Legislative pay

Pay and benefits for elected officials have been on the minds of many lately, and a lot of folks are upset by the issue.

The folks over at Maryland Politics Watch have an interesting take on “The real scandal of legislative pay” in Maryland — it’s too low.

They also have an interesting post on which legislators in Maryland are “Too rich for furloughs,” including Sen. Andy Harris, a Republican who represents the 7th District in Baltimore County.

Both posts make for interesting reading. Don’t forget to leave your thoughts about the posts, or pay and benefits for elected officials, in general, in our comments section.
