Baltimore County Councilwoman Cathy Bevins

The office has been the target of criticism in the past by members of the council and the administration.

William "Chris" McCollum, 52, of Timonium, previously served as deputy director of economic development for Baltimore County and was a familiar figure in local Democratic Party politics.

The Office of the State Prosecutor announced Thursday longtime Democratic politico Chris McCollum is charged with multiple counts of felony theft scheme, embezzlement and perjury.

Olszewski says Inspector General Madigan has his full confidence.

A majority of the council is in favor of restrictions.

Council Chairman Jones sees no need to clarify charter over how a council member can be removed.

Councilman Crandell: “I don’t get it.”

She cites her health and a hostile social media, not her residency controversy for why she is not running again.

Commission tasked with reviewing inspector general's office has not yet met.

Bevins is awaiting a decision from the county attorney over whether she violated the county charter.
