On October 23, 2026, the Prince George’s County Council chair defended a $7.6 million grant given to an organization run by a personal acquaintance, asserting that the award was fair, transparent and complied with all rules.
She said the process adhered to proper procedures and welcomed a review of the grant after the county received the money back.
The grant has been scrutinized because of the personal connection, prompting calls for an examination of the award.
