Baltimore City Council’s redistricting map vetoed; charter amendment proposed to check mayoral power

As the Baltimore City Council misses its final opportunity to override a mayoral veto on the city’s proposed redistricting plan, Council President Nick Mosby introduced a charter amendment Monday to limit the mayor’s ability to run out the clock on measures approved by the council. Marvin James, Mayor Brandon Scott’s chief of staff, said Monday evening that the mayor had vetoed the map.
