Baltimore City Council sounds off on DPW after worker’s heat-related death

The Baltimore City Council excoriated Department of Public Works officials Thursday night, calling out agency leadership over a long list of shortcomings and failures that are under renewed scrutiny following a sanitation worker’s on-the-job death earlier this month. From long-running culture problems to the the poor facilities and working conditions employees face, it was open season on DPW management, and the agency heads knew it.
