Petition Would Expand Baltimore County Council Seats to 11

A petition drive is on to expand the Baltimore County Council from seven members to eleven. Baltimore County’s Council has had just seven members since it was created in 1956 and a coalition of residents and local advocacy groups says it’s time to expand representation. The Vote4More initiative, led by county resident Linda Dorsey Walker, aims to put a measure on the November ballot to add four seats to the council, according to the group’s website.
