COMMENTS:
Thumbs up:
• Chimere T (Baltimore): She is an excellent leader who cleans up the city.
• Barry C, Baltimore: What strikes me most is her efforts to get the city more livable and people out and about and having contact with one another. As people get out of their houses and into the streets, crime has to go elsewhere, people experience our city life, our parks and most of all our neighbors. Funny how we really did not know the people that lived around us before.
• Einicka, Baltimore: Improving Baltimore's image and brining business back to Baltimore.
• Susie L, Baltimore: For the short time she has been in office, cleaning-up Baltimore City streets with the Cleaner Greener Initiative and the joining with other agencies to help reduce crime. These problems exisited long before she became Mayor. Therefore, it will take along time if ever to bring it under control. That means, working with community, courts and others to help.
Denise N, Baltimore: rebuilding of old,boarded homes and selling for homeownership. also, repaving of our city streets-hooray!! her choice of police commissioner. i personally believe that with her leadership and his command under her leadership, that they can help make baltimore a safe & exciting place to visit and live. i woild also like thank her for keeping our streets clean. this has always been a real ugly problem. please keep the ramps that come in & out of the city,off of the highways clean, also. thank you mayor dixon for keeping your promises to the people. now, is there a way for you to help the governor fix the state & city deficit.

Thumbs down:
• DJN, Baltimore: Appropriating gift cards, which were meant for the poor.
