Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, a Democrat, will take an indefinite leave of absence — but still collect her $185,000 a year salary — due to her “deteriorating” health.
The Baltimore Sun reported Monday evening that the mayor would be taking leave after coming under fire over the past month for a scandal in which the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) struck a deal with Pugh worth $500,000 for copies of the mayor’s children’s book, which now sit in a warehouse, undistributed.
