Hogan told WJZ on Friday that the city had failed to address the problems associated with squeegee workers, which “have been prevalent for many years.”
“It certainly has had a big impact on people who are afraid to come into town because they’ve been harassed for years and years,” Hogan said. “It’s the pinnacle of the city’s problem right off the Inner Harbor with someone to shoot.”
Mayor Brandon Scott has been active in helping young people who earn money cleaning car windshields on street corners.
In 2021, he started 90 day action plan Squeegee aims to help workers by placing them in stable jobs.
