What happened to Moore’s platform on transparency?
We have a Commerce Department tourism office that has usurped the functions of the Maryland Tourism Develooment Board which is in breach of statute since 2021 and making decisions on spending public funds, behind closed doors and in a black box.
And the Commerce Department attorney response to PIAs is shoot the messenger legal strategy. While refusing to produce documents.
The law seems optional in Maryland when private actors are feeding from the public dollar trough.
I would hope that state government is crystal clear. But this is in state. This is Calvert County and the NDA was signed by the County commissioners. There are five commissioners all Republican.

Thank you. I agree if it can't be done in the light of day without an NDA, should it be done at all?
