Voters urged to decide council election method in Maryland
A Montgomery County referendum proposal seeks a constitutional amendment allowing charter counties to decide by vote whether council members are elected at large or by districts. HB 100 HB 323 SB 79 would enable a county referendum with broad backing from civic groups and past county voting trends showing support for districting. The drive faces concerns a legislative move may seek exemptions, but supporters argue political power should rest with voters.

Simpson Pushes Four-Part Immigration Reform Plan
Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson, likely to be influential in immigration policy, promotes a four-part package: sanctions on employers of illegal aliens, a work-eligibility ID card, stepped-up border and interior enforcement, and amnesty for those who have established residence and are self-supporting. He favors a temporary worker program with Mexico and other nations to meet short-term labor needs, while noting political resistance and civil liberties concerns.
