Retired Judge Defends OIG Access | Baltimore News

Retired Judge Andre M. Davis is firing back at the city solicitor’s claim that the Maryland Public Information Act blocks the Inspector General from accessing city records, calling it a brand-new interpretation that never existed during his tenure as City Solicitor. Davis, who personally hired the current Inspector General, insists the watchdog office always had full, direct access to all records — including financial, medical, and personnel files — and that IT policies backed this cooperation. Now, with the city’s new solicitor, Ebony Thompson, arguing that the OIG’s access is legally restricted, Davis is lending powerful legal credibility to the Inspector General’s lawsuit, which seeks to uphold its authority to investigate fraud, waste, and abuse without obstruction.
