Joan Pratt

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is sitting down to a Board of Estimates meeting this morning with Comptroller Joan Pratt. It’s the first one since Comptroller Pratt filed a lawsuit against the mayor’s administration to stop her from moving forward with her plan to replace city phones.

In July, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake chose Chris Tonjes to be Baltimore’s new Chief Information Officer. He was CIO of Washington DC’s public library system before starting here six weeks ago. He takes the position after a tumultuous six months for the Mayor’s Office of Information Technology.
