Pay raises spark political peril in Maryland legislature
Maryland's new 450 percent pay raise for legislators triggers criticism as the Mandel commission sets salaries at 11,000 plus a 25 daily stipend for 90-day sessions. Voters fear automatic implementation and cost to taxpayers before hidden executive-branch action. News reveals that 14 lawmakers employ wives on the state payroll, including three from Frederick, prompting protests over nepotism while Governor Mandel defends cabinet-style discretion.
