Dec. 02 (THAINDIAN) The political career of Baltimore mayor Sheila Dixon is going through a rough phase for sure. According to the political analyst the mayor is facing major challenges in her career though the public opinion regarding her is on the brighter side. She is burdened with a criminal conviction charge that may turn the public favor into animosity, the experts feel. The officials are not unanimous in their opinion on the mayor. Dixon has worked as the mayor in Baltimore for the last two years.
Dixon was accused of inappropriate use of gift cards that she got from a developer but spent herself instead of using in charitable causes. As per the Maryland Constitution the public officials who face a criminal conviction are liable to suspension. However, the mayor can challenge the verdict and attempt to retain her in office. Kurt L. Schmoke, the former Mayor said that Dixon should come out clear on the issue to the citizens.
A number of Baltimore politicians said that the legal procedure should be allowed to take its course. A Baltimore Democrat, Curt Anderson, said that she may run for the post after she steps down in future. However, the people of Baltimore think that she has done commendable work as a Mayor during her tenure and this may make them forgive her mistake. Earlier some of the Maryland politicians were able to resurrect their political careers even after facing conviction on some grounds. The lawyers of Dixon have said that they are thinking of taking possible actions to prove the innocence of their client.

A fitting punishment would be to dress this beatch in drag and add her to Barney Frank’s man-whore prostitution operation. She will get the anal penetration she so richly deserves for her anal rape of taxpayers and theiving from other blacks. She’s just like the criminal ACORN democrat scum.
