Baltimore County Council

Baltimore County Council Chair dissed the Anne Arundel County community during a council meeting.

Legislators, advocates want the state to intervene.

The council is fixing legislation it passed by veto override.

Henry’s departure comes during Olszewski’s congressional campaign.

They delivered more than 10,000 signatures to the board of elections.

If voters approve, the number of council members will increase by two.

County Executive Johnny Olszewski vetoed the bill in early June. He said its limits on new housing projects near overcrowded schools would stunt efforts for affordable housing.

Council vote expected Monday.

Baltimore County Council Chair apologizes for dissing Anne Arundel County community.

Critics say the bill would create more problems, like a lack of affordable housing. But advocates say there’s an urgent need for school relief.
