Council Finance Chair Ron Salem wants to know who stands to profit from the exchange, which he believes is based on questionable appraisals.
The article from Yahoo News discusses a situation in Baltimore where the City Council Finance Committee Chair, Bill Henry, is requesting a detailed list of properties owned by the city that are currently vacant or abandoned. This request comes in the wake of a mass shooting at a block party in the Brooklyn Homes neighborhood, which has highlighted issues related to vacant properties and their impact on community safety. Henry emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in managing these properties, suggesting that the city should consider selling or repurposing them to prevent them from becoming sites for criminal activity. The article also mentions that the city has been criticized for its handling of vacant properties, with some residents and officials calling for more aggressive action to address the problem.
