Comptroller's Workgroup on Pandemic Spending to Meet Thursday

Department of Labor representative will provide details on COVID relief aid

WHO:

Comptroller Peter Franchot
Deputy Comptroller Sharonne Bonardi
Sandra Zinck, Director, General Accounting Division
Daniel C. Riley, Jr., Director, Compliance Division
Andrew Schaufele, Director, Bureau of Revenue Estimates
David Hildebrand, Director, Office of Risk Management

WHAT:

The Comptroller's Workgroup on Pandemic Spending will hold its third meeting on Thursday, July 29, at 1:30 p.m. to continue its review of state and federal COVID-related spending.

David McGlone, deputy secretary for the Maryland Department of Labor, will give an overview of pandemic relief programs funded by  state or federal dollars and administered by the department. 

Resulting from language inserted into the Fiscal Year 2022 budget by the Maryland General Assembly following Comptroller Franchot’s request for an independent review of pandemic-related spending, the workgroup is conducting a full inspection of how pandemic funds have been expended; determining if the funds went to intended recipients and populations most in need; examining disparities in distribution; and identifying possible predatory fraud and pandemic profiteering.

WHEN:

Thursday, July 29, 2021
1:30 p.m.

WHERE:

Louis L. Goldstein Treasury Building – Assembly Room
80 Calvert St.
Annapolis, MD 21401

The meeting also will be streamed on the Comptroller of Maryland's YouTube channel.
