ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan today issued the following statement:
“It has recently come to light that the Maryland Environmental Service has a longstanding practice of paying large bonuses, expense reimbursements, and severance packages to its top executives. This is something no normal state-operated agency should or would ever grant.
“To be clear, I did not approve, recommend, or have any involvement whatsoever in any of these decisions made by the board of directors of MES with respect to the former director Roy McGrath or any other individual.
“The new acting director Charles Glass, who has been leading MES since June, has committed to conducting a top-to-bottom review of this entity’s operations, and has already taken steps to begin to address many of these structural problems.
“While it is the legislature's responsibility to do audits of MES, today I have directed the Department of Budget and Management to also immediately conduct its own audit of this independent agency.
“The current operating and oversight structure of MES was established by the General Assembly in 1993. Our intention is to work with the legislature in a bipartisan way on legislation to reform the governance and operations of MES in order to provide for stronger oversight by both the executive and legislative branches.”

ReplyDeleteUh oh. Bumky better CYA.
ReplyDeleteThe legislature has obviously been asleep or complicit. The governor has not been watching, preferring to do the Democrat dance in the RINO step.
ReplyDeleteEnvironmentalists have long controlled Maryland and partied on your tax dollars and control who builds and who don’t so this is so refreshing to hear.
ReplyDeletePlease provide the names of all on the Congressional and Senate oversight committees.
ReplyDeleteLook it up.
DeleteWhat did anyone expect? Not for profit or non profit always ends up top heavy.
ReplyDeleteThese are the same morons that try and put the Waterman and farmers out of business and want to see us riding bicycles while they ride in Limos and Govt issued Suburbans & Tahoes
ReplyDeleteRefur to the sign being displayed by the guy on the OC Boardwalk to see what Hogan is!
ReplyDeleteWell ya!
Delete3:24 spot on
ReplyDeleteYes MES and MDE are the same. Conflict of interest Hogie Boy. Name only.The whole bunch came from MDE years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhen operators and owners complained.
Didn't change a thing.
The democrat swamp is deep in MD. Has been for decades. It's too bad Hogan thought it would be more clever to bash the President every step of the way instead of getting on board and draining this swamp. The fraud and the money funneling going on in all the agencies is staggering not to mention the state employees who are just warm bodies and the positions phased out about 1/3 of them.
