Reapportionment Bill Moves Through Maryland Senate
The Maryland Senate faces a reapportionment bill this week to adjust both houses to one man one vote. It would raise Senate seats from 29 to 47 with a county-based distribution and keep House seats at 142 with redistributed delegates. Attorney General Finan calls the plan likely unconstitutional, while supporters say it aims for fairer representation and preserves local voices. The Judicial Proceedings Committee, voting 6 to 5, sent the bill forward, with Frederick C. Markus casting the pivotal vote to allow full Senate debate.
