Have you checked out Bizarro SRB on Twitter? She’s so great! She’s using the $107 million TIF subsidy to rehab vacant properties instead of giving it to Inner Harbor developers, she’s opening meetings to the public because she believes in transparency, and she’s organizing a city-wide composting initiative. She listens to citizens, not rich developers. Oh yeah, and she’s totally fake. (What was your first clue?) I’m not sure who runs the account, but whoever s/he is, s/he is doing a great job of satirizing the current state of city affairs in only 140 characters. Some of the highlights below: 

Ever since I kept my campaign promise to disband the Baltimore Development Corporation, more than 3K vacant buildings have been redeveloped!
