Kelly Madigan is Baltimore County’s first Inspector General, tasked with sniffing out waste and fraud in County government. Since taking office in 2020, she’s earned bipartisan praise from the County Council and in April, she was named “Fraud Fighter of the Year” by the Maryland chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
But County Executive Kathy Klausmeier did not reappoint Madigan to another four-year term, a move that caught many by surprise, including Madigan herself.
Last night, the County Council voted to reject Klausmeier’s nominee, Khadija Walker, a former federal government auditor from Fredericksburg.
WYPR reporter John Lee followed every twist and turn in this story, and joins Midday to discuss the latest move.
