BUILD calls for better youth resources

The Baltimore City mayoral campaign shifted gears as money for recreation centers and after school programs took the place of competing crime plans and calls for more police officers.

Addressing hundreds of members of the community Sunday night at St. Matthew?s Church in Northeast Baltimore at a forum organization Baltimore United for Leadership and Development, or BUILD, four candidates for the city?s top job including Mayor Sheila Dixon, Councilman Keiffer Mitchell, State Del. Jill P. Carter, and Dr. Andre Bundley were allowed five minutes each to agree or disagree with the group?s demands for increased funding of recreation centers, more after school programs and jobs for city youth.
