It's typical for politicians once they're elected to go back on some of the promises they made on the campaign trail. However, none of them are more noticeable than Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh's recent blocking of a City Council bill to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour.

On Friday, Pugh, who assumed office in December 2016, vetoed legislation on Friday that would have raised Baltimore's minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022. The council meets again on April 3rd and would need 12 of 15 votes to override the mayor's veto.

"The economic impact that I think this has on the city making us the ‘hole in the donut.’ It is not appropriate at this time that I will sign this bill," Pugh said.

The mayor continued to say that requiring employers in Baltimore to pay a higher minimum wage could cause a mass exodus to surrounding towns and jurisdictions, which would only exacerbate the unemployment problem. The state of Maryland is expected to raise the current minimum wage to $9.25 on July 1st, and to $10.10 a year later.

"I believe it is in the best interest of the city that we follow the state," Pugh continued.

While Pugh's position changed because of the significant and unexpected expenses the city is facing, including a $130 million schools budget deficit, her supporters are less than sympathetic. They feel completely betrayed by her actions.

.@MayorPugh50 you campaigned on $15hr and you chose to veto the legislation? This is bait and switch politics. Excuses are NOT GOOD ENOUGH! — Tim Black ™ (@RealTimBlack) March 25, 2017

@MayorPugh50 Shame on you. Can NOT wait to actively campaign against you. — ktms1 (@ktms1) March 24, 2017

@MayorPugh50 So much for those campaign promises, traitor. Another mayor selling out to corporate cronyism when people are hurting the most. — matt (@hatt1) March 24, 2017

Even though Mayor Pugh is receiving tons of hate from liberals, the pro-business community is singing her praises, including the Greater Baltimore Committee and the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB).

NFIB's Maryland Director Mike O'Halloran told the Baltimore Sun that Pugh "displayed leadership and courage by standing up for the small employers of Baltimore."

"Her action vetoing $15 an hour minimum wage will no doubt save jobs in our city and create a sense of stability and predictability throughout the area."
