Taking guns off the streets and bolstering efforts to make Baltimore a cleaner city were just a few of the initiatives outlined by Mayor Sheila Dixon as she announced her priorities for federal aid at City Hall on Tuesday morning.

Joined by members of the city?s congressional delegation, including Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., and Rep. John Sarbanes, D-3rd District, Dixon offered an ambitious wish list that comprised 17 initiatives encompassing extra summer jobs for teenagers and more money to prevent foreclosures.
