Fox News
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is calling the Baltimore mayor's plan to establish a task force to help cut the police department budget "reckless."
"The governor has committed record funding to fighting violent crime in Baltimore City and will continue to do so despite the mayor's reckless agenda," Hogan spokesperson Michael Ricci told Fox News in a statement Saturday. "As my administration works tirelessly to reimagine policing in Baltimore, we must ensure that city resources are being used effectively and efficiently," Scott said in a statement to Fox 45. "The Task Force will be charged with identifying reductions that can be made responsibly over time while creating a blueprint that diverts appropriate service requests so officers can focus efforts on reducing violent crime."More Related News
