THE DEVIL'S WORKDAY It may be days before Oh Metro! gets around to another update, so allow me to highlight a Washington Post editorial pointing out that Prince George's County, Maryland, pays Marcell Solomon, one of its representatives to the Metro Board as much as $100,000 a year -- nearly five times the stipend paid to Metro board members from other jurisdictions. The other members' annual compensation ranges from nothing to $22,000. ... Making the financial arrangement all the more curious, Mr. Solomon is actually an alternate member of the board who can act only when the voting member from Prince George's, Charles Deegan, is absent. Mr. Deegan was named to the job by Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) and as a gubernatorial appointee receives a stipend of $22,000 a year.Others make nothing at all. I'm tempted to say that I'm in the wrong line of work, but so apparently is Charles Deegan. I could also say, nice work if you can get it -- but something tells me Marcell Solomon is about to lose it. Fortunately, there's another cliché to fall back on: Enjoy it while it lasts. |
