Discussion: Baltimore Mayor Calls Questions About Shady-Looking Book Deal A ‘Witch Hunt’

Pugh made $500,000 from the University of Maryland Medical System on her
“Healthy Holly” children’s books since 2011 — while she sat on the
medical system’s board.

500K from a kids medical book. Who knew that kind of money was out there.
I get a whiff of bulk sales???

Um…does she realize that to the sane world, when you use the terms “witch hunt” or “fake news”, we think you’re probably guilty? And I doubt her supporters are composed of Trump’s base.

She seems nice.

Pugh is not the only one with questionable entanglements: other members of the board with conflicting business interests have recently resigned their posts. She also resigned from the board Monday and reportedly returned the most recent $100,000.

This just screams innocence to me. Who among us haven’t resigned and returned money as a way of protesting our innocence in similar circumstances?

She’s obviously a whiz with paperwork and properly filing her tax forms but I have a question: Are sweetheart deals even illegal? If I sit on a board and offer to sell the foundation my shoes for 100K and they say cool, do we have a motion and approve it are we all good? There must be some charge associated with that but I don’t know what it is.

I had worker at a car wash hand me a bag with about $10,000 in it. Said he found it under the seat of the borrowed car I was driving. Called the guy that owned the car. He said he had no idea WTF I was talking about.

I’m calling in sick tomorrow so I can start my children’s book series! Which sounds more marketable, “Wellness Wendy” or “Morally Compromised Molly”?

buh bye.

It’s a shame that basically nobody knows what a “witch hunt” is any longer.

This is graft; political corruption stemming from the use of a politician’s authority for personal gain. The University of Maryland Medical System was assured of the mayor/board member’s wholehearted support by paying her off, albeit through the purchase of her otherwise unmarketable books.

I’m not an attorney but it may be difficult to prove a criminal act, despite the stench of this “arrangement”. I hope I’m wrong and she’s brought to account over this scheme.
