At Large Senate Election Debate on Redistricting Plan
Senator Derr attacked a bill to elect state senators at large within congressional districts while backing some single district proposals. The plan, approved last week, would ban at large senate elections and move toward eight districts. A Frederick delegate criticized the move as attempts by eastern Shore senators to keep jobs, and a AP survey showed broad opposition with only one senator in favor. The Senate reapportionment issue continues toward a vote in a special session.
