Indicted Bromwell to get $400k for no work

The indicted former state senator accused of taking bribes has agreed to step down as head of the Injured Workers Insurance Fund at the end of the year, the public-private corporation said Tuesday.

Thomas Bromwell will receive two years of his $200,000 salary as president and chief executive officer in the separation agreement between the former Baltimore County politician and the organization?s board. Bromwell, who will stand trial against federal racketeering charges in March, has lead the largest writer of worker?s compensation insurance in Maryland since April 2002.
