I would still argue it’s better than giving former officer holders absolutely no pension. It also might not be legal for them to amend the size of their own pensions - I know for Congress, when they change their pay rates, it takes effect for the next Congress not the current.

Plus, what’s being missing in all the analysis here on Reddit is it’s changing it from 12 years to 8 years. It’s a reduction of a single term, and aligns with the new term limits.

Overall, it’s people freaking out over something that’s logical and not super corrupt, and that freak out only plays into the hands of those trying to further fuck up our government.

There is parking basically attached to Ramshead. Go in the back of Ramshead building. Yes, you probably have to cut through The Block a little. Avert your eyes. The elevator in the garage puts you into Ramshead. I go to 50 plus concerts a year all over. It is safe in there. Highly recommend Underground Pizza next to Ramshead.

To say that this project promotes the continuation of landfills is like saying paying someone to pick up cigarette butts off the street promotes smoking. The gas is there already. They have to burn it already to convert it into CO2. It's simply a way to capture waste and pollution that would have been there anyway. This is a county run landfill it is not profitable

If you've already called 911 about this and your landlord is aware that this person is living in your building (whether or not he's on a lease), I'd think about what your preferred resolution is here, because it sounds like either you should move or this couple should. It's possible that a peace order will be helpful in this, but I wouldn't look at it as a solution in and of itself.

I'll add my experience just as an FYI. I have gone twice on a weeknight recently but on the later side (7:45-8pm). Both times I was told that the wait would be 45 minutes. Both times I went over to WC Harlan to have a drink while I waited. Both times Clavel actually called me 10-15 minutes later and I had to scramble to pay my tab for the drink and get back over to Clavel. If you go at this time (around 8) you can just put your name in and it's only about a 10-15 minute wait.

I first read it that way, too, but I think the commenter you're replying to was only saying that he hopes that they're only attempting to get away with these crimes until we reach a point where the crimes will be punished adequately to limit them. Not that they're trying to get away with them because they're currently aware of the transition to a new state's attorney.

I'm also not confident that much will be done to limit the amount of crime that's being committed by teens as young as 13, it seems, in a more immediate way.

You have to take your daughter to Vaccaro's in Little Italy for their gelato and sweets. Patisserie Poupon is across the street from Ramshead (take the Metro underpass). You'll be in the Inner Harbor area so there's lots of stuff for kids - the Aquarium is great, Visionary Arts Museum... you'll be fine in the harbor area, it's very touristy.

I try to point people to the story of the guys that robbed a "cop bar" type restaurant in like 2017. Most of the stuff you see around Baltimore isn't like some well thought out mission impossible. People are impulsive and/or desperate. And you'll get a person or a small group of people that commit the same crimes with the same m.o. like 4 times in a row in a span of 24 hours. For the most part they're not like slipping in and out of the shadows between police shifts or calculating the hours until a new states attorney takes office.

I’m in the county and have 400mps for $89.99 a month. Internet only. Give them a call and say you want to only have internet and they might give you a decent deal or they’ll let you downgrade to internet only.
