Lawsuit could affect Homan?s raise

At least two Baltimore County lawmakers are questioning a proposed 23 percent raise for a top official facing allegations he fired an employee who caught him engaged in an office affair.

Councilman Bryan McIntire, R-District 3, said he was “disappointed” officials did not disclose a $1 million lawsuit filed by a former employee alleging administrative officer Fred Homan fired her after she disrupted an “awkward scene” with a female county attorney. The council is scheduled Monday to approve Homan?s appointment ? and his $36,000 raise ? but McIntire said the vote could be postponed.
