City Council President Statement Re: Dixon Criminal Case

By now you've probably heard the breaking news that several of the criminal charges against Mayor Sheila Dixon have been dropped. One of her co-defendant's City Councilwoman Helen Holton saw all of her charges dropped. Below is the full text released just moments ago (1505 hrs) from the Office Of The City Council President

STATEMENT FROM COUNCIL PRESIDENT STEPHANIE RAWLINGS-BLAKE REGARDING COUNCILWOMAN HOLTON AND MAYOR DIXON

Today, I was very pleased to learn that all the charges against my council colleague Helen Holton were dismissed. As the legal matter has now been appropriately resolved, Councilwoman Holton will return to service as Chair of the Taxation, Finance and Economic Development Committee. My prayers are with Mayor Dixon as this difficult case continues. The remaining charges must be answered as part of the legal process in the court of law. Now it is time to let the lawyers do their jobs, and the City Council will remain focused on doing its job—making government work for the people of Baltimore.

MESSAGE TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT/INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES

To all those who willfully, deliberately and routinely violate the civil rights of law abiding American Citizens; Yes, you're powerful. Sure, you're everywhere. But this is still America, and the Constitution of the United States Of America still reigns supreme as the law of the land. The Baltimore Spectator will vigorously and aggressively defend against any and all attempts at spying and suppression. Let it be known to all that we are already aware of the regular monitoring and shadowing attempts. There is nothing to hide, but cross the line and there will be hell to pay.

In the end, efforts to impinge upon the freedoms of the people will ultimately fail. Some of us may get taken out in the ongoing battle for true and lasting freedom, but as I've said many times before, and will say till the day I die or get taken out by you goons, THERE ARE MORE OF US, THAN THERE ARE OF YOU.
