"If more money for public employees was the answer, Baltimore's challenges would have been solved long ago."
"Baltimore has received a lot of federal money over the last five years. The problems in Baltimore is not for lack of money. It's for lack of leadership," David Williams of the Taxpayers Protection Alliance told Fox Baltimore.
