A legitimate Gregg Bernstein complaint

Posted by ameister on Friday, May 27th, 2011

I have read some insane conspiracy theories about Baltimore State’s Attorney Gregg Bernstein.  I will not dignify them by even mentioning them here.  There clearly are some people who dislike the guy and what he said he stood for.

Gregg Bernstein is not perfect though. He told us he would run things differently than Patricia Jessamy. These days in Pigtown there are many people who do not see a big difference between Jessamy and Bernstein.

Page Croyder sums up the controversy here.   It is a great article so please read it.

Prosecutors cannot quit on carjacking cases!  The voters expected more than this. Bernstein needs to deliver and differentiate himself from his predecessor.

Dixon and Jessamy supporter Curtis Anderson may run for City Council President

Posted by ameister on Friday, February 11th, 2011

On Wednesday the Baltimore Sun site informed the world that a local House of Delegates member wants to bring Baltimore more of the same kind of politics and ideas that have infested this city for years. Jessamy and Dixon supporter Curtis Anderson may run for City Council President.

From the Jessamy endorsement page:

“Pat Jessamy has been a tenacious and skillful crime fighter for the citizens of Baltimore City. She has come to the legislature time and again gaining new initiatives to fight crime and to make Baltimore a better place. Crime has decreased in the City because of her efforts.”

–Delegate Curt Anderson, 43rd District and Chair of the Baltimore City Delegation

Curtis Anderson sticks up for Dixon.

Other than defending the indefensible, what has this guy done for Baltimore? Baltimore does not need another do-nothing political insider.

On a personal note I was not impressed when Delegate Anderson no-showed at the Amplify Baltimore event on January 8th.

The long awaited Page Croyder interview

Posted by ameister on Monday, November 8th, 2010

This interview was supposed to come out before the election. Technical difficulties delayed its release. It is an enlightening interview that sheds light on many practices of the Jessamy regime. It is split into two parts:

The Vanguard Justice Society financially supported Jessamy

Posted by ameister on Monday, October 11th, 2010

Many voters liked that Patricia Jessamy did not seem to have the best relationship with the police. Some people feel that Jessamy was a sort of counterbalance to the police and now that Bernstein is in charge that a mass conspiracy will be fullfilled and black people will be rounded up by the police and State’s Attorney’s office. That conspiracy theory is a demented and paranoid one, but it was born out of many people’s hate of the police force. I have no idea what Jessamy’s personal feelings are toward the police, but she deffenitly did not mind that people thought she was on a different team than they were.

At the bottom of a Baltimore Sun article from September 1, 2010, there is a very interesting police related quote:

“The Vanguard Justice Society, which represents minority police officers in the city, sponsored a debate between the two candidates. But its president, Lt. Ken Butler, said Wednesday that the group probably would not endorse a candidate.”

The quote itself it pretty boring. Why would a black police group support a woman who is not police friendly? On the other hand would it make sense for a black police group to support a white candidate for State’s Attorney? Neutrality seemed to be the easiest position to take on this race and we all know that in Baltimore our so-called leaders usually choose the easiest option on issues like this.

The Vanguard Justice Society is a non-profit organization (not sure if it is 501 C (3) organization).  It appears this non-profit organization that wanted the world to think it was neutral made the following campaign contributions:

Candidates Account Contributor Name(Address) Amount Date Received Contribution Type
Jessamy, Pat Friends Of Vangaurd Justice Society, Inc.
(4800 Reisterstown Road ,
Baltimore, MD, 21215-5518)		 $650.00 08/20/2010 Business Entity
Jessamy, Pat Friends Of Vangaurd Justice Society, Inc.
(4800 Reisterstown Road ,
Baltimore, MD, 21215-5518)		 $580.00 08/05/2006 Ticket purchases by Business Entity

The 2010 campaign contribution was made BEFORE Vanguard Justice Society president Ken Butler said that his group probably would not endorse a candidate.

It looks like Jessamy was friendly with certain police (they financially supported her in 2006 also!). There goes another Bernstein conspiracy theory and the credibility of the Vangaurd Justice Society.

Patricia Jessamy and the murder of Carl Lackl

Posted by ameister on Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

This morning I was sent the following two videos. The second one is very powerful:

“Carl Lackl’s murder was one of the most notorious blunders of Baltimore City States Attorney’s Office in history. See the story that shocked the nation through the eyes of the family, and decide for yourself if Patricia Jessamy should be re-elected today, in the Primary Election. This 2 part interview promises to deliver one dramatic blow after another. Required viewing for all Baltimore residents, and beyond.

Who made race a factor in this year’s State’s Attorney’s race?

Posted by ameister on Monday, September 13th, 2010

Who made race a factor in this year’s State’s Attorney’s race?

This guy says Bernstein did it!

I agree with Page Croyder’s assessment of the situation.

It was Jessamy who said that “If he is elected he will be taking us back sixty years”

Here is a pro-Jessamy article that talks about her supporters Elijah Cummings and Kweisi Mfume and “how race should not be a factor in the safety of the city“. Read the entire article for a completely different take on this election.

