Review Of Marilyn Mosby's Travel Leads To New City Workgroup
Baltimore City leaders will review policies around travel for elected officials after an investigation into the state's attorney.
BALTIMORE, MD — Baltimore city leaders will form a workgroup to review the city’s policies regarding rules for travel by elected officials, Mayor Brandon Scott’s office said Thursday. The 90-day workgroup is tasked with clarifying how trips by elected officials are approved as well as rules around time off for employees who are not on a full-time schedule and procedures around trips not involving taxpayer money. The group will include the city administrator, solicitor, human resources director and finance director.
“Establishing this work group is about proactively working toward clarity around travel and notification policy for all public officials once and for all,” Scott said in a news release. “Our administrative manual is not regularly updated and could benefit from a comprehensive assessment. I have asked this group to convene and present recommendations that remove any ambiguity in these processes for greater transparency and accountability moving forward.”
