Council confirms ethics-board nominee after supporters speak on character

The council moved to confirm a nominee to the Prince George's County Board of Ethics after a government-operations report and public support testimony. Government-operations staff reported a favorable committee recommendation for Krishnan Natesan; the nominee addressed the council as Chris Natiesen, describing pastoral leadership and experience in public administration and saying, "you can care about people while still holding people accountable."

Several supporters submitted written testimony read into the record, including praise for the nominee's character and community service. After brief remarks the council called the roll on a motion to confirm; the recorded vote was in favor and the motion carried (roll-call result recorded in the minutes).
