Voters: I insist that we introduce term limits!
Also voters: how dare my votes result in consequences?!

No one gets their full salary as their pension, but do they get this pension immediately after 8 years or after turning 65? That does make a difference for sustainability.

You can call the Mayor's office as well, and speak to a staff member. I've done it.

Yeah you’re probably right. I hardly know enough about tax assessment here to know. tax exempt orgs sitting on vacants is a separate and remarkable problem, too.

Reply to As someone new to the area and wanting to get into hiking, any recommendations on where to start and what trails to pursue (with car park)? Also shoe recommendations would be great. Woman with a bit of flat feet here. by BeyondRecovery1
I have skechers hiking boots which I bought in a pinch after more expensive ones (very beat up) fell apart mid-hiking-focused vacation. Luckily there was an outlet mall with a skechers store about an hour away from where I was. Shockingly, I have loved them as my hiking boots. Definitely had some break in time but they're SO well priced I have recommended them to many people who are casual hikers.

Reply to Sick of a neighbor or two dumping dog poop bags in my trash bin. I haven’t caught who it is yet and it almost always happens on trash days. by BeyondRecovery1
My advice? Get over it.
I’ve had people put all sorts of shit in my can. I’ve also had people literally shit on the steps approaching my house, and throw litter all over the ground in front of my house
If you’re in the city, just be happy than you don’t have worse going on.
Also, maybe petition govt to put in a trash can somewhere. I’ve definitely walked with dog’s poop for like 35 min through residential areas without finding anywhere for dog’s poop

They’re just speaking the truth. If there’s an 8 year term limit, then this is what was going to happen.

It still pisses me off how they can take from those who put their lives on the line to put into their own pocket as if Baltimore doesn’t have a problem keeping those positions already. The more I see the more I think of the wire as a documentary instead of tv show

John Brown has 2 locations, 1 in the city and 1 in the county. That makes you sound like the idiot. Take a deep breath, you sound pretty wound up, we’re just discussing a butcher, christ.

>Aren’t our elected officials supposed to do this for us too?
Well it really depends on what voters are asking of them. I'd certainly like them to expand worker rights and benefits. But that doesn't seem to be popular enough in this country. As I said, people are more interested in tearing down benefits for others than organizing for better conditions for all.
IMO the Fire/EMS pension vote should have been a loser that threw people out of office, but obviously our populace doesn't care that much about first responders getting good benefits given it was a politically inconsequential vote. That sucks and I disagree with it, but I'm clearly in the minority.

Specifically Wednesdays. Also, eat-in only Wednesdays, no carry-out. Worth it, though.

Ok...yea that's what I thought. That it would be vested and then calculated based on time in, not the full pension. Because one of the articles seemed to suggest that they could supplement their time in by getting a job in city government, which wouldn't be necessary if they got the full pension after 8 years.

Can confirm. Also my go-to spot. The Herring Run bridge works, too, if you'd rather cry with an audience.

They get 2.5% of their highest salary x years served, and if elected after 2016 it's capped at 60% of their highest salary.
The pension for someone who ran for council, stayed on until they were term limited at 8 years, and retired would be about $15k annually. So anyone trying to use it as a get rich quick scheme as implied by folks in this thread would be...bad at getting rich quick? There are better ways to make money.

Aren’t our elected officials supposed to do this for us too? But as demonstrated here, they vote that police should work 5 years longer to qualify for pension and they should work 4 years less. I agree, corporate America has issues. That is why we need elected officials who give a crap about us and not just themselves.

I’m glad we’re having this conversation. I took it to mean 8 years full pension because when the police pension was revised, they said it changed from 20 to 25 years. That is for the full pension. Nobody talked about their partial pension after 10 years. We definitely need clarification of this point.

My personal go to for small wood fired pizza with top shelf ingredients is Verde. You pay for it for sure but so worth it.
