Baltimore County Councilman Wade Kach

Council members voice opposition.

Mail in voting is underway. Early in-person voting begins in two weeks.

The map has nine districts in case voters in November approve a ballot measure on council expansion.

Olszewski praised Kach for looking for political compromise.

They say Democrats want to back out of an agreement that got GOP votes to put council expansion on the ballot.

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.

Voters will decide the issue if the County Council puts it on the November ballot.

Proposal has been on ice for more than three years.

It currently doesn’t have the support it needs to get on the November ballot.

New mixed use zoning bill also introduced after Olszewski’s falls flat with council members.
