Judge denies city’s motion to disqualify attorneys, allowing IG Cumming’s lawsuit to proceed. The judge’s decision undercuts the administration’s broader efforts to limit the inspector general’s access to city records.

In an earlier report on April 17, the Brew reported the following: "Even before hearing any arguments, Baltimore Circuit Court Judge Pamela J. White made clear she was pretty skeptical of the city’s position..In dismissing Cumming’s request for document access as 'a political disagreement,' she said, the Scott administration 'minimizes the charter authority of the OIG – particularly concerning [its] powers and responsibilities to issue and enforce subpoenas.'
