Reply to comment by kelzbeano in Why are we not even discussing recalling Nick Mosby? by buckeyebaby

The voters should be able to recall you if you’re not doing your job and you’re blatantly doing unethical shit. Nick Mosby tried to screw over the taxpayer and make it easier to qualify for cushy government pensions. He’s solicited donations via a gofundme for his wife’s mortgage fraud case and then lied and said he would return the funds, now he’s dragging out an ethics trial. He’s bad at his job and he’s not looking out for the interests of the voters so the voters should be able to fire him. Facts are facts even if they’re coming from Fox45.

I would have much preferred if the recall and term limit amendments was a grassroots campaign and not from corporate interests that use their media platform to constantly rile citizens up. Then go “see this is why we need these reforms.” Does Sinclair Broadcasting really care about Baltimore city or its own interests and biases?

Again, not a fan of Mosby but I didn’t care about the pension issue. With term limits, it seemed inevitable. They’re going to have to tackle the issue of future members not receiving a pension at some time.

No, no they won't. They can do 8 years on city council and move into other places in the government to finish their 2 to get vested...or 22 more to retire. Fuck them. Serve the public for your pension, same as the rest of us.

Most of us don’t even have access to pensions. It’s a huge government benefit and they’re expensive to fund. Making a comprehensive plan concerning the pensions including a financial impact analysis would’ve been one thing, but to try to shove this through without even looking at the impact on the taxpayer shows that Nick isn’t even looking out for us anymore. And that’s the whole job.
