Today, either @mayorbmscott.bsky.social signed my bill to establish a Department of Consumer Protection and Business Licensing, or we’re hit-makers, depending on who you ask.

My staff is digitizing the City’s 1931 zoning ordinance and will make it available online.

I haven’t read it all yet, but it’s worth considering that we were consistently gaining population when our zoning code was only 46 pages long. It’s 580 pages today.

Alice Kennedy is a great Housing Commissioner. Glad to be at Live Baltimore’s State of the City Market event, and proud to hear her representation of the City’s work to a packed house of people committed to and excited by Baltimore’s opportunity.

“Cohen called the city’s need for a consumer protection agency ‘profound’ and seemed bullish on the council’s ability to get a bill passed.”

I’ve been meeting with MD House and Senate committee chairs recently, hearing and learning from their experience as I take on chairmanship of Land Use and Transportation.

I enjoyed a wonderful conversation with Delegate Joseline Peña-Melnyk at City Hall today.

Got to recognize some great folks for volunteer service to the Hillen neighborhood yesterday. Also, Hillen Road Improvement Association did not play about the food. The gumbo was next level.

Started my day writing cards to kids at The Children’s Home, organized by our neighbors and friends Russell and Jared. Great music, donuts, coffee, people and vibes to start the day. Holiday cheer!

At Thursday’s City Council swearing-in, each member will provide a book of their choosing upon which to place their hand to take the Oath of Office. Just picked mine up from the Enoch Pratt Free Library.

The City Council passed the Harford Road Overlay District!

This allows apartment buildings everywhere within 500 feet of this 3-mile arterial, allowing greater housing opportunity and diversity, and creating potential for population growth needed to support neighborhood businesses.

From tomorrow’s City Council meeting agenda.

Thank you @mayorbmscott.bsky.social!
