Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's two state proposals for tougher penalties for illegal, loaded guns were introduced to the Maryland General Assembly, to reduce gun violence in Baltimore and Maryland. A new social media website, baltimorecity.gov/SaferCity, contains information about the bills, links to related news articles, editorial commentary, and press releases as well as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube content. Maryland residents who support the legislation are urged to join a growing coalition of business, community, faith, government, and institutional leaders by signing-up with their e-mail address and linking with friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter. The website provides a fact sheet and will provide updates on the status of the legislation as it moves through the legislative process.
