  2. Closing deadly loopholes

    In July, authorities discovered that a radiology technician who had worked in Maryland and several other states had been injecting himself with narcotics-filled syringes, refilling them with saline and leaving them behind for use on patients. More than 1,700 Marylanders were exposed to hepatitis C as a result, and five contracted the disease. Dozens more were affected in other states.

  6. Mayor's budget is the first step to a better Baltimore

    All those who have been scared by the gloomy talk that preceded Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's 10-year plan for Baltimore's finances should find some comfort in her first concrete steps to implement it through her new budget proposal. It contains a number of controversial elements that may be difficult to achieve through legislation or bargaining with the unions. But if all goes according to plan, the biggest change most residents will see will be a reduction in property taxes.

  10. The incredible growing city

    The Census report this week showing that Baltimore's population grew last year for the first time in decades is an encouraging sign that the long-term hemorrhaging of city residents to the suburbs may finally be turning around. Though the absolute numbers estimated in the survey were small — the bureau found a net increase of just 1,100 residents during the 12 months that ended July 1, bringing the total to 621,342 — even that modest rise after 60 years of continuous losses offers hope that the city need not resign itself to a future of perpetual decline.

  12. When schools are more than schools

    To be strong, healthy and safe, Baltimore needs leaders who maintain their priorities in challenging circumstances. Last year, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake increased funding for coordinated Out-of-School-Time (OST) programming, which uses public schools as a hub to create "Community Schools" that offer a comprehensive range of services and opportunities to children, youth, families and communities.
