Court again denies Baltimore appeal over inspector general records access
Original: Court again denies Baltimore's appeal to block inspector general's access to records
A court has once more rejected the city of Baltimore's appeal seeking to block the inspector general from accessing city records. The ruling preserves the independent watchdog's authority to obtain documents from city agencies. It marks a repeated legal defeat for Baltimore officials, who have sought to limit oversight of their operations, and reinforces the inspector general's investigative powers.
Why now: A repeated court ruling limiting city officials' ability to restrict oversight of their records is significant news for government accountability in Baltimore.
