Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker said Tuesday he hopes that two pieces of ethics reform legislation he has proposed to the Maryland General Assembly show that the county is no longer a “pay-for-play place.” “If you’re doing business here, you’re going to get a fair shake and everything’s going to be above board,” Baker said on WTOP radio’s hourlong “Ask The County Executive” program.

County officials are handling a heavy week of ethics reform, as a new task force aimed at examining whether the county needs a new corruption watchdog group is set to meet for the first time Wednesday at Prince George’s Community College in Largo.
