Thank you, Baltimore City, for overwhelmingly voting for Questions I- the Independence for Office of Inspector General! The Baltimore City Charter Amendment Article X received the highest vote, with 86% in the election. Independence fosters accountability, transparency, and integrity in government, providing the Office with subpoena powers to undertake investigations without political influence or pressure. The Inspector General shall serve a 6-year term and can only be appointed or removed by members of the Independent Advisory Board.
