Kenneth Burns
/
WYPR

A sea change is coming to the Baltimore City Council: Nearly half the members are not seeking reelection this year. Three of the 15 are retiring, two are vacating their seats to run for mayor, and another is pursuing a judgeship. Luke Broadwater of The Baltimore Sun and WYPR news analyst Fraser Smith join us to discuss the implications. Plus: CouncilmembersBrandon Scott, Bill Henry, and Robert Curran share their thoughts on the changes ahead. What does a City Council turnover mean for the city of Baltimore? Will new candidates and this year’s renewed sense of activism draw voters to the polls?