Keep checking back here for my official endorsements and many other last minute election articles.

Jessamy loans her campaign money to pay for TV ads

Posted by ameister on Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Martin O’Malley gave Patricia Jessamy a tremendous raise in 2006. Some thought O’Malley was trying to attract a better candidate to the position. Jessamy’s bloated tax payer funded $225k a year salary is allowing her to loan her campaign money to pay for some upcoming TV ads.  WBAL TV is reporting that Jessamy is loaning her campaign money to pay for about $176,000 worth of TV air time. The Bernstein campaign commented on this development:

“It was just reported on WBAL-TV that Jessamy is personally loaning her campaign the funds needed to cover a $176,000 worth of ads on network TV. She has the highest salary of any elected official in the state, which presumably has enabled her to make this personal expenditure. It appears that after fifteen years on the job, she has not garnered enough support from the community to run an effective campaign and now must make this attempt to buy the election.”

I have heard that employees of the State’s Attorney’s office appear in the Jessamy TV ad. Some say that they were filmed during lunch breaks, others have told me that the filming took much longer than a even a bureaucrat’s lunch break. The ad is at the end of this post.

When I was researching this article I found an article of mine from 2008 which talks about Jessamy’s salary and to keep in mind the future 2010 election. I also talk about Steve Fogleman and ask which politicians supported him in 2006. In a future article I will talk about how in 2006 George Della’s campaign handed out sample ballots with Jessamy’s name on them.

Bernstein endorsed by police, Jessamy on the Steiner show, and a new Page Croyder bomb

Posted by ameister on Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Gregg Bernstein was endorsed by the Baltimore police union today. This news is not surprising, but it had to be mentioned. I would love to see more public officials make endorsements in this race instead of fearing how many future votes their true feelings may cost them. In other Bernstein news, I received his third mailing yesterday.

Patricia Jessamy was on Monday’s Marc Steiner. You can listen to what she had to say here and read a Baltimore Sun summary of her appearance here.

I find it hilarious that Jessamy says she is very visible. Is that why she rarely talks to the press and has Margaret Burns do all the talking for the State’s Attorney’s office? I am also tried of her Baltimore makes up “31% of all criminal charges in the state and 60% of all commitments in the state”. All that proves is that the crimes in Baltimore are much more worthy of jail time. Baltimore’s criminals are more violent and dangerous than the rest of the state. It says nothing about how many of these people keep going in and out of jail and how short their sentences are in Baltimore compared to the rest of the state. Do we have the most repeat offenders? Do we have the most brazen criminals who know they can get away with a crime if there is only one witness? How often do criminals in Baltimore accept lenient plea bargain deals?

Jessamy says she is not responsible for crime. I think Jessamy is responsible for crime because criminals know they can get away with crimes without having to serve time (or a lot of a time) and know that they can repeat their behaviors over and over again without the serious punishment that they would receive in other jurisdictions. Jessamy has helped create the lawless and criminal friendly environment that we live in.

Page Croyder is at it again. This time she exposes Patricia Jessamy and Nathaniel McFadden.

George Della enthusiastically endorses Jessamy

Posted by ameister on Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

George Della “enthusiastically” endorsed Patricia Jessamy in the print version of the Afro. You can see what he and other State Senators wrote here.

“We applaud Mrs. Jessamy for her responsive and creative leadership!”

Della was the State Senator in the 46th district in 2007 when one of his constituents named Zach Sowers was randomly curb stomped to death. He was the State Senator in the 46th district in 2008 when Jessamy’s spokeswoman Margaret Burns went unpunished for minimizing the murder of Sowers.  First District City Councilman Jim Kraft called for Burns to be fired. Burns still works for Jessamy and is paid with taxpayer dollars. Three of the “men” who were involved in the murder will be out of jail in 2016 before they turn 30. The “man” who did the stomping could be out of jail by 2032 when he will still be in his early 40′s. Sowers died before he turned 30.

Investigative Voice recently talked about George Della attending a Jessamy/Bernstein debate:

“Della told I.V. he believes the state’s attorney’s race will be decided “based on what happens” regarding violent crime in the city in the weeks leading up to the election.

“Violent crime cuts across all races,” the veteran senator observed. “People are searching for answers; they want no more excuses.”

Della declined to endorse any of the three candidates, but cited the recent homicide of a Johns Hopkins research assistant in Charles Village who was killed by an alleged assailant that Jessamy’s office had failed to keep off the streets.”

Whatever you say George… Jessamy is one big excuse and you just enthusiastically endorsed her.

This endorsement is the ultimate in vote pandering and classic Baltimore political incumbent alliance forming of which so many of us are sick and tired! Della shows that he is a heartless trolling politician who deserves to be sent straight to his COUNTY HOME on September 14th. Vote for city resident Bill Ferguson in the 46th district State Senate election on September 14th.
