Ethics Matters, Inc.

In an Executive Session at its meeting on Monday, August 21, the County Ethics Commission reviewed a complaint brought against a former County official and the former official’s response. Following the closed session review, the Ethics Commission announced it would investigate a number of allegations in the complaint. Included in the investigation are charges of conflict of interest (for holding or acquiring an interest of more than 51% in a business entity regulated by the official’s agency) and of failure to fill out the section of the financial disclosure form regarding interests held in property in Queen Anne’s County.


County Ethics Commission Meetings are open to the public, except when they are in Executive session. The minutes of their meetings, including the announcement of actions taken in Executive Session, are public record.
