Word has it that Mayor Dixon is really upset because she doesn't want publicity. She has told the students (through a representative) that she wants them off her lawn by 9 pm tonight Thursday).

** If you haven't already called City Hall and you get a busy at this number (410-396-3835) you can try 410-396-3100 the main city number and ask for the Mayor's office.


At least the Mayor should meet with these students who are setting a positive example for their peers- insisting on employment in the "knowledge" economy instead of the drug economy. If it were not for some of these programs we would have more young people in gangs, dropping out and going to prison (It costs 3 times more to keep a youth in prison than to keep them in school). Peer to Peer is a coalition of some of the best afterschool programs in the city -- and they want $$ so they can increase their numbers of youth employees.
