| Info | Director of Labor Studies for the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) at the Dundalk campus since April, 1997. He has also spent 20 years as a union organizer and five years as a stay-at-home dad. Barry would eliminate "extravagant PILOT (payment-in-lieu-of-taxes) programs, which offer generous financial loopholes to wealthy developers." He proposes a city minimum wage of $10 per hour for any business with more than 10 workers, to keep more wealth in the city instead of having it extracted by large national corporations. To improve accountability, Barry would decentralize the school system, transferring decision-making power from North Avenue to principals; and require that school board members must have children in city public schools.
Other issues he supports are taking the profits out of the drug trade by decriminalizing drugs like marijuana and cocaine; expanding the public transportation system, including neighborhood shuttle buses and bike lanes and trails; and increasing funding for home ownership programs.
Former treasurer of the Lauraville Improvement Association for six years.
