At the @RecNParks budget hearing, Director Moore admitted his agency stopped requiring stump removal when trees are taken down despite prior commitments that every tree removal contract would include stump removal.
The predictable result? Baltimore now has an even larger backlog of dangerous and unsightly tree stumps than when this issue was first raised years ago.
Even more concerning, the agency’s proposed “solution” is to maybe include stump removal in a future FY2028 contract. By then, there’s no telling how much worse this backlog will become.
This is a basic management failure and a clear lack of leadership.
The fix is simple: amend the CURRENT contract to require stump removals now, and find the money within the existing budget to clean up the bloated backlog created on Director Moore’s watch.
Baltimore residents should not have to wait years for the City to address a problem Rec and Parks itself created.
Right now, the #Baltimore City Council is considering the city's budget for Fiscal Year 2027 - and critical funding for a #compost facility is missing from the Mayor's proposal.
Take action today: email Mayor Scott and the City Council to fund #ZeroWaste! https://t.co/gC76DB2FdJ

On the 105th anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre, we remember victims who never got justice. The pattern repeats: Black votes gutted, agents killing without accountability, 32 dead in ICE custody in 2025, deadliest in 2 decades.
Accountability isn't partisan. The fight continues.
Westportians please make your voice heard as this portion of the Patapsco Regional Greenway abutts our neighborhood. We have reached out to @BaltoMetroCo about how to get more neighbors involved and have not received a response. @Westport21230@MayorBMScott
At the close of this comment period, the input you have given will help develop the foundation of the alignments design before giving it to Baltimore City to finalize. Learn more about the Cherry Hill segment of the #PatapscoRegionalGreenway at https://t.co/Apu7nDGZr5.
Getting out the word: As the country's affordable housing crisis worsens, Baltimore Renters United speaks to tenants about their legal rights and options in rent court. About 25% of tenants evicted in the city become homeless, the group says. https://t.co/ZbaSvAjdYM
@Westport21230 We are so glad that CLIF funds for South Baltimore will be available through an RFP to community based organizations in June because we have a plan to address this, we need the funding!!! @BUILDBaltimore
So this guy has pitched a tent in the rear of a fully boarded, grass cut rear yard of vacant property owned by HC Baltimore LLC. This is him exiting the tent with lit cigarette, devil may care, ready2party with friends this weekend. Next to our occupied property. @Westport21230
@Westport21230 We have reported it through 311, emailed the owner, @bmoredhcd and @BaltimorePolice It is unfair that our tenant who pays rent, lives quietly with her children and grandchild has to live next to this crap.
New research: Baltimore's Safe Streets program is associated with a 42% drop in youth homicides and 21% fewer nonfatal youth shootings.
It's the first study to examine community violence intervention programs specifically for youth violence impacts. 🔗https://t.co/l6SSA9HVgL
Chicken over rice now costs the same in Baltimore as in Manhattan, $12. Baltimore wages are not the same as Manhattan wages. AI will tell you it is cheaper to operate a food truck in Baltimore than Manhattan. Something isn’t adding up.

We were there (virtually) and disappointed that Clean Corps stated they come to Westport everyday. This is in direct contradiction to our lived experience.
Today’s Mayor’s Neighborhood Sub-cabinet Meeting brought City agencies and community partners together to review progress across South & Southwest Baltimore — including housing redevelopment, resiliency projects, public safety coordination, and infrastructure improvements.
