Bob Rohrbaugh is Having a Busy Week
The Maryland Special Prosecutor has been having a busy week as the grand jury assigned to him winds down its work on Friday.
So far, a Baltimore County Councilman, Baltimore City Councilwoman and private developer Ronald H. Lipscomb with long noted ties to Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon have been indicted.
Will the Mayor be next? I have been saying for some time she has reason to worry.
By the way, in the shameless plug department, my firm's blog dedicated to our white collar criminal practice has much more on all these issues. Please check it out and feel free to give us a call if that next indictment has your name on it.

I plead the fifth, Greg.
And now City Councilwoman Helen Holton. Holton is now the head of the Taxation, Finance and Economic Development Committee, which controls legislation for tax increment financing and payments in lieu of taxes, two legislative tools that provide tax incentives for city developers.
Her indictment is for “bribery, malfeasance in office, perjury and nonfeasance in office.”
Will she STILL sit as head of that committee? Will she STILL be in a position to do what she has been accused of?
How many elected officials in this state must be indicted before they lose their jobs? If you are the comptroller of a company and your deliberate actions cause the loss of funds for that company and you are indicted for abusing your position, do you think the company will keep you in that position much less keep you at all?
Why are these people not REMOVED from their positions? Curry, Exum, Dixon, Holton etc. This is really getting out of hand.
UPDATE, Council President Blake has removed Holton from her leadership position on the Taxation, Finance and Economic Development Committee.
Good move Mrs Blake.
Now if Mikey Miller had some balls to remove Currie from his leadership position things may start to look up.
