The number of deaths in Baltimore City was at an all-time high last year. Before they have the chance to grow this year, law makers are in the middle of doing something about it.
A bill that encompasses several crime fighting initiatives have been combined into one to help with solving the crime problem. Parts of the bill increases the sentencing for repeat offenders, a second offense for someone who commits a crime with a gun increases their time from 20 to 40 years. In addition, over $14 million dollars have been set aside for Baltimore’s “Safe Streets” program.
The bill has been passed in the Senate and now goes on to the House.
