An Ongoing Investigative Report by John M Jones III (7/29/19)
Elijah Cummings has been in office for 33 yrs., and has only enacted 19 bills, made over $3.72 million dollars, and will get over $2.78 million over 20 yrs. in retirement even though he already has a net worth of over $1.3 million. In 2016, only about 4 out of 10 voting age adult baltimorean’s voted for him. In 2016 there were at least 247,000 illegal aliens in Maryland. In baltmore homelessness increased by 36% from 2003 to 2011. There was at least 4,088 homeless which includes so many precious children in 2011. Using 2011 numbers Baltimore spent $8,317 per homeless per person in 2017
Cummings represents Maryland's 7th congressional district which encompasses just over half of Baltimore City which is also ranked 129th out of 150 in operating efficiency. In 2013, Baltimore's annual operating budget was $2.2 billion, and averages $220 Million budget deficit EVERY YEAR. Baltimore’s avged 300 murders per year 2007-2019. In 2016 there was 1,800 crimes per sq. mile of Baltimore. In 2017, 398 “hate crimes” were reported to law enforcement in Maryland, a 34.9 percent increase, from 2016. Of the incidents reported in 2017, 183 were verified, 208 were found to be inconclusive, and 7 were determined to be unfounded” so 54% of hate crimes couldn’t be verified! 22.4% or 160,867 including the precious little children live in poverty in Baltimore!
In 2017 most 4th & 8th graders in public schools FAILED the proficiency tests in math & reading and 33% black students were found not to be proficient in math, and 9 out of 10 Black male students are not reading at their grade level. Of Baltimore City’s 39 High Schools, 19 had zero or 1% of students proficient in math. Only 72.2 percent graduated high school or about 7 out of 10 students in 2018.
In Cummings state the average person & household made $39k & $97,982K /yr. respectively. The cost of living for a family of four in 2019 was $40,044 not including rent od 20K per year. The average apartment rental was over $1,624 and over $250K to buy a house. To put the FINAL nail in Cummings coffin he makes 450% more money enriching himself & failing to conduct the peoples’ business in congress 138 days/yr. while the average American in his state must work as much as 260 days/yr. to pay their bills.
The above and below statistics are important facts that justify the need for immediate term limits & the need to be an educated and informed voter. America needs term limits for ALL offices that includes offices as low as a elected dog catcher to congress people and yes even judges. Elected & appointed offices belong to the people, but for too long we have allowed corrupt swamp dwellers & activists judges to retain their offices when they should have been thrown out of office, given a tar & feather bath, and then put in jail. .
Support Term Limits by voting for people who will enact them. Voting for people who say they will give you a free ride is just voting for people who want to maintain the swamp and keep the people from having their voices heard. Voting is a sacred right don’t waste it by voting for someone who panders to the lowest common denominator just to get votes! My America IS better than that and it’s NOT racist to say it!
