I wonder if MOM is on welfare yet? I'm pretty sure his Unemployment Benefits have run out.

****Martin has his pension(s) so it's not like he has no income coming in. He probably has more money coming in than most people who work for a living it's just his expenses are very high and he seems to be a fiscal/financial idiot. Plenty of people around here with six figure incomes but little to no net worth. Look how he ran Maryland - he likes to spend money - preferably other people's money..

He's STILL spending other people's money - ours through his pension plan. And what kind of bullsh*t is this that a politician gets a pension for being in office?

Perfectly legal, of course. Possibly you can persuade the General Assembly to change this in the next session.

Or possibly not.

You might be onto something.

The GA should replace all of the pensions with 401Ks like everyone else. Its very rare to see pensions outside of government in todays society.

No whats BS is they get their pension fully vested day 1. :mad54:

Why the hell do ANY elected officials get a pension?

They serve at the pleasure of the electorate, for a stated term. It's not supposed to be a fricking career with a vested pension. Jeez. Yeah, I know, the first was the President, because the US didn't want ex-Presidents to live in poverty, but since then public "service" at all levels of government has become a way to obtain and achieve wealth and power, with a cherry on top -- a pension.. It's utter nonsense.

We've been letting the politicians get away with murder for far too long, and now we're stuck with a pile of corpses.

Pile of corpses - yea, the American taxpayer...

They'll do that at the same time they put term limits in place. Just more plundering of the taxpayers.

From MarylandReporter.com in Dec 2013:

While bringing some of the provisions of legislative pensions in line with those for regular state employees and teachers, the commission left intact the more generous pensions for members of the General Assembly.

The senators and delegates earn pensions worth 3% of the salary of current members for every year of service, capped at two-thirds of salary after 22 years and three months of service. They are entitled to some retirement benefits after eight years (two terms) in office.

Employees earn pensions worth 1.5% per year, but with no cap. Employees hired before 2012 are vested after five years of service; newer employees are vested after 10 years.

But unlike state employees, who receive pensions based on their lifetime earnings and any cost of living adjustments, legislative pensions go up based on the current salaries of legislators. This means that retired legislators would also see their retirement pay go up 16% from 2015 to 2018.

There are currently 174 retired legislators with an average age of 74 who get an average pension of $17,376 per year. There are 57 people receiving survivor benefits as spouses or dependent children averaging $9,200 a year.

The average salary for current state employees is $47,030 and about 41,000 retired state workers receive an average pension of $12,000 a year.

According to the briefing documents on pensions, 28 members of the current legislature with an average age of 69 are already entitled to the maximum pension of $29,145 a year. That will go up to $37,000 in 2018. Of the 188 members of the House and Senate, 115 currently have at least eight years of service, and are vested in pensions.

From the same source:

Governors who complete one full four-year term are entitled to one-third of the salary of a sitting governor. After two full four-year terms, they get half the salary of the current governor.

In 2013, the Governor's salary was $165,000, scheduled to rise by $5,000 every year. Hogan will be making $180,000 in 2018. We'll be paying O'Malley $90,000.

Pensions are incentives for people to stay in office.

We need people who are already successful, want to accomplish something to do "public service" and then return to the private economy.

It's time to kick out Maryland's career politicians before we stack up any more dead wood.

How about Miller and/or Busch for starters?

redeemed.man · Nov 29, 2016

Had to do it. I can't stand this guy.

Uncle Duke · Nov 29, 2016

Nothing short of a travesty. One of many in this state.

O'Malley should be paying restitution rather than collecting a pension.

He can wash my car for 10.10 an hour. For 15 dollars an hour he can scrub my toilet. Being the piece of crap that he is he should know his way around a toilet!

Today, America maintains the largest immigrant interment camps of any nation in the free world.

Hold our immigrant neighbors close; hide and shelter them if you must.

"Let us all remember that net immigration from Mexico last year was zero. In other words, more people left the U.S. FOR Mexico, than came here FROM Mexico."

Um, I'm no theoretical physicist, but wouldn't it be negative then?

Maybe legal immigration was a net zero.
No one knows what the actual number of illegal immigrants is.
