Augh… so the Mayor of Baltimore, Sheila Dixon, has some charges against her. If she’s convicted, the NAACP wants to make sure she’s unable to appoint a white person or a Republican to the job.
We are friendly with the mayor,” said Ronald Patterson Jr.., head of the NAACP’s legal redress committee. “But it appears that there is the possibility she could be convicted, and if so, we want to make sure the law is clear.”
Citing a loophole in the state constitution that would allow the governor to appoint anyone to the city’s highest office if a sitting mayor is convicted of “misconduct,” NAACP officials said they want the law changed to ensure that either the city council president automatically becomes mayor, or that a specially appointed successor could not run in a special election.
“In a majority African-American town the governor could technically appoint a white mayor,” said Marvin “Doc” Cheatham, president of the Baltimore Chapter of the NAACP. “Or in a traditionally democratic city a republican giovernor could appooint a republican mayor.“
