How much is THIS going to cost Baltimoreans?

Well, Baltimore taxpayers can breathe a sigh of relief. Just what we needed: another city department, another executive position, and another salary to add to the ever-growing list of people collecting a paycheck from City Hall.

Mayor Brandon Scott is now looking for a "leader" to run the new Department of Neighborhood Safety. Because apparently, what Baltimore needs to address its problems is not fewer layers of bureaucracy, but another person at the top of one.

Of course, that leadership position won't come free. There will be a salary, benefits, administrative support, office expenses, and all the other costs that come with creating another government agency.

And who's picking up the tab? Baltimore City taxpayers.

I'd love to see the job posting, especially the salary range. Before City Hall starts celebrating another new department, perhaps someone could explain exactly how much this experiment is going to cost taxpayers and what measurable results they can expect in return.

Baltimore doesn't need another expensive title on an organizational chart. It needs results, accountability, and a little more respect for the people who actually pay the bills.

Another department. Another boss. Another taxpayer-funded paycheck. Same old Baltimore.
P.S. Isn't this what "MONSE" was supposedly doing?
