Maryland Faces Redistricting as Census Sparks Boundary Wars
Maryland lawmakers prepare to redraw legislative and congressional boundaries after the 1990 census. Frederick County surges, threatening district balance, with Western Maryland favored to start redrawing and major changes anticipated in Southern Maryland, Carroll, and Montgomery counties. A gubernatorial commission has few firm plans, and a September session will not decide legislative maps, which are due by the 1991 session.

Maryland bills to tighten public meeting laws and expand belts
Annapolis aides say Governor Schaefer will sign or let pass into law over 200 measures from the 1991 General Assembly. The package expands seat belt use to younger children and pickups, broadens auto inspections, caps campaign financing limits, and creates an advisory board to enforce openness rules. Some bills, like a 65 mph rural-speed limit, may be vetoed.
