Stunned that former Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson draws a $49,000-a-year pension after being convicted of extorting bribes, Del. Ron George, R-Arnold, is drafting a bill to change state pension laws.
George said his goal is to deny pensions to public officials who are convicted after they leave office to wrongdoing committed while in office.
"It got under my skin," George said of Johnson's ability to draw a pension, despite pleading guilty to federal charges of taking a bribe and trying to destroy evidence.
"He did not follow his oath of office, and if you are not going to follow your oath of office, you should not be allowed to benefit," George said.
Too little too late , good ole P.G. county. Forget the fence on the texas and arizona border , put it up around P.G. county , then we could either allow them out to play now and then or just plain nuke them.
