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.
https://apps.montgomerycountymd.gov/ccllims/BillDetailsPage?RecordId=2725 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. https://twitter.com/UFCW1994/status/1444407213624287234 https://www.mcgeo.org/email-archive/?email_id=252 How can he not disclose this? |
| Who cares? He’s make the same recommendation if he held no stock. This is a stupid ad hominem attack |
| $50k? So, nothing? |
Exactly. $50K is minor amount. |
| That’s great for them! Btw if you are trying to do an expose…. Lame. |
| 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. |
