Mayor Catherine Pugh stood by her conviction that she will not be held to a strict timeline in selecting the next Baltimore Police Commissioner when engaging with media at Lexington Market, Wednesday. "Here's what I'm not going to do," Pugh said while eating in front of a media gaggle who attended a scheduled event at the market. "I'm not going to be rushed into this process." Pugh had originally said she would name the city’s next top cop by Halloween. She revised that deadline today, saying the original projection was more of a hopeful target than a mandate. An avid runner, Pugh compared the self-imposed deadline to how she approaches tackling races, saying a finish faster than expected is great, but "if I go over that time, I'm going to be pretty close to what my deadline is," Pugh said.
