Friends, I’m working on a story that requires some community input,and possibly your help. I’ve received what I consider a credible tip that a current member of the Prince George’s County Council may be in a personal relationship with someone connected to Joan’s House, a non-profit that recently received $2.5 million in county grants.
Let me be clear: I’m not looking to make accusations without evidence. But the amount of public funding involved, combined with the lack of transparency around this grant, makes it essential that we verify whether any romantic or personal relationships existed, or currently exist—between any Council member and any staff or leadership at Joan’s House.
If you have firsthand knowledge, documentation, or even credible context, I’d appreciate it if you’d reach out, confidentially if necessary. You can contact me at:
📧 Barry.OConnell@yahoo.com
💬 Or via Facebook Messenger
I will not publish anything without verification from at least two sources. But in the interest of public trust and ethical government, this is a question that deserves answers—particularly when millions in taxpayer dollars are involved.
CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES WILL BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL!
Thanks in advance to those who have the courage and integrity to help shed light.
