According to the provided source, Baltimore County Inspector General Kelly Madigan has been informed by County Executive Kathy Klausmeier that her term will not be automatically renewed, and the position will be subject to an open search process, despite Madigan's belief that her tenure should continue based on county code. Madigan, the first person to hold the Inspector General role in the county, states she is surprised by this decision from Klausmeier, who was appointed interim executive following the election of the previous executive to Congress. The article notes that Madigan's investigations have often led to conflicts with powerful county politicians, and she still plans to apply for the position while standing by the work of her office. This situation comes after voters recently approved a measure to establish the Inspector General's office within the county charter, making it more difficult to abolish.
