JKB-11-1799 BALTIMORE POLICE DEP’T et al., * Defendants * * * * * * * * * * * * * MEMORANDUM I. Background Plaintiff Haywood D. Bradley sued various individuals and entities, claiming employment discrimination, violation of federal and state civil rights, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent retention and/or supervision, civil conspiracy, and tortious interference with prospective advantage. (Compl., ECF No. 1.) All of these causes of action were premised upon allegedly wrongful acts committed against Bradley during the course of his employment as a police officer in the Baltimore Police Department (“BPD”). All Defendants filed motions to dismiss. Previously, this Court granted the motion (ECF No. 19) to dismiss filed by the State of Maryland. (ECF No. 33.) This opinion addresses the motion (ECF No. 15) filed by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and City Council of Baltimore (collectively, “the City”) and former Mayor Sheila Dixon (collectively, “the City Defendants”).1 Plaintiff’s opposition to the motion (ECF No. 27) and the City Defendants’ reply (ECF No. 32) have been considered. 1 Bradley’s complaint is somewhat confusing in that it names Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake separately in the list of parties, in addition to the City Council of Baltimore. (Compl. ¶¶ 8, 9.) Counsel for the City Defendants has clarified that the proper nomenclature applicable to “the City” is “Mayor and City Council of Baltimore,” according to the Charter of Baltimore City, § 1.

  • Underground Video Gambling: Still in Violation of the Law, and Still Thriving
    Underground Video Gambling: Still in Violation of the Law, and Still Thriving A year after The Abell Report chronicled an illegal industry in Baltimore City and County, with income largely unreported, not much has changed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In January 2006 The Abell Foundation released a study chronicling an illegal, multi-million dollar slot machine industry in Baltimore City and County, with income that goes largely unreported to tax collectors. The study, “Underground Video Gambling Industry Costing Maryland More than $15 million Annually in Uncollected Taxes,” reported there were nearly 3,500 video gambling devices in 2005 in bars and other businesses where gamblers are awarded their winnings by bartenders and clerks, instead of from slots in the machine.1 Most of the machines are owned by vending companies that split the proceeds with bar owners. One year later the industry is still thriving, with the city and county governments continuing to license the machines under the pretext that they are for “amusement only.” However, the Maryland Comptroller’s office responded to the 2006 study by attempting to collect one of the taxes that has gone underpaid by vending machine owners. For the first time, the comptroller’s compliance division is coordinating with the city office that registers the machines to collect the Admissions and Amusement tax, a levy of 10 percent of income from each machine. By cross-checking the city’s list of vending machine owners with state tax records, the comptroller’s office was able to locate more than a hundred machine owners who had not been paying the tax.2 The new 1 effort goes to the heart of the problems cited in the Abell study, which calculated that the industry brings in between $91 million and $181 million a year, much of which ($63 million to $153 million) goes unreported to tax collectors.3 The study also prompted two unsuccessful bills in the Maryland General Assembly’s 2006 session.
