BALTIMORE'S NEXT MAYOR: RAWLINGS-BLAKE
"I try not to be overwhelmed because I have been working very hard to move the city forward since I got on the (city) council in 1995," Rawlings-Blake told WBAL NEWS in Annapolis Tuesday, where she attended Governor O'Malley's State of the State Address.
The 39-year-old council president said her leadership style would not change.
"My office changes, but I'm still the same person. I will continue to give it my all to make Baltimore better," Rawlings-Blake said.
Rawlings-Blake will take the oath of office just after noon on Thursday, three hours after Dixon enters Courthouse East to be sentence as part of her guilty plea.
On Tuesday, Rawlings-Blake also appeared before the House Judiciary Committee testifying in favor of legislation that would close what city officials say is a loophole in the state's gun laws.
The bill would give the same sentence to offenders who use long guns when they commit crimes, as offenders who use handguns.
Under current law, those who use long guns receive a lesser sentence.

Our common enemy is the SYSTEM that endorses the ideals of Racial Discrimination and Prejudice.
The American P.R.I.D.E. Movement is NOT exclusive to Americans of African descent, it is open to All People who are prepared to acknowledge and properly address the injustice toward Citizens of African descent present throughout American History. It is a Movement for Citizens committed to moving toward a change for the better in our great nation.
