Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby slammed criticism from Gov. Larry Hogan Tuesday, calling his ordered review of her office’s funding a political stunt.
At a news conference hours after Hogan announced a “top to bottom evaluation” of the state dollars sent to Mosby’s office, the Democrat said Hogan is “concerned with pointing the finger at everyone else as opposed to actually leading and delivering for a city that is the heartbeat of this state.”
“Had the governor set aside his philosophical differences and chosen to meet or even to talk to me, I would have been happy to show him the data that he’s now making contingent on my office’s funding,” she said.
The review will not affect Mosby’s current budget, although the Republican governor threatened to withhold state dollars from the office in the future.
Their comments come after a particularly horrific spate of violence in Baltimore.
