Liquor Board Inspector Works for a Club

Investigative Voice has been on this story from the beginning:

Pigtown residents who gathered to hear plans for a new 5,000-square-foot bar on the 700 block of Washington Boulevard at a community meeting last week said they were a bit confused when the three prospective owners were joined by a liquor board inspector who said he would be working as security consultant to the project.

 And now, Chanel 11 has found it worthy of their time:

A Baltimore liquor inspector has been reassigned amid allegations that he violated the firewall that's supposed to separate the inspectors from the businesses they regulate.

Now, I-V mentioned Fitzgerald's re-assignment, too, but at the end, giving the impression that it was the normal process of investigations, and not the lede of the story. I-V also managed to interview the co-owner of the prospective club, Tiffany Felder, who brought Fitzgerald in as a security consultant. Channel 11 makes do with a "businessman" named Paul Ely who's clearly hostile to the proposed club.

So basically, Stephen Janis scoops the Baltimore Media again, and gives us an actual damn story. Compare the two, and see which one gives you more actual information.
