Baltimore City housing emails reveal suspected fraud and policy violations in housing office. New emails obtained by WBAL-TV 11 News Investigates confirm a fraud investigation involving a Baltimore City Department of Housing office is underway. The office is the same unit that placed a woman and her six children into an East Baltimore rowhome. The woman, Teonna Brown, faces criminal charges after police found her children unattended and living in deplorable conditions. The fraud investigation into the Division of Home Ownership and Housing Preservation concerns funds not getting to families in need, 11 News Investigates has learned through emails obtained through a public records request. "We have completed our review of the potential fraud case involving the Department of Housing and have identified one individual believed to be involved in criminal activity," one email exchange from Baltimore Police Colonel John Herzog reads. Police referred the case to the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office. On Wednesday, Mayor Brandon Scott addressed the investigation during an unrelated news conference. "That investigation came directly from me to the colonel. So that tells you everything I think about the activity," Scott said. The mayor also said the fraud investigation began with concerns brought to his attention by housing officials. "We took the appropriate course," Scott said. "We do not want to get ahead of any investigation because I want people held accountable in every way they can." The Division of Home Ownership and Housing Preservation is responsible for providing money to clients in need of rent or mortgage assistance or help paying for repairs. The email exchange obtained by 11 News Investigates also revealed "additional significant internal policy and procedural violations appear to have been committed by several members of the agency." Mayor Scott declined to provide additional information, citing the ongoing investigation. "We have to let the experts and the professionals do their work," the mayor added.
Char Technologies advances pyrolysis processing facilities across Canada and the United States. Char Technologies is scaling high-temperature pyrolysis facilities across Canada and the U.S. to process woody biomass and biosolids into RNG and biocarbon for steelmakers. Strategic partnerships have enabled successful PFAS elimination in biochar and created immediate commercial-scale off-take avenues. September 7, 2026 1-2 minutes Char Technologies is scaling up high-temperature pyrolysis facilities in Canada and the United States to turn complex organic waste streams into valuable outputs. The company is deploying systems that convert woody biomass and municipal biosolids into biocarbon, biochar, and renewable natural gas (RNG), while strategic partners like ArcelorMittal, Synagro, and the City of Baltimore collaborate on commercial deployment and contaminant remediation. The industry faces a major challenge in processing low-value organic waste, such as woody biomass and biosolids, into economically viable products. Unlocking financial feasibility requires capturing value from both the solid and volatile fractions of feedstocks. Furthermore, biochar markets often rely on diffuse off-take partners and volatile carbon credits, while biosolids management presents the additional technical hurdles of removing persistent contaminants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). To address these hurdles, Char Technologies utilizes a high-temperature pyrolysis process that splits woody biomass into 20% solid biocarbon and 78% volatile matter and gas. The volatile gas stream is upgraded into RNG, creating a dual revenue model that maximizes process economics. To target immediate, large-scale industrial off-take, the company partnered with steelmaker ArcelorMittal to supply biocarbon as a direct replacement for metallurgical coal. For biosolids, Char Technologies partnered with Synagro and the City of Baltimore on a pilot initiative designed to eliminate PFAS during thermal conversion. These initiatives have yielded strong operational and technical milestones. Pilot results with Synagro and the City of Baltimore confirmed that PFAS were substantially eliminated from the resulting biosolids-derived biochar. On the commercial front, Char Technologies is preparing to launch its first full-scale plant in Thorold, Ontario, with additional regional sites under development in Saint-Félicien, Québec, and Hurkett, Ontario. To accelerate broader deployment across the United States, the company plans to pursue technology licensing models alongside direct project development. * Shanthi Prabha V Shanthi Prabha V, PhD, is the Managing Editor of Biochar Today.

Baltimore DOT Director Veronica Perry stepping down Oct. 1. * By Kaitlyn Bancroft, WBAL NewsRadio 1090 and FM 101.5 * August 19, 2026 Baltimore City's Department of Transportation Director Veronica Perry is stepping down, with her last day expected to be Oct 1. Perry had only been in that role for a year and a half, starting in January 2025. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott announced the departure Wednesday morning. "I want to thank outgoing Director Perry for her service to the City of Baltimore and her leadership of DOT," Mayor Brandon Scott said in a press release. "I am confident that the entire department will continue the critical work of maintaining and strengthening our transportation infrastructure day in and day out, and I want to thank Interim Director Attila for stepping into this role as we search for our next DOT Director." Director of General Services Berke Attila will take over as interim director.
