This suburb spends more than $110,000 a year on cars for its lawmakers

The Prince George’s County government spends more than $110,000 a year on automobile allowances and take-home cars for county council officials, a perk that goes far beyond what is offered in neighboring jurisdictions.

All nine council members and the council’s two top administrators are either assigned a government vehicle or paid a yearly car allowance.

Between 2011 and 2016, council members driving take-home cars were involved in at least 15 collisions, including a major crash Nov. 21 that resulted in the arrest of council member Mel Franklin (D-Upper Marlboro) on drunken-driving charges.

They also received at least 107 speeding, missed-toll and parking citations, according to public records provided to The Washington Post.

    Prince George's is not a suburb, really. I lived and worked for PG for years. It's bigger than baltimore if counted as a whole. I'm not defending it, just saying it's not like a swanky suburb as one would think of.
