Kaiser Permanente paid Catherine Pugh $114,000 for copies of her books from 2015 to 2018. In 2017, the city’s spending board, which Pugh controls, awarded Kaiser a $48 million contract for insurance for city employees, the Baltimore Sun reports.
Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh is going on a leave of absence after becoming engulfed in a scandal about a series of children’s books she authored.
Pugh initially called the investigation into her deal with the UMMS a “witch hunt,” but has refunded $100,000 to the medical system. Pugh’s office put out a statement Monday afternoon saying she would be taking time off for health reasons: Pugh's political career began in 1999 when she won election to the City Council. After serving in the state Legislature and rising to the post of Senate majority leader, she clinched the mayoral office by winning 37 percent in the 2016 Democratic primary.
