Health provider Kaiser Permanente paid Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh more than $100,000 to buy about 20,000 copies of her “Healthy Holly” children’s books during a period when the company was seeking a lucrative contract to provide health benefits to city employees.
Kaiser confirmed Monday to The Baltimore Sun that it paid approximately $114,000 for the books in multiple orders from 2015 to 2018.
Pugh, a Democrat, became mayor in December 2016. In September 2017, the city’s spending board, which Pugh sits on and controls, awarded the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States Inc. a $48 million contract to provide health insurance to city employees from 2018 through 2020, with options to renew. Pugh does not appear to have abstained from voting on the contract.
Pugh on Monday announced she would take a leave of absence for health reasons, in a statement she released after The Sun reported Kaiser’s payments to her.
Kaiser issued a series of written statements to The Sun, acknowledging the book deal but saying it had nothing to do with the company’s business with the city — which it said began in 1986.

That book thing is a great way for politicians to generate cash in a semi-concealed manner.
Didn’t Caliph Baraq make a lot of dough that way when he was in the Senate?
Is there a single Democrat alive that is not a crook?
Well.... not in this town!
Yes and Comey got his $10 million payoff that way too. What was McCabes payoff?
“Today the mayor announced she was taking a leave of absence for health reasons.:
Appears those health reasons were trauma brought about by repeated and vicious pummeling from an ugly stick.
Got to turn on the bright lights in all corners of City Hall and watch the cockroaches scratch for traction.
If they’re not they’re not trying !
I just saw over the weekend where it was said Michelle Obama’s book has sold around 10 to 12 million copies. How? Exactly who is buying this book? Does Soros have a warehouse full of these things??????????
Recalls Jim Wright’s book shenanigans.
SOP in a banana republic.
Make no mistake, that is indeed what the USA has become.
So, she goes on a leave of absence for health reasons? Sounds about right.
ALL LIBs are lunatics. All should take extended leaves for extensive mental health treatment.
Leave of absence for moral health reasons?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
