Episode Details

Baltimore’s city government is locked in a legal standoff with its own watchdog, the Office of Inspector General, over subpoenas and document access — with the city asking a judge for clarity on what info it must turn over and by when. The Inspector General, Isabel Cumming, is pushing back against city efforts to restrict investigations and control information flow, while critics like David Williams call the city’s moves a delay tactic designed to avoid compliance. At stake: whether the Inspector General must follow Maryland’s public records law — a point a judge previously ruled against the city on. With 49 open subpoenas and potential taxpayer costs looming, this battle could reshape how local oversight works — and how long it takes to get answers.
