Re: Proposed #OIGHoCo
FTA: "@isabel_cumming & Kelly Madigan, the inspectors general for @OIG_Baltimore & @OIG_Balt_County, respectively, are expected to appear in support of @LizWalshHoCoD1's bill at the first [@HoCoCouncil] public hearing on July 15."

Councilwoman proposes inspector general’s office for Howard County, says it would ‘build trust in our government’ https://t.co/W1o411Q1lH

[IG Allies @ig_allies]

@CommonCauseMD ☝Of special note from this article:
"@LizWalshHoCoD1 said the [Inspector General] legislation was created using 2 OIGs as models: @OIG_Baltimore @isabel_cumming AND @OIG_Balt_County Kelly Madigan."

[Common Cause Maryland @CommonCauseMD]

"People's trust in government is probably at an all-time low… This institution [Office of the Inspector General] can restore a sense of community and public good.

If approved, Howard County will become the fifth jurisdiction with an inspector general.” https://t.co/2cVcSlWSvI

@BaltimoreBrew @JohnnyOJr @BaltCoExec @CouncilmanIzzy FTA: "Req'd to disclose such payments to the county council, the [@BaltCoExec @JohnnyOJr] administration recorded the check as going to 'Philip Dough' rather than to Philip Tirabassi, according to [Fred] Homan." 👀

[Baltimore Brew @BaltimoreBrew]

The @JohnnyOJr administration seeks $200,000 more -on top of $350,000 already allocated - in battle over public information records on a secret payment made to a retired firefighter. https://t.co/TZ11CQuaeK

[David Plymyer @dplymyer]

@Jsilbe3 @BaltimoreBrew @CouncilmanIzzy 31-24 is a major piece of legislation with a signif economic impact. Normally, such legislation is vetted for compliance with fed, state and county law when drafted. Why shouldn't public know who vetted this bill for compliance with the charter? Isn't that what accountability is?
