Dixon expects to be a part of Obama event
Sheila Dixon expects to be part of the festivities when Barack Obama comes to town Saturday, a source close to the mayor said yesterday.
Maryland politicos have been buzzing about whether the president-elect, having just left behind a shady home-state governor, will appear on stage with the newly indicted Baltimore mayor. Speculation that Dixon would be disinvited grew as word spread that Obama would speak at the War Memorial Building rather than City Hall.
(Official details have yet to be made public, but insiders say they’ve settled on 4 p.m. at the War Memorial Building, which is on the other side of a plaza from City Hall.)
“She’s scheduled to be a part of it,” my source said.
