Intergovernmental Compensation Research: I joined the Montgomery County Office of Legislative Oversight to conduct a study into both union represented and non-represented positions with several counties in and out of the Washington, DC Metro Area. The analysis included a breakdown of total compensation into the major cost drivers: salary, pension/retirement funds, and medical/dental coverage.
