He is on the Alcoholic and Other Drug Dependency Advisory Board at Johns Hopkins University Hospital. Finally, he is a co-founder of the Broadway Development Foundation.
Young created controversy when he said that "it should be required that all top-level people live in the city", referring to a report by the Baltimore Examiner that most Baltimore City police commanders don't live in the city.[1]
Young, who is well known for his keen sense of style and dress,[citation needed] is often viewed as a potential candidate for citywide office.[citation needed] He currently chairs the Budget and Appropriations Committee and also chairs the Public Safety and Health Committee.[2]
