Hans Riemer's Wife Works For Pfizer and they have more than $50,000 in stock

Anonymous
Montgomery County council member Hans Riemer has sponsored a bill mandating that all county employees be vaccinated. This goes beyond the current, bargained agreement where employees must be vaccinated or get tested weekly.

The unions are having a fit over this bill since it contravenes their bargained agreements with the county. So they are posting this now on twitter.

Hans Riemer is up to a lot worse than this fake scandal.

IF there is Pfizer stock, it's no 50K. Add a zero but no matter, a lot of people w/o a PF connection are making these same decisions.

I own $0 in Pfizer stock (as far as I know), and I support the vaccine requirement for county employees.

Not sure which is more cringe:
The fact that you think this nothingburger is a “scandal,” or the fact that you think $50K is a lot of money.

For normal people, not DCUM, it is.

Agree - nothingburger. $50k is small fry next to the money involved in Thrive.

Wow all the people thinking 50k is pocket change are welcome to wire that amount to my bank tomorrow! 50k is a ton to have tied up in one stock and yes, does present a conflict of interest.

It is not. Not in this case, and I've never made over $50k a year. It was a pathetic amount of stock to mention the minute I read it.

Riemer is a slimeball, but this ain't it.

The county should have a vaccine mandate for employees.

Hans Riemer should recuse from this bill, just like the should recuse from all landlord-tenant bills and many planning bills because he is a landlord.

In the federal government, this would probably be a criminal conflict of interest. We need stronger ethics laws in the county.

Respectfully, this is it. It's possible he's done things that are worse, but this is bad enough.
