County Pays $100K Amid Murray Scandal

Baltimore County just paid $100,000 to the lawyer of Patrick Murray, former chief of staff to ex-County Executive Johnny Olszewski, despite an independent report finding evidence of his misconduct. The payment came after a lawsuit over Murray allegedly trying to interfere with an investigation into special treatment for a developer. Though a judge recently ordered all records unsealed, the damning report and settlement terms remain hidden — sparking outrage over secrecy and accountability. County officials give conflicting reasons for the secrecy, while the former chief of staff now holds a top role in Frederick County. The Inspector General who led the original probe assumed everything would be public — but the truth is still locked away. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
