County rejects HRC request for discrimination panel
Frederick County Commissioners rejected a request from the county HRC to create a five member panel to hear discrimination complaints. They warned the three member plan could misrepresent residents and opted to have the full commission hear cases until a new method is devised. The vote was 4-1 with Commissioner Gray supporting the request. The panel would also train for hearings, while a lighting project for Yale Street was also rejected in favor of seeking a petition for a special lighting district to fund lights.
