Time to end Balt. County Council's 'what's in it for me' attitude
By Steve Bailey and Joe Seehusen
The Sun deserves our thanks for shedding light on the controversial pension plan that will pay Baltimore County Councilman Vincent J. Gardina $54,000 a year for the rest of his life. Next year, Mr. Gardina, age 54, will be eligible to collect a pension equal to 100 percent of his salary. If the actuaries are correct, Baltimore County taxpayers can expect to pay Councilman Gardina more than $1,000,000 over the next 20 years. Not a bad perk for a part-time job.
