Gardina no longer interested in Revenue Authority job
Councilman Vince Gardina says he considered applying to be the next chief executive of the county Revenue Authority but is now “no longer interested.”
“It’s a pretty interesting job with a lot of interesting possibilities,” said Gardina, who represents the 5th District, including Towson and Perry Hall.
George Hale, the current authority chief, announced last month that he was giving up his $149,000 per year job after 16 years to go back to teaching political science at a college in Pennsylvania.
Gardina said he was initially interested when he thought the authority was looking for a candidate with engineering experience. Gardina has a degree in environmental engineering.
“I like the potential to use the Revenue Authority in revitalization efforts,” Gardina said.
Gardina said he now understands that the authority is looking with someone with more of a management background.
“I’m not going to apply for it,” he said.
