BALTIMORE (WBFF) — A judge for the Baltimore City Circuit Court issued a memorandum opinion denying a motion of contempt filed by BGE against former employee whistleblowers and their attorneys.
The motion came after the former employees decided to intervene in a case before the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC), as BGE is trying to recover additional costs from ratepayers.
Through that, allegations surfaced suggesting a BGE employee was on a boat when they should have been working.
In documents filed with the Public Service Commission, 14 former BGE employees expressed concerns "that the company’s increased costs for contracting and internal labor in 2023 were not prudently incurred, including sworn testimony in which BGE’s Vice President of Human Resources acknowledged that an employee who was responsible for inspecting work performed by gas contractors during 2023 routinely spent time on his boat when he claimed to be working and had a pattern of fraudulent conduct going back several years."
Then, a highly redacted report by the Engineering Division of the Public Service Commission said in part, "The Engineering Division has identified gaps in BGE’s quality assurance and compliance oversight as it relates to the inspector in question."
"There is no evidence that BGE implemented a reinspection process for projects associated with falsified inspection reports," the report continued to say.
