ANNAPOLIS, Md. -
The Anne Arundel County Council is taking up several bills Tuesday night that would prevent taxpayers from footing the bill of large legal settlements.
It all stems from the legal issues facing County Executive John Leopold.
The first bill requires county council approval of large legal settlements.
The second bill allows the county attorney to pursue the recovery of damages from an employee.
Leopold is facing charges of misusing his security detail for personal and political tasks.
He goes to trial in January.
