Reapportionment Plan Described as Worst Mess by Smelser
Senator Charles Smelser condemned the reapportionment plan for the General Assembly calling it the worst mess he has seen. A special committee completed the plan dividing Frederick County into two senatorial districts and three delegate districts with overlaps into Washington, Montgomery, and Carroll counties. The proposal lumps eastern Frederick with Washington and forms Senate District 1-C and House District 1-4 with three delegates at large. The remainder of Frederick County aligns with Montgomery and Carroll counties to create Senate District 2-A and additional delegate districts.
