Mayor Dixon to Resign

This came as somewhat of a surprise to me. Instead of further pursuing the motion for a re-trial Mayor Dixon submitted an Alford plea to one count of perjury and tendered her resignation effective February 4th. This paves the way for City Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to step up as the Mayor of Baltimore. What isn't known is how this will affect current city policies and initiatives that were started under Dixon's administration.

The Baltimore Sun has a full story below.
