Del. Dereck Davis caused major fiasco in Maryland when he unleashing kleptocracy in Prince George’s (PG) County when he spear headed HB1107 law to change governance in PGCPS and steered his wife to be a Deputy CEO of PGCPS in charge of special education funds running into millions of dollars. PGCPS School districts lost millions of dollars in questionable circumstances, problems which continues to date.
Annapolis, Md. (Reform Sasscer) In a major shock and an embarrassment to the state of Maryland, a panel of Maryland state lawmakers voted Monday to recommend Del. Dereck Davis to become the state’s next treasurer without proper checks and balances.
The Special Joint Legislative Committee to Select the State Treasurer voted 10-0 for Davis, a Prince George’s County Democrat who has been the House Economic Matters chairman for many years.
The panel heard from four candidates who are seeking the position before voting on the recommendation. The other three candidates are Jorge Cortes, Joseph Zimmerman and John Douglass.
All four names will be submitted to the Maryland General Assembly, which is scheduled to vote on selecting a new treasurer during a special session of the legislature, which is convening next week for a special session on redistricting to create a new congressional map.
The treasurer’s office is becoming vacant with the retirement of Nancy Kopp.
Del. Dereck Davis faced mounting pressure to resign after unleashing kleptocracy in Prince George’s (PG) County when he spear headed HB1107 law to change governance in PGCPS. (See the story here) Prince George’s County has been abuzz with allegations that officials within the Maryland delegation have engaged in racketeering, money laundering, and other criminal activities—including scheming to enrich themselves at the expense of the children of the county and the wider population.
The Maryland treasurer holds one of three seats on the state’s powerful Board of Public Works. The treasurer also leads several key state boards and financial planning committees, including the Maryland State Retirement and Pension Systems.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is an unprecedented event in which we demand a transparent investigation of Del. Dereck Davis and rejection of his candidacy to be Maryland treasurer. Call your elected officials now and the law enforcement community to stop this advanced public corruption emanating from Prince George’s County and affecting the entire state of Maryland. Don’t take it lightly.
UPPER MARLBORO, M.d. (FOX 5 DC) – Prince George’s County educators and school employees say they’re understaffed and overworked, and it’s reached a breaking point.
About 200 people came out for a rally organized by the school labor unions Thursday evening ahead of the school board meeting.
“We’re overworked,” said Kendra, a Highland Park Elementary Kindergarten teacher who opted not to give her last name. “Testing, still having to cover classes, students who are coming in sick. We’re the nurses, we’re the therapists, we are everything right now.”
When asked what would help the most, she replied, “Support and understanding.”
The district says currently there are 400 teacher vacancies. Dr. Donna Christy, President of the Prince George’s County Educators’ Association, said staff often have to cover extra classrooms when there aren’t enough substitutes.
“They are absolutely exhausted,” Christy said. “They can’t handle the workload and they’re breaking. I’m hearing on a daily basis people ready to quit.”
The union has a list of demands including hiring more support staff and providing teachers with more planning hours. They also want to feel heard by the administration.
“Taking us seriously when we say that the workloads are too much,” Christy said.
It’s not just teachers who are feeling overworked.
“There’s a lot of individuals in the school with the bus system-they’re doing double and triple runs,” said Martin Diggs, President of ACE-AFSCME which represents support staff. “If the parents could just be patient with those individuals because those bus drivers really are the heroes of the day.”
A school district spokeswoman said in a statement:
“Amid the ongoing pandemic our school system is not unlike others across the nation in that we are feeling a pinch filling critical positions, from school bus drivers to cafeteria workers to teachers. While our number of active substitute teachers remain comparable to prior years, public safety and health concerns have fewer ready to engage. We are continually working with our team to attract new talent and ensure fully staffed schools.”
Some at the rally later spoke in front of the school board.
For those in the working sector, organized labor unions fought for better wages, reasonable hours and safer working conditions. The labor movement led efforts to stop child labor, give health benefits and provide aid to workers who were injured or retired.
However, ASASP Union and Maryland State Education Association for quite sometimes led by senior officers over the years has been working to derail efforts in Prince George’s county working in an organized scheme. We must say no to this shenanigans in order to help turn the county around. The power of labor unions in general rests in their two main tools of influence: restricting labor supply and increasing labor demand. … Since a higher wage rate equates to less work per dollar, unions often face problems when negotiating higher wages and instead will often focus on increasing the demand for labor.
Modern unions have shifted their focus to a number of targeted issues and work with management to protect the interests of its members in those areas.
Job Stability. One of the most fundamental issues for union leaders and members is long-term job stability as PGCEA is currently doing. …
Pension Protection. …
Collective Bargaining as shown by current leaders in PGCEA.
