Several Baltimore County Council members said auditor Brian Rowe fully disclosed his personal gain from a legislative proposal, which contradicts accusations from senior officials who are threatening to file ethics charges.

County administrators said Rowe intentionally misled the county when he urged them to adopt a law that would increase his and other employees? pensions without divulging his private interest. But council members told The Examiner Tuesday Rowe was “very up front” and “forthcoming” about his benefit.
