The report stresses reform to curb private contributions and primary spending.

Howard group to challenge Howard County redistricting plan
Citizens for Fair Representation for Howard County formed to sue the 1982 redistricting plan. They allege the plan dilutes Howard residents voting strength by more than 25 percent, lowers delegates from four to three, and splits Columbia while separating Elkridge from Ellicott City. Lead counsel McCaffrey and local lawyers offer pro bono services. Funds will be sought to cover litigation costs with support from groups including the Howard County Chamber of Commerce.
