Sabato –  are, like Dixon, Democratic officeholders:The new indictments issued last week in the City Hall corruption probe has many of Baltimore's political leaders impatient for resolution to a case that has spanned three years and left the city's reputation in limbo."Most people I talk to are saying 'Let's just get this over with,' " said Baltimore Del.
