore City – past, present and future – with the programming under the banner of Champions & Visionaries.

The city-wide program is seeking written essays about the woman, or women, who have inspired individuals. We have asked that the essays be between 250 and 750 words with a deadline submission date of Monday, February 22, 2016. The announcement date for the winners is currently scheduled for the first week of March.
