Baltimore mayor Dixon poised for easy Democratic win
Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon appears poised for a comfortable victory in the Democratic mayoral primary, securing a path to a four year term as the city grapples with stark class divisions. Polls show a large lead over Keiffer Mitchell Jr. and endorsements from Gov. Martin O’Malley, while crime, poverty and drug issues, notably heroin addiction, loom large alongside a $300 million Hilton hotel project. Dixon stresses targeted enforcement, gun tracing, and stronger police-community ties, while Mitchell campaigns on a tougher crime approach backed by police and firefighter unions.
