Wanted: long-term, skilled and dedicated staff in Baltimore’s City Hall

The recent revelation by Baltimore’s inspector general that a city employee had been double-dipping for months — working jobs for the Mayor’s Office and the city school system simultaneously (a circumstance made possible by COVID-19 related telework rules) — would be comical, if not for the serious context. Inspector General Isabel Mercedes Cumming’s report arrived the day after it was revealed Mayor Brandon Scott had ousted his chief of staff and communications director.
