Jack Young will be the next Baltimore city council President! I explained the logic behind this statement in my other blog.
Below are some of the more recent campaign contributions that councilman Young has received. The guy gets a lot of money from businesses, developers, and other organizations. I have highlighted some high profile and controversial contributors. The last four entries are not as recent, but are very interesting. Come up with your own conclusions:
