Apportion Plan Would Cost Frederick Two Delegates
An apportionment compromise would keep 123 delegates but cut 13 seats from 10 counties and shift them to five others. Gov. Tawes backs reform with a population based scale, maintaining two delegates per county and capping at 12, with changes every decade. Baltimore totals stay 36 until 1974, while several counties lose seats in 1966 triggering protests.
