Businesses Threaten To Withhold Tax Payments Until Dem-Run City Gets Crime Under Control

More than three dozen businesses in Baltimore’s Fells Point are threatening to withhold tax and permit payments amid “chaos and lawlessness” that they say has been “going on for far too long,” according to local reports.

The coalition of 37 businesses sent a letter Tuesday to officials, including the mayor, council president, police commissioner and state’s attorney, complaining about illegal alcohol and drug sales, public drinking, poor trash pickup and parking enforcement, and other problems, according to several local reports.

They are calling for Baltimore officials to restore “basic and essential municipal services.”

“[W]e are fed up and frustrated, and we now realize that nothing will change unless we demand action,” the letter states, according to local affiliate FOX Baltimore. . .

If the city doesn’t respond, business owners say they’ll withhold tax and permit payments, placing those funds into an escrow account.
