Lawmakers are considering giving Baltimore County?s administrative officer a 23 percent raise ? making him one of the county?s highest-paid employees ? while determining whether he?s even the right person for the job.

CountyExecutive Jim Smith has proposed boosting acting Administrative Officer Fred Homan?s salary from $154,000 to $190,000, making him the county?s second-highest-paid employee. Homan has been serving dual roles as the interim administrative officer and budget and finance director since November, but Smith has nominated Homan?s deputy, Keith Dorsey, to assume the latter position.
