Baltimore mayor refuses to step down over children's book scandal despite pressure from city council



Pugh’s troubles began last month when the Baltimore Sun reported that, while serving on the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) board of directors, Pugh arranged deals beginning in 2001 to sell 100,000 copies of her “Healthy Holly” series to the medical system at a total cost of $500,000. While the books teach children the importance of diet and exercise, there were no competitive bids for the deal, and Pugh resigned from the board last month.

Just before Pugh announced her leave of absence, the Sun reported that the health insurance giant Kaiser Permanente paid Pugh $114,000 for copies of her books from 2015 to 2018. In September 2017, the city’s spending board, which Pugh controls, awarded Kaiser a $48 million contract for insurance for city employees. Pugh has not commented about the deal with Kaiser.

I don't see what she did wrong just trying to make a buck

I don't see what she did wrong just trying to make a buck

Abused her power to make sure her book had no competition?

[Tapeworm]

I don't see what she did wrong just trying to make a buck

She doesn't look healthy.
She doesn't look like a 'Catherine.'  She looks like a 'Wheezy.'
The cartoon kids look ethnic. 
There are no ethnics named Holly.

Ergo, Wheezy is a cultural appropriator.

[BB]

Definitely looks like there was bid rigging and collusion on her part, especially when you read the Kaiser Permanente part of the story.

Its done in big business everyday trump does it they all do it

[BB]

The cartoon kids look ethnic.  

She could be Black, Biracial, Latin, Arab, or perhaps even one of those sneaky octoroons. She was really covering all the bases.

The child is under the influence of something in that panel.  Dad doesn't approve.  He's going to whang her on the head with his racket.  Like they did to him back in Cuba.

[myt1]

This seems like the common thing to do on the left now.  Just like Northam did, she'll avoid as the media spins it somehow and eventually lets it pass over.  Zero accountability for these people in high places.

Healthy Holly might also be trying to subliminally turn our children gay -

[Thin Lizzy]

If she had any shame, she would’ve resigned a long time ago. By all rights the city should be nuked.

Baltimore homicide rate is on a record high, deadlier than Detroit and Chicago

This isn't big business.  It's public office.

Liberals can’t seem to make this distinction. Like AOC bragging about how much she’s paying her staff as if the money is coming out of her pocket.

This.

It's clear that Catherine Pugh wants every society to be like Detroit judging by those books.

Everyone in those books with colors of peace/peas/piss.

[Kwon]

one on the left looks white with long reddish hair

She seems to be caramel-colored with a huge nose, probably mulatto/middle-eastern.

Red haired women are usually very pale. (i've been with many redheads and none were tan/caramel like that).

Beside the skincolor, also pay attention to their facial features, eyes, nose, lips etc.

Dat dere colores of Peace.

I see on Instagram Bethany Carter Howlett has a daughter now.  I wonder if she has a super genius IQ like her mom?  Who impregnated that whack job?  Will she ever tell her daughter about how she worked as an escort?  So many questions......
