The big problem is, for most (if not all) of these city council people, the city council salary is better than they've ever made, or basically the best they could do. Some (again, nearly all) have only worked for the govt and have zero experience outside gov jobs. This includes the mayor. Also, Dorsey, Cohen, Torrance, Costello, and a whole bunch of others.

The effects are obvious with the way the mayor and council operate. A lot of grandstanding and meaningless sound bites with rather little substance.

Can you point me to something that says "nearly all" of city elected officials have never held jobs outside of government? And to be clear you're specifically asserting Dorsey, Cohen, and Costello have never held jobs outside of government?

Pretty sure Dorsey worked at the family business, Soundscape.

You think $75k is the best they could do? After all the connections they make from being a councilperson?

I mean their actual skills of they had not been a council person.

Most Baltimore City council people are incredibly untalented and have never had a significant non gov job.
