Baltimore Sun: New group organizes to oppose size reduction of Baltimore City Council
A ballot question asking voters to slash the size of the Baltimore City Council will face additional opposition this fall with the formation of a second group objecting to the proposal.
A coalition calling itself Baltimore For Democracy formed a committee this week with the Maryland State Board of Elections to raise and spend money in an effort to sway voters on the issue. The group will operate separately from a coalition of union leaders and elected officials headed by Mayor Brandon Scott that has already been working to defeat the question.
