Montgomery council reshapes legal services with Georgetown contract
Montgomery County approves a two year, 160000 contract with Georgetown Law Center to provide four lawyers and four to five researchers for council legal work. The plan reorganizes staff, moving toward merit system questions, while maintaining county attorney referrals and plain language code revision. Two members abstain, saying the shift away from merit positions weakens independence. The team will be housed on the county office building's sixth floor with support staff, and services include research, bill drafting, and agenda conference participation.
