Reply to comment by Kooky_Deal9566 in Pension for Baltimore City council members by 2468975

Is there any other job you can do for 8 or 12 years and have a pension for life? If these positions don’t offer such a compelling financial benefit then maybe self-serving individuals wouldn’t be interested and people who want to better their community would be in these positions instead.

Maybe, or maybe only already wealthy individuals who wanted to used the position to further empower and enrich themselves would take it.

But probably not.

Nah during their 2nd term they know they won’t be beholden to the people. They won’t face any political consequences so they’ll be free to do any crummy little thing during their 2nd terms.