Mr. Christian Rhodes who is the current Chief of Staff for PGCPS is involved in numerous conflicts of interests involving PGCEA and MSEA where he was an officer and other unions facilitating criminal activities and he is one of the despots. He makes more than $215,000 a year at the expense of the kids #DespotsMustFall
Theresa Dudley of PGCEA (Seen here smiling) is facilitating the worst misconduct in history of PGCEA union and the Prince George’s county public schools (PGCPS). Demand that, she resigns one of the two positions she current holds due to conflicts of interests. #DespostsMustFall
The residents, parents, and students of Prince George’s County deserve better from their county school leadership.
LARGO, Md. (Reform Sasscer) Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks recently named a controversial task force to review the Maryland school system’s Board of Education and issue recommendations for revamping a board roiled by it’s own “controversy, petty squabbles and allegations of misconduct.”
“Over the last several decades, our Board of Education has continued to switch between an all-elected board, an all-appointed board and the current hybrid model, along with increasing in size, without achieving the intended outcome of having a Board that functions collectively with the best interests of students, teachers and our entire school system at the forefront of all they do,” Alsobrooks said in a statement Tuesday (November 9, 2021).
Alsobrooks said the purpose of the task force is to “study best practices regionally and nationally and deliver recommendations to County leadership that will guide us in creating a Board structure that facilitates collaboration and helps us continue to move our school system forward.”
The 14-member task force includes an official with the U.S. Department of Education, representatives from two teacher’s unions, the Prince George’s County Chamber of Commerce, and the county’s chapter of the NAACP. (The full list of members is below).
Alsobrooks’ office said all meetings will be virtual and open to the public, and the group is expected to provide a report with recommendations to Alsobrooks by Jan. 14.
Alsobrooks said she formed the task force “working in collaboration with the County’s State House and Senate Delegations and the County Council.”
The Prince George’s County Board of Education is made up of nine elected members, four appointed members and one student member.
While officials in the county have pointed to dysfunction going back years, conflicts on the board — largely between a group of elected members and the appointed board chair Juanita Miller — came to a head earlier this year.
Miller, for her part, alleged “serious ethics infractions” against those same board members.
Allegations against those members included that they pushed a union-friendly resolution regarding school construction projects after receiving campaign contributions from a construction workers’ union, and that they hired a lobbyist to advocate for a change to the board’s structure to remove the appointed members.
But the board members vigorously denied them, and The Washington Post reported in August that the ethics reports were riddled with “misleading information and factual errors that undermine some of the allegations.”
In August, Miller, the board chair, was unable to get enough votes from the rest of the board to formally accept the ethics findings, essentially bringing matters to a stalemate.
The Maryland State Board of Education — which Alsobrooks urged to review the ethics reports — said it couldn’t look into them until they were accepted by the board.
The 14 members of the Prince George’s County School Board Transformation Workgroup are:
Bishop Kevin V. Gresham Sr., senior pastor, Greater St. John Cathedral
Amity Pope, Citizen Representative
Nakisha Yates, former PGCPS teacher, current PGCPS parent
Dr. Donna Christy, president, Prince George’s County Educators Association
Dr. Sean T. Coleman, associate professor, Bowie State University, Department of Education Studies and Leadership
Christian Rhodes, chief of staff, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, U.S. Department of Education
Verjeana McCotter-Jacobs, chief Transformation Officer, National School Boards Association
David Harrington, president and CEO, Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce
Melanie Gamble, president, Prince George’s County Association of Realtors
Pokuaa Owusu-Acheaw, managing director of Legislative Affairs, Maryland State Education Association
Linda Thornton Thomas, Prince George’s County Branch, NAACP
Sue Livera, retired educator, Citizen Representative
Doris Reed, executive director of the Association of Supervisory and Administrative Personnel
Dr. Rosa Delia Smith, director, Prince George’s Community College at University Town Center.
OPINION:
The phrase “a leopard never changes its spots” means that it’s impossible for one to change their character, even if they will try very hard. The expression, sometimes also used as “a leopard can’t change its spots”, is used to explain the idea that no one can change their innate nature. The controversial officials who have been part of the problem and engaged in various misconduct in the past and ongoing coverups involving the courts cannot be trusted to make sound judgements or shoot themselves on the foot.
In this case, the county leadership made serious mistakes by appointing the following officials to be part of the committee after being part of the problem over the years.
Call your elected officials now and the law enforcement community to say “No” to continuous public corruption in the Prince George’s county public schools. Enough is enough.
LARGO, Md. (Reform Sasscer) Despite widespread and passionate opposition to a redistricting proposal in Maryland’s Prince George’s County, council members voted 6-3 on Tuesday in favor of moving ahead with the plan.
The county council’s vote to move forward followed around six hours of testimony including more than 150 speakers, who were universally opposed to the plan and urged council members to reject it. However, Derrick Leon Davis (D-District 6) and Mel Franklin (D-At Large), Council Chair Calvin S. Hawkins II (D-At Large); Council Vice Chair Deni Taveras (D-District 2); and council members Todd M. Turner (D-District 4) and Sydney J. Harrison (D-District 9) voted in favor of the map.
