Generous pensions for judges survive cuts to other state workers

While the governor and legislature this year raised what state workers and teachers pay into their pension plans 
and cut benefits for future employees, the state’s most generous retirement plan survived completely 
unscathed – the pensions for judges. The 351 retired judges (or their spouses) get an average pension of $68,000 a year, 
and 113 of the judges, who must retire at 70, can also earn up to a third of the annual salary by continuing to 
process cases around the state.

Monday's roundup has all the stories on state government since Friday

Anti-DREAM act petitioners say they have bi-partisan support; Maryland could ban crib bumper pads; despite the high 
from the Preakness, horse racing’s future in Maryland still looks grim even to its biggest supporter in Annapolis — Mike Miller; 
Maryland’s private sector jobs grow; Washington Times writes lengthy piece about Ehrlich keeping his hand in politics, 
while the Daily Kos calls it out as a puff piece for failing to mention Ehrlich’s campaign problems; Mikulski to work 
toward electing more women to Congress; prosecutors open treasure trove of documents in Jack Johnson probe; 
and Arundel cuts $19 million from budget.
