Baltimore County Council Approves Significant Pay Raises for Officials
What happened
The Baltimore County Council is expected to vote on Monday to raise the county administrative officer’s salary by 18 percent, bringing it to over $310,000 annually. Last week, the council approved a 73 percent pay hike for the next county council, which will be sworn in in December, raising their pay to nearly $120,000. David Marks and Nino Mangione voted against the council pay raise last week.