Council members Jolene Ivy (D-District 5) and Thomas E. Dernoga (D-District 1), who also voted against the map, said they hoped that residents would not be disheartened but galvanized to participate in an already-heated election season.
“It is a question of whether each of you see yourselves as public servants or as the kind of politician who serves their own interests before those of the people they represent,” said Daniel Oates, president of the Calvert Hills Citizens Association.
The controversy stemmed from an October meeting when council member Derrick Leon Davis proposed using his own redistricting map instead of one produced by a nonpartisan redistricting commission.
That led to accusations from activists and other members of the community that the council was being undemocratic and resorting to partisan gerrymandering.
“The Prince George’s County NAACP would like for the council to consider using the commission map,” said Linda Thornton-Thomas, president of the county’s NAACP chapter. “It’s based on population. We think that’s the fair way to go.”
The map produced by Davis — which is what the council approved on Tuesday — creates a majority Latino district in District 2. It will have a significant impact on elections for council seats.
For example, former Council member Eric Olson was running for an open seat in District 3, but he will need to run against an incumbent in District 1 under the new map.“It came to light without a shocking lack of transparency and without any meaningful community input,” said Sarah Turberville, a member of the town council in Edmonston.
Turberville said the map and the process by which it was crafted “creates the perception, if not the reality, of a political gerrymander.”
Council members who voted in favor of the map said that it accounted for demographic changes and growth in the county’s population. However, Davis’s map, introduced Oct. 14, removes from their districts former council member Eric Olson, who planned to run in District 3; Krystal Oriadha, who planned to run in District 7; and Tamara Davis Brown, who was considering running in District 9 in a clear sign of conspiracy to lockout competitors and keep the status quo in place. Maintaining the existing state of affairs in place ensures moneys will continue to be stolen organically from the county coppers due to lack of accountability.
Recently, Prince Georgians were in an uproar about the $27 million spent on the police discrimination lawsuit. Should taxpayers be upset about spending that much on a whistleblower case? Yes! Especially when $25 million was paid to lawyers and NOT the police who suffered from the discrimination.
Do you know that is not the only lawsuit involving the County?
Prince George’s County is a defendant or party in 68 cases now pending in federal court. Do you know who is going to foot the bill to defend the County? You, the hardworking taxpayer.

I hear many saying, “Why is this a problem? Prince George’s County is a big County, and this is to be expected.” One would be led to believe that is a reasonable position, except many of the cases involve the County school system or “John Doe” and “Jane Doe.” Those cases indicate a problem with violations of civil rights.
Cases involving an address or property description as a party might involve eminent domain. What projects does the County have outstanding that would require the taking of private property?
Pay close attention to when most of the cases were filed. The cases filed since 2018 indicate concerns with policies and decisions of the current administration. Why was legal action the only suitable resolution? Earlier cases are carryovers from a prior administration, but why has the current leadership allowed the cases to run and accrue more legal costs?
Litigation might be an unpleasant fact of life. However, I believe there is a problem when the government is a defendant in so many civil cases. To me, that is a sign that government is violating or infringing upon the rights of the people – our neighbors, which is a big concern for me.
Government is supposed to be “of, by, and for” the people. So much legal action taken against our County government would seem to suggest that our local government is not.
Prince George’s county needs new leadership to help move the county forward due to corruption involving public officials and some lawyers engaged in public corruption after major bribes where given to them to keep things under the table.
Bribery usually becomes a criminal action if the perpetrator offers or gives something of value to a public official for the purpose of influencing their legal duties. Public officials include civil servants such as police, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and even judges. The public official accepting or soliciting a bribe may also be charged with bribery. The felony of bribery could lead to the incarceration of the accused with serious penalties that may include years behind bars and extensive fines.
Bribery generally does not involve the police if the matter is between two individual without any public office related matters.
The perpetrator will engage the target and seek a favor of some kind for another offer that may include monetary decompensation. However, the matter elevates to criminal when one of these parties is a public official because the power he or she may have over the public increases significantly. The briber may involve the other person in something that negatively impacts others but improves the situation for a select few or only the two in the bribe. As identified in the past through this blog, we demand justice of the victims after various officials in the Prince George’s county were bribed to keep the problems going for many years.
The Crime of Bribery
Bribery has the intention to influence the person sought for the bribe. Then, the influence changes to what this person accomplishes for the bribe itself. He or she may grant a favor, change a city ordinance, affect how the public views something or even change election ballots or votes. The greater the influence the person has, the worse the penalties are when facing conviction in a court of law. The prosecutor must show corrupt intent involved in this process, and both the briber and the bribed may face criminal charges for involvement. Some crimes elevate to extortion depending on the circumstances.
