Marvin James Leaves City for Consulting Firm | Annapolis News

Marvin James, once the mayor’s chief of staff, has quietly pivoted from public service to a lucrative private consulting gig — earning $198K while allegedly misusing city vehicles for personal trips, including D.C. campaign events, Vegas conventions, and lavish farewell parties paid for by taxpayers. His new firm, Martin-Lauer Associated, LLC, has already received over $77K from the mayor’s campaign — and James’ exit was reportedly planned months in advance, raising alarms about transparency and accountability. With city officials quietly turning to this same firm and no clear answers from the mayor’s office on job roles or spending, taxpayers are demanding answers — and wondering if this was ever truly about public service.
