  1. For the charter amendments

    When Baltimore voters go to polls  Tuesday, they will decide on two charter amendments designed to address a pressing problem in the city and a lingering one. The first is an effort to tackle the estimated $2.8 billion in unmet needs for school construction and renovation, and the other is an attempt to increase political engagement in a city where few bothered to vote in the primary election and, sadly, even fewer are likely to cast ballots in Tuesday's general election. Neither of them is likely to accomplish much, but they aren't likely to do any harm either.

  15. Baltimore school fund: Right problem, wrong solution

    Baltimore City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young is absolutely right that the city's school buildings are badly outdated and that the city is not doing nearly enough to reduce the backlog of maintenance problems, estimated at some $2.8 billion. As children are sent home because their non-air-conditioned schools are too hot to provide a conducive learning environment, he has picked a good time to remind the city that the poor state of school facilities has a real effect on academic achievement. However, the means through which he has chosen to address the issue — a charter amendment he and Councilman James Kraft have introduced to create a special fund for school facilities improvements — is both problematic in terms of city policy and unlikely to make a serious dent in the problem.
