But he was horrible member of congress!
Chairman of the House Committee for Oversight and Reform. Waiting for the conspiracy theories to start flying. Will the autopsy report be classified?

"They sell us the president the same way they sell us our clothes and our cars. They sell us every thing from youth to religion the same time they sell us our wars. I want to know who the men in the shadows are. I want to hear somebody asking them why. They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are but theyre never the ones to fight or to die." - Jackson Browne Lives In The Balance
NPR did a nice piece on him this morning. The question on my mind they didn't ask/answer was "how well did he do for his constituents in Baltimore?" Crime rate, homicides, poverty, etc. They did mention Trump getting on him for his rat infested district, but the correspondent dismissed it, saying that didn't go anywhere...
Baltimore & surrounding area could be most criminal infested spot in US..
Guy had moments in DC when I admired him...but his own spot in
Baltimore deserved full attention
The man is a piece of shyte congressman(as most congress people are) but I didn't know it was his duty to control crime, homicide, poverty, rat infestation rates in his district. This one is on the people of Baltimore not congress.Originally Posted by buck000
Wasn't expecting to hear about this when I got up this morning.

RIP...I think i speak for most people on the forum that he was a horrible politician.

Fair point. I totally agree that folks are responsible for their own outcomes.
In an NPR article, Cummings says
I'd just be curious is his actions helped or hindered Baltimoreans' situation, seeing how passionate Cummings says he was about his constituents..."Mr. President, I go home to my district daily," Cummings fired back in a letter to Trump. "Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors."
Referring to investigations of the president, which he perceived as the true impetus for the derogatory remarks, Cummings said in the letter that it is "my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents."
What did he have on the Clintons?
I wonder if where he is going will resemble Baltimore.
A great quote.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
I know...but be careful with this one.
There is very similar one claimed to be said by Mark Twain.
That one is a fake.
But Darrow said this in his biography.
“It is not true that all creeds and cultures are equally assimilable in a First World nation born of England, Christianity, and Western civilization. Race, faith, ethnicity and history leave genetic fingerprints no ‘proposition nation’ can erase." -- Pat Buchanan
So...would it be safe to say Cummings did Baltimore a favor by dying?

If he had all these health challenges he should have retired a long time ago and and got the treatment that he needed. Problem is, by retiring he would have to relinquish his power and he didn't want to lose it. He cared too much about the power he didn't want to let it go.

I thought he was in his 80s. He did not age well.
...
The member of Congress tapped to replace Rep. Elijah Cummings as chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform recently “suffered a medical episode.”
New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney was in Manhattan when she “suffered a fainting spell” during the public appearance just 10 days ago.
