Baltimore County Council approves DEI study after initial questions over cost

The Baltimore County Council this week agreed to spend more than $280,000 in COVID relief money on an 18-month equity assessment of county government that council members had questioned just one week earlier. Sevetra Peoples-Brown, Baltimore County’s chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer, told the council the equity assessment will establish a baseline on how the county is doing and where it can improve equitable decision making.
