It's Midday with the Mayor, another in Tom Hall's series of monthly conversations with Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott about key issues facing the city.

With the national spotlight shining on Baltimore in this Preakness Week, City Hall is rocked by yet another ethics controversy, as the city's Ethics Board ruled that City Council President Nick Mosby violated ethics rules on campaign solicitations. Tom asks the mayor about that ruling, plus: new initiatives on SMART policing; drawing new police-district boundaries; allocating $8 million in federal funds to help curb the city's gun violence; redevelopment progress at Pimlico; and the latest data on how many city employees have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
