Political upheaval as city board clashes over planning panel
A contentious board meeting pitted Aldermen Joe Baldi and Dave Lenhart against Mayor Jennifer Dougherty as the council debated a proposed charter change. The move would depoliticize the Planning Commission, reduce aldermanic voting power, and shift the body toward observer status while Dougherty sought broader aldermanic representation. Amid shifting stances, Dougherty backed temporary vetoes and pushed for consensus, with Blaine Young and James E. McClallan described as key adversaries. A looming statewide race adds edge as Kathleen Kennedy Townsend advances in Maryland, while local figures defend or challenge the mayor’s leadership as four-year terms unfold.
