Gov. Larry Hogan’s former Chief of Staff Roy McGrath declined to answer several questions during an oversight hearing Wednesday regarding the six-figure severance payout he received, and what role, if any, Hogan played in that decision to dole out the cash.
McGrath served as the governor’s chief of staff from June 1, 2020 to Aug. 17, 2020. He resigned shortly after news of the severance was made public. McGrath served as director of the Maryland Environmental Service (MES) from Dec. 21, 2016 to May 30, 2020. The MES board of directors approved the controversial $239,000 payout in a May 28 privately-held virtual meeting.
