Prince George’s County council approves map slammed by more than 150 residents in public testimony

The majority of council members in Prince George’s County approved a redistricting map Tuesday night that has been widely lambasted by residents in this Maryland suburb as a blatant example of politically motivated gerrymandering. More than 150 residents testified late into the evening against the map, which they said would divide communities, erode trust in government and hurt the reputation of county leadership.
