“On December 24th, the City of Baltimore instituted its third mandatory furlough day. This is a reminder that for many, this time of year does not come without its challenges. To me, these furloughs, taken voluntarily by our employees collectively to share the pain of our budget cuts and reduce layoffs, are a selfless example of the true holiday spirit that exists within all of our hearts in Baltimore City.
When we consider what initiated Hanukkah and Christmas we discover that out of times of need came miracles for that time. In a world that attempted to spread darkness, there came a marvelous light. Whether the light was fueled by oil that miraculously lasted for eight days, or from the Miracle Birth that shined in the midst of darkness--we are all reminded that there is no better love than the love we share with one another.
This is no ordinary love. It is the love of God, the love of family and the love of faith that fuels the light that promotes self reflection and renewal.
On behalf of Jasmine, Joshua and I, Happy Holidays and may Peace and Joy abound in the New Year.”
