But said his administration and police leaders were in attendance to help the Fells Point community.
In the wake of Fells Point businesses asking for action from #Baltimore City leaders RE: crime/trash/violence, @MayorBMScott invited residents to a virtual down hall but did not attend - infuriating many. I asked the Mayor why he couldn't make the virtual meeting last night????????@wjz https://t.co/fHlcefEtA8 pic.twitter.com/YdHattzMwR
