Legislation overhauls Maryland medical network's board ABC News

Maryland's governor signed fast-tracked legislation Thursday to overhaul a major medical network's board of directors following revelations of numerous questionable financial arrangements involving board members, including Baltimore's mayor.

Mayor Catherine Pugh, who joined the volunteer board in 2001, has become the public face of the University of Maryland Medical System's "self-dealing" scandal. Beginning in 2011, Pugh somehow sold $500,000 worth of her self-published children's books to the $4 billion hospital network. And as an influential state senator before becoming mayor in 2016, Pugh had sponsored and co-sponsored several bills that would've benefited the regional system.

But Baltimore's No. 1 official wasn't the only member who had a lucrative relationship with UMMS: One third of the more than two dozen board members received significant compensation through the network's murky arrangements with their businesses, ranging from pest control to insurance and management consultation.
