| | The U.S. Conference of Mayors represents mayors on both sides of the political aisle. | | | In our cities, and even in places like the rest of Maryland's counties where the welfare rolls have dropped by more than three-quarters, the goal of self-sufficiency in the current law is not being met. | | | In my own state of Maryland, since 1995, Baltimore has gone from representing 43% of the State's welfare caseload to representing 63% - even as the number of cases in our city dropped by more than half. |
