Earlier in the week there was a post regarding Wicomico County Liquor Control Board Salaries:
The posted comment read like this:
Again, more misinformation. The Board Chair(Haemel) makes $3,500 per year and the other two members make $2,750 per year for their work. So obviously, they aren't in it for the money. The Govenor appointed them to do a job for the good of Wicomico Co. so they are doing it, without much real compensation and with a lot of slander from their fellow citizens. And unlike the Council, they cannot vote themselves a pay raise.

You know SBYnews always try to stay on top of the latest and greatest.
Well here you go. . . this will make for a good posting. . .it is the new salaries for Board Chairman - Stu Haemel, and other Liquor Board members including Allesi as authorized by Governor O'Malley:

It is interesting to see the Delegates who signed on to increasing the salaries to HB 112 - (http://mlis.state.md.us/2007RS/billfile/hb0112.htm).
If Haemel and Allesi are moonlighting - using the Liquor Dispensary treasurey - to their own financial benefit . . it is improper and ought not be allowed.
In light of the facts this system should be brought immediately to a public referendum. And in light of the authorities who issued the raises. . . I'm quite sure they'll concur when the public catches wind of their salary increases.

Someone needs to request the payroll information of the board. These increases go into effect only when a new term begins. By law, the sitting board can't benefit from this increase.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused by this post. The first reference is a veto letter from O'Malley. So this indicates there are/were no salary raises?
ReplyDeleteThere were raises by the SB not the HB. They were $6,000 and $5,000 respectively.
ReplyDeletethere is more compensation than you think or can read about, they don't work over 80 hours a year, like other boards around here the members are not always in attendence either
ReplyDeleteI thought they were volunteers and not paid. Now I wonder what they pay Alessi to run the Zoo Comission?
