Anne Arundel County Council members are on a seafood diet. When they see food, they bill it -- to taxpayers.
Council members may hold jobs and services in their claws, but that didn’t stop them from spending more than $1,100 on crabs and booze at a waterfront Annapolis restaurant -- just hours after approving a slashed budget with 12-day worker furloughs.
The council signed off on the budget, which cut workers’ pay and county services, then headed on down to Mike's Crab House, where they spent $1,169 on a seafood feast, which they charged to a county credit card, according to the Baltimore Sun. When found out, the folks responsible for the county’s math lamely said they used the card to avoid having to work out who owed what on the massive bill, and that they had planned to pay it back all along.

So A/R County, show us the deposit tickets from the bank today where you deposited the money collected from each person!?
Bet ya can't!!!
Public masters, not public servants anymore....revolution (or as Lou Dobbs has suggested, a military coup) is the ONLY answer...our forefathers would be aghast at what our government has become and disgusted at what our citizenry puts up with....tell those workers who have to go home and tell their families we can't pay the rent this month and we are eating eggs for dinner tonight that their bosses went to a $1100 seafood dinner...its a wonder of our society that they aren't hanged in public...
You sure this wasn't in Somerset County? LOL I guess they just want to run with the big dogs (hogs)
At least they turned in a receipt on the reimbursement form which is more the Ted Shea does. He attaches his credit card statement and gets reimbursed. No idea what the detail is.
Annon: 6:10 You think anyone from here would spend that much money on crabs. You got to be kidding me. You must not know many people from Somerset county.
