Voters already decided on term limits

Baltimore City Hall serves as the hub for Baltimore’s local government, where city officials conduct meetings, approve policies, and engage with the public.

Question K, which introduced term limits to Baltimore City government, was the very last question on the ballot in Baltimore’s 2022 election, yet it received significantly more voter participation than many questions and races that appeared before it. In other words, voters didn’t accidentally stumble into supporting term limits. They intentionally stayed engaged all the way to the bottom of the ballot and voted for it in overwhelming numbers.

That’s what makes Councilman Ryan Dorsey’s push to repeal term limits so troubling.

By suggesting there was insufficient “public discourse” and implying voters didn’t fully understand what they were approving, he is effectively dismissing the judgment of tens of thousands of Baltimore residents who made a deliberate choice at the ballot box.

Baltimore voters passed Question K, the city’s term limits measure, with more than 98,000 votes and over 71% support. Yet now, less than four years later, some members of the City Council want residents to reverse that decision because they personally disagree with it.

Think about the arrogance behind that.

Mayor Scott, it’s time to open the books and stay out of court

Last week, Baltimore Inspector General Isabel Mercedes Cumming filed a lawsuit against Mayor Brandon Scott’s administration, seeking a court order to restore her office’s access to subpoenaed records related to the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement. The unprecedented action follows MONSE’s production of more than 200 pages of heavily redacted documents in response to the inspector general’s investigation into the agency’s financial transactions. Notably, MONSE oversees Safe Streets, the mayor’s flagship anti‑violence program, which has been heavily questioned for both its effectiveness and ethicality.
