A bill to shed more light on lawsuit settlements involving the Montgomery County government came before the County Council on Tuesday.
Council Member Will Jawando has sponsored a bill that would require the county attorney to report annually to the County Council and county executive the following about settlements involving any county office or division:
Which county division was involved, and who filed the lawsuit
The settlement amount
What the lawsuit was about
In an interview, Jawando said his legislation is related to two police-related bills he and Council President Tom Hucker sponsored this week.
