Embattled Howard County auditor removed from watchdog post, replaced by deputy, councilmember says

Howard County’s longtime auditor, who faced opposition earlier this year for a report that critics said exceeded his authority and unfairly probed a historically Black sorority, is no longer in office. The county’s council, which appoints the local government’s auditor, had “decided to move in a different direction” from Craig Glendenning, who has held the locality’s watchdog post for 11 years, District 2 Councilmember Opel Jones said Sunday.
