Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott unveiled a three-part legislative agenda for this year’s session in Annapolis and says there will be a governor in office that he believes will help get it done.

Calling it a different ballgame, Mayor Scott said it was like “going from Kyle Boller to Lamar Jackson” in Annapolis.

The mayor said his plan centers on three priorities – building public safety, supporting the environment and infrastructure, and prioritizing quality of life.

Mayor Scott’s biggest requests are for public safety-related funding.

• $20.25 million in State Aid for Police Protection and Enhanced Warrant Service Initiative Grants.
• $50 million in capital and operating funds for the design and construction of new Northwest and Northeast BPD District buildings.
• Restoring funding for programs facilitated by the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement that are designed to discourage recidivism, reduce violence, and perform outreach to victims of crime: Safe Streets Baltimore, Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funds and Project Exile.
• “Our priorities for Annapolis are about building the Baltimore we want to see today, with an eye on our vision for the future, and we are hopeful that we have the political environment to secure legislation and funding that will move us closer to realizing Baltimore’s true potential,” said Mayor Brandon M. Scott.
