Pay Raises For Governor, Legislators In The Works, As Revenues Improve Slightly

Salary hikes for Maryland’s next governor, members of the General Assembly and other statewide officials elected next year are set to be decided next week by two compensation commissions specially appointed for this task.

None of these officials have had pay hikes since 2006, and the legislature rejected recommendations from these same commissions four years ago to increase the salaries slightly.

    Sounds like the Sheriff of Nottingham to me...!

  3. Where are the people who come on this site and say "if you don't like your minimum wage job, quit and get a better job?"
    I say the same thing to these bribe taking, payoff accepting, kickback soliciting, lying, cheating, thieving, nonrepresenting slugs. Hit the road jack. You are max'ed out on the public dole.

  4. These idiots should only get pay increases when voted on by the tax payers. Just about everyone else has had pay decreases over the past 5 years. Just ask any business owner. All those in government should have taken pay decreases, as well.

    What a crock!
