US poverty on track to rise to highest since 1960s. Now Playing US poverty level set to hit highest mark since 1965 The ranks of America's poor are on track to climb to levels unseen in nearly half a century, erasing gains from the war on poverty in the 1960s amid a weak economy and fraying government safety net. Census figures for 2011 will be released this fall in the critical weeks ahead of the November elections. The Associated Press surveyed more than a dozen economists, think tanks and academics, both nonpartisan and those with known liberal or conservative leanings, and found a broad consensus: The official poverty rate will rise from 15.1 percent in 2010, climbing as high as 15.7 percent.

Socialism. Green Party. Baltimore. Baltimore City Stuff. Occupy our Homes Baltimore. June 12, 2012|By Jessica Lewis, Alex Bennett and Saba Nazeer Those who rely on mainstream media to tell them what's happening can be forgiven for coming to the same opinion as ex-Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., who wrote in his recent column "Capitalism on trial" (June 3) that the Occupy movement has disintegrated. While aggressive law enforcement has prevented Occupy in many cities from re-establishing a prolonged and public presence, activists have put their energy to use by linking with community and neighborhood activists to fight the most visible footprint of the speculative 1 percent: foreclosed-upon homes. Occupy Our Homes Baltimore, one of a number of local activist groups that has emerged from the Occupy Baltimore demonstration last October, is currently visiting the homes of families targeted for foreclosure in the Park Heights neighborhood of Baltimore. Similar Occupy Our Homes' groups have formed around the country.
This is a mystery to us. Baltimore Ravens | Home. Baltimore, Where’s the Recovery Money? | Citypaper Blogs. Pin It! The federal stimulus program has lavished nearly $1 billion on Baltimore City, and until a year ago, anyone could easily see where the money was being spent. But since February the city has been mum about where the money is going, according to a state watchdog group. “It’s a mystery to me,” says Neil Bergsman, director of the Maryland Budget and Tax Policy Institute. “I think not only is it a legal requirement for them to post that information on the internet, I believe it would seem to be good public relations and good politics, because I believe the city is accomplishing some pretty good stuff with that money.”
While in office, then Baltimore City Mayor Sheila Dixon pledged to report the city’s spending of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act money (ARRA), and she was true to her word. The city established a task force, called the Baltimore Economic Recovery Team (BERT). Since then: nothing. A call and an e-mail to the mayor’s office were not immediately returned.
