Glendening Promises Smaller, Cheaper Maryland Staff
Gov elect Parris Glendening proposed raises for a top tier of aides but pledged a smaller, less costly personal staff than outgoing Gov William Donald Schaefer. He aims to run government like a business with a board chair role and four deputies. The nine initial appointees come mostly from state government and Prince George’s County, with diversity in race, gender, and geography. Bonnie Kirkland will head the legislative office, a role she now holds under Schaefer.
