I’m good with avoiding statues of individuals. A statue honoring soldiers of a given conflict, or the proffession of Nursing, sure.
Lionizing a particular person begs to become irrelevant at best, or worse, as in this case: dude loved slavery.

I oppose term limits because we already have them: they're called elections. If people want a lawmaker out, they have the vote.
Applying an artificial cap on elected offices serves only to limit the power of the people to install the leaders they chose, and to thereby weaken the government's ability to serve them. Experience, knowledge, etc. would be gained and tossed with each cycle, depriving the government of a great deal of effectiveness,e tc.
Corporate lobbyist would benefit greatly from a constant churn in the legislature, as their clients are not forced to churn new ones through every couple terms..they can work for decades straight, accumulating influence and power their entire run. It's no wonder then that corporations are often behind efforts like this one to impose term limits. The extreme right Sinclair group would love nothing more than to see our government weakened.
Vote against K

Blundering about, lol. They are replacing hazardous and failing gas lines in an old ass major city. I doubt you could do most any of the many different jobs that have to all be coordinated to get this done. Just stay at your computer, pay your bills, and be a bit less assholey about the things you don’t know.
Yes, the streets will be resurfaced wherever cuts were made.
Yes, fresh sidewalks will be poured.

Reply to The city of eccentrics? by butterflybros
Searching for ways to say this, I've settled on an imperfect analogy: looks. But I mean this to be extrapolated beyond appearance and presentation...I agree with Waters, I think Baltimore is real, and appreciates real above all else. Not much tolerance for pretension here.
In LA you need boobs, and after that, money. In Baltimore, all you need is style. Luckily, style--which is an external presentation of internal substance, a visible signal that the person under it all is original and valuable--works whether you've got the tits or not.
For whatever reason, Baltimore is one of those cities that appreciates style far more than conventional appearance. We don't go for the put on here; for us, the part is you, and if you have the courage and mettle to just be yourself, you'll be well received. It really is a friendly, charming city in that way.
I can't speak on the Black community in Baltimore, but I get the feeling that this is true for both Baltimores.
