The city’s 52nd mayor spoke about how his administration has made progress on several issues in the city, such as violence. “As I stand before you today, we have a 20% reduction in homicides in the city of Baltimore, a 9% reduction in non-fatal shootings, and Baltimore, we are on track for the first time in nine years to be under 300 murders,” Scott said Saturday at the Cahill Recreation Center.
