Baltimore County inspector general reform commission issues interim report with no recommendations

A highly anticipated interim report from Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr.’s inspector general reform commission that was made public Friday contains no recommendations about how to change the office. In the 168-page report, the Blue Ribbon Commission on Ethics and Accountability — which Olszewski appointed to revise bylaws surrounding the county’s Office of the Inspector General — describes results from an “ethical climate survey” of some county employees administered by the University of Baltimore’s Schaefer Center for Public Policy. Baltimore County has a $100,000 contract with the Schaefer Center to provide “administrative support” to the commission.
