Potential patronage abuse charge over court hiring plan
Edward T. Kreiner of the Maryland Classified Employees Association warns that moving selection and promotion of court workers under the judiciary could invite patronage abuses. He vows to push merit principles in any consolidation while Gov Mandel backs a constitutional amendment to unify Baltimore courts with a statewide fair-employment system for deputies and staff. Kreiner argues such a system would legitimize Maryland’s largest patronage program, urging protection under merit laws to prevent boss control over job security.
