A new report from the Baltimore Office of the Inspector General found that the Mayor’s Office spent more than $11.5 million in Workday and procurement card transactions between July 1, 2022 and November 17, 2025, including 336 purchases that required — but did not receive — mandatory approval waivers.

The investigation, launched in April after complaints about taxpayer-funded food purchases and internal celebrations, identified $167,455.06 in P-Card transactions that lacked required Bureau of Procurement waivers. Of those, 295 transactions were related to food or catering. Source: shorenewsnetwork.com
