Frederick bill survives House bid for local contractor preference
ANNAPOLIS Frederick County Commissioners win a key House vote as a local contractor preference bill survives challenges to allow county officials to favor local firms in public works bids against out of state competitors. Amendments to restrict or halt statewide reach fail, sending the measure back to the Senate for final consideration alongside three other Frederick County bills on farming harassment, board member absence rules, and stormwater discharge regulation.
