In an outcome that became increasingly inevitable over the last few weeks, the now-former mayor of Baltimore, Catherine Pugh, officially tendered her resignation letter on Thursday, apologizing for the damage she has done to both the image of the city and the credibility of the office.
The letter comes a month after Pugh went on paid administrative leave amid the growing scandal concerning her lucrative deals with various city and state-connected entities for her self-published children’s book, “Healthy Holly.” Pugh claimed that she could not return to work because she was continuing to recover from pneumonia and apparently remained holed up in her home, with no one seeing her in public for weeks.
