Mayor's decision on future maybe coming soon

Faceboook

Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh's personal attorney says she remains in poor health and is not lucid enough to decide whether to resign. 

Pugh's attorney Steve Silverman told reporters that the mayor could make a decision on whether to step down from office by next week.  His comments came Thursday after the FBI and IRS searched the mayor's homes, office and other locations tied to her.  Pugh has faced mounting calls to resign, including from Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, who called for her resignation shortly after federal law enforcement searched her home.  Pugh has been on a leave of absence since April 1st after dealing with a case of pneumonia.  She's under investigation for her lucrative book deals with businesses that work closely with the city.
