The total proposed budget is $2.2 billion, meaning that the $3 million the p2p programs need is just over an extra one-tenth of one percent.

The publicly funded Hilton Hotel (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Convention_Center_Hotel_Project) being built next to the convention center is going to get another $4.2 million this year. That's on top of $23 million going to the "Convention complex"

The police get $351 million dollars, which is nearly twice what the public school system gets ($208 million)

There's only $3 million allocated to implement the 10-year plan to "end homelessness".
