Council Votes for 30% Pay Raise | Annapolis News

Anne Arundel County Council just approved a 30% pay raise for its members, with salaries incrementally rising each December starting in 2026—chair’s salary jumping from $58,400 to $67,400 by 2029. Despite being labeled part-time, councilors often work over 40 hours weekly, and the raise comes amid criticism that they were underpaid compared to peers in similar counties. Three members voted against it, calling the increase irresponsible given county financial pressures. The session also tackled condemning Patriot Front as a white nationalist group and revisiting the zoning code after 20 years. Next up: September 21st.
