Plan for Commission Government Gains Support in GOP
Former governor candidate George K. R. Gaither of Baltimore argues that the legislature will provide for a commission form of government despite no pledges in party platforms. He cites trends in this and other states and says the idea could be left to municipal voters, with 30 percent support enough to submit. He notes his shift in view from his Baltimore Charter Commission role and his belief results in New Jersey and elsewhere have been satisfactory.
