WHO: Mayor Sheila Dixon and the City Council
WHAT: The City Council tried to eject photographers from its Monday luncheon because its members did not want to be photographed eating.
WHY IT’S A BAD IDEA: Who do they think they are? The crowned heads of Europe? We know the Queen of England is never photographed while she’s eating, but that doesn’t mean the Baltimore City Council should follow her lead. Maybe they didn’t want to be photographed because they were munching crab cakes (excuse us, a spokesman contacted our reporter to let us know that the cakes were, in fact, salmon) and chocolate cake while the city falls into a budget deficit as deep as the Grand Canyon? Lavish luncheons would be a perfect place to cut the city budget.
