Maryland State Prosecutor should investigate Baltimore County conduct

In a recent investigation into an alleged misuse of funds from Baltimore County’s Alley Reconstruction Program (ARP), Inspector General Kelly Madigan uncovered troubling conduct involving high-ranking county officials. Because she lacks the power to enforce consequences of her findings, the Office of the Maryland State Prosecutor should step in. The ARP program is intended for alleys in “residential, non-commercial” communities, but Madigan found that it was used to repair a private alley serving commercial properties in Towson.
