Reply to comment by Admirable_Story_5063 in Baltimore City Board of Ethics says new pension bill presents conflict of interest by contra_account
Yuuuuup - welcome to the actual truth to term limits and limiting office pensions! People get won over by “oh term limits are good, gets rid of the bad ones quicker!” and “this is so corrupt!” but then they forget about what the actual macro impact is.
Similarly why you should never take at face value folks who push for Congress to not get pay during a government shutdown: it just puts pressure on lower income & lower wealth Congresspeople to break while those who are independently wealthy can afford to wait it out.

I'm kinda deciding my budget based on the recommendations. These are definitely more than I was expecting, but I hadn't done much research either.

Is there something inherently wrong with the building? Is it full of asbestos or something?

I was about to say “only really rich people” is ridiculous but I didn’t realize until now that most of them only get 76k, which is trash pay in Baltimore for that sort of position. Nick Mosby, however, gets $131k, and it appears that he gets a vehicle leased by the city for personal use.

Most of it? No. Seems like Odette Ramos does a lot to help locals, though, even outside her district.

with a credit union they might intend to service the loan themselves instead of transferring it after closing.

Baltimore’s had a bad rap for a while, but I’ve never seen crime like this until this year. Idk what’s going on but it is not usually like this.

Soooo at this point only really rich people will be able to serve in the local office. I’m sure term limits on the legislative branch and the fucking comptroller will have positive affects on the city /s.
Baltimore loves taking one step forward and then 10 steps backwards.

I've had internet only for the last 5 years. I don't think they still offer the plan I'm on, but I pay $108.95 for 1Gb/30Mb

Honestly, do we really need the City Council?

Reply to comment by octosquink in Any companies/management people actually tolerate renting from? by JT_2005
My internet research seems to indicate BPM uses a bunch of independent contractor type of property managers and is an umbrella org for that.... Once you see how big a geographic area they cover, it's not really a surprise. So I get the sense your experience with them may vary widely based on the actual property management folks you get. We live in one of their properties in Canton, and they've been good for us but I get the sense that may vary by neighborhood/who is contracted or assigned in your area.

They could install gold seats and the 1962 Civic Center would still be a POS.

Charles St a one-lane road with a dedicated Public Transit lane sounds like an improvement to me.

I think part of the joy of them is that you can go to see ALL of them at once. We have a lot of nice free museums already.

Thanks for the question! We'll definitely discuss effects on the brain and issues around driving under the influence arising from this.

Thanks everyone, I’m thinking I’ll go for it. Worst case it’s only a year. Because of my timing it’s this or a rowhouse to make due with in Hampden.
