Amendment To Charter Retained In Maryland City Council
The General Assembly retained a charter amendment requiring alderman vacancies to be filled by a qualified citizen of the same party as the departing officeholder. Mayor Munshower and State Senator Ramsburg both said the party affiliation rule was kept. If June 1 passes, the new charter would require party alignment for interim appointments, affecting potential candidates like Republican Clyde B. Roney. The mayoralty selection remains after June 1, with no change to the mayoral process.
