MarylandReporter.com analyzed overtime payments in a database from the Maryland Comptroller’s Office as part of its third annual state government salaries series.

Government workers who got paid overtime had total earnings of up to $160,000 annually, though only 212 out of tens of thousands of employees making overtime made more than $100,000 total from the state. That is about 4% of the 5,663 employees who earned $100,000 or more in 2012.

This is not a democrate/republican problem. This ia greed and waste. When a business hires just enough people to creates overtime on taxpayers money it's pure greed and waste. Nepotism and favoritism is the motivating factor in overtime. Let's be honest about it.