Baltimore sues Kalshi and Polymarket, calling prediction markets illegal sports betting. By Chevall Pryce and Brian Carlton, The Baltimore Sun The Tribune Content Agency August 13, 2026 6:11 PM Gift Article Baltimore City is suing prediction-market companies Kalshi and Polymarket, accusing them of using a legal loophole to offer sports betting in Maryland without complying with state gambling laws. The lawsuit asks a judge to stop the companies from accepting transactions from city residents and to order civil penalties, restitution for customers and the return of profits earned through the alleged violations. The complaint alleges the companies offer transactions that function like sportsbook wagers but label them "event contracts" and "prediction market trades." "These companies are running sportsbooks without licenses and betting that a new label will put them above the law," Mayor Brandon Scott said. "It won't. Baltimore will not let multibillion-dollar companies put profits over people and harm our communities through illegal gambling." Polymarket disputed the city's authority to regulate it. "City-specific action runs counter to the CFTC's established framework for regulating prediction markets," a Polymarket spokesperson said. "As courts have recognized, prediction markets on CFTC-registered exchanges are governed by federal law, not a patchwork of state and local rules." Kalshi also disputed the city's claims, saying it is federally regulated and complies with consumer protection laws. "People use regulated prediction markets like Robinhood, Kalshi and CME because they're neutral, fair and transparent marketplaces," the spokesperson said. "Kalshi spent years getting regulated by the federal government and abides by all applicable regulations, including consumer protection laws. If the Mayor has genuine concerns about guardrails, we're always happy to chat. In the meantime, we will defend these claims in court." Who regulates prediction markets? Baltimore's lawsuits come as a federal appeals court is considering whether Maryland can regulate prediction markets, putting the state at the center of a growing national fight over who has authority over the platforms. In 2025, Kalshi sued Maryland after state gambling regulators ordered it to stop offering sports-related event contracts, calling them unlicensed sports betting. Maryland has argued that the contracts are gambling and therefore subject to state law. A federal judge ruled against Kalshi later that year, declining to block Maryland's enforcement action. Kalshi appealed the decision, and the case is now before the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court heard arguments in May but had not ruled as of Aug. 13. The legal battle comes as prediction markets have rapidly expanded into sports. Fortune and Gambling Capital estimate that prediction markets accounted for about 27% of legal U.S. sports-betting volume during the World Cup. How the platforms work. Kalshi and Polymarket became prominent in 2024 by allowing users to trade contracts tied to the outcomes of real-life events, including presidential elections, sports games, award shows and live television. Markets have included questions about how many people will be deported during the Trump presidency and what words a sports announcer will say during a broadcast. The companies distinguish themselves from sportsbooks such as DraftKings and FanDuel by describing their platforms as exchanges where users trade event contracts with one another rather than bet against the house. Baltimore's Law Department disputes that distinction. The city's complaint says Polymarket has an in-house market-making operation that can take positions opposite customers and profit from price movements. The Law Department said in the complaint that Polymarket therefore "functions much like a traditional sportsbook, where users effectively trade against the house rather than other bettors." Instead of generating income from customers' losing bets, Kalshi and Polymarket collect transaction fees. Both operate under federal regulatory frameworks, but Baltimore officials argue that federal oversight does not shield their sports contracts from Maryland's gambling laws. That distinction has practical consequences for Maryland customers. Licensed sportsbooks and sports gambling platforms are restricted to people 21 and older in the state, while Kalshi and Polymarket allow people 18 and older to use their platforms. City claims local ordinances were violated. Baltimore's Law Department alleges the companies also violated the Baltimore Consumer Protection Ordinance by making gambling easily accessible while providing misleading information about how their wagers work. "Kalshi and Polymarket cannot circumvent Baltimore's consumer protections by repackaging gambling as something else or claiming federal regulation puts them beyond the reach of our laws," City Solicitor Ebony Thompson said. "The City will continue to use its consumer protection authority to stop deceptive and unlawful conduct and hold companies accountable when they put our residents at risk." Baltimore's counsel argues that the companies' lower age threshold circumvents Maryland gambling laws and could make gambling addiction more likely. Multiple other cities and municipalities are suing Kalshi and Polymarket for similar reasons, including Arizona, Utah and New York. Baltimore has previously sued FanDuel, DraftKings, Stake.us and Chumba Casino over alleged deceptive marketing and gambling-related harm.
