BALTIMORE COUNTY - A survey of Baltimore County Employees by the Blue Ribbon Commission on Ethics and Accountability found that most employees consider county Government an ethical place to work, the Baltimore Sun reports.
The Blue Ribbon Commission on Ethics and Accountability spent the last nine months evaluating and drafting recommendations for the office of the county’s top watchdog, Inspector General Kelly Madigan.
The commission surveyed over 7,600 county employees, commissioners, and board members. Baltimore County Police provided the most responses, with 308 staff members responding. The next most was the health and fire departments, with 191 and 179, respectively.
According to the Sun, Oof the 1,470 individuals who responded to at least one question, 70.3% answered the final survey question.
The final question asks if the respondent has anything to add “with regard to the ethics climate, reporting ethical misconduct or waste, fraud or misuse of County resources, or participating in an investigation by the Baltimore County Auditor, Ethics Commission, or Office of Inspector General.”
86% of answers said they had never made a report or been investigated, with only 6% reporting wrongdoing.

I hope that the plan include walk paths, open spaces with seating to view nature and consequences for people littering, loitering and killing the wildlife.
I can’t believe these are our ‘leaders’. Drugs deals on every corner and in every parking lot. Johnny Clueless so concerned about low income earners, when they live better than the middle class. Garbage bags littered everywhere by mostly the people Johnny ‘entitled’ to county houses.
My concern about some of the logic being used here is that the problem isn't the plastic bags.
Let's talk about the people who are doing the littering. Full garbage bags placed on the streets and sideways. Garbage being thrown from cars and trucks. Pedestrians walking and eating..than throwing garbage on the ground. Dog walkers not picking up after their dogs. Etc..
