Baltimore:
Phony Move to Bury a Tragedy

Sep 2, 2024

A Baltimore City sanitation worker collapsed on the job and died recently. He was only 36. His death was due to the heat, and to how the Department of Public Works didn’t have ways to cool off everywhere it was needed for workers. The temperature that day reached 99 degrees.

Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott is proposing to pay a Washington, D.C. law firm to investigate what happened. But guess what? This law firm doing the investigation has specialized in representing employers who oppose strong regulations.

This investigation is a hoax.
