Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced Monday that his newly appointed chief of staff, Roy McGrath, was resigning.
McGrath’s appointment raised controversy after it was reported that he had gotten a severance package of more than $233,000 when he voluntarily left his previous job at the Maryland Environmental Service.
