Baker Shakes Up Scandal-Plagued Liquor Board, Names Fresh Slate Of Appointees

Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker has announced his nominees for the county’s troubled Board of License Commissioners.

The body, commonly referred to as the county’s liquor board, has been plagued by scandal stemming from ongoing federal bribery and conspiracy investigations. Baker’s announcement comes just a week after a former commissioner, 41-year-old David Son, pleaded guilty to bribery in federal court in Greenbelt.

The nominees tapped by Baker are: former Pepco executive Thomas Graham; Eric Bowman, a former captain and assistant commander with the Prince George’s County Police Department; local business owner Armando “Joe” Camacho; attorney SharRon Kelsey; and tech executive Ken Miles.

Three of the five have never served on the commission. Miles is a current member and Camacho has served on the commission before. All are subject to the confirmation by the Maryland Senate.
