Millions in reparations money remain unused as Baltimore officials battle over who gets control, according to a local report. The Baltimore Beat reported that the $35 million in revenue from the recreational cannabis tax has not reached residents yet due to infighting between City Hall and the Community Reinvestment and Reparations Commission, a 17-member body established in November 2024 to oversee how the funds are distributed. Since Maryland legalized recreational cannabis three years ago, "not a single dollar has reached the people it was meant to help, and the first round of funding may still be a year away," the report said.
