Reforming Maryland's Referendum Process
Summary
<p><span id="docs-internal-guid-4f5c793f-7fff-befa-858f-d671000d8cb3" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Aside from president and senator, the most important votes in Maryland this November will be ballot questions. In Montgomery, a ballot question could reduce the possible tenure of the county executive from 3 to 2 terms. In Baltimore, the mayor and city council are suing to keep the "baby bonus" question off the ballot while other petitions want to cap property taxes and reduce the size of the city council. Sunil Dasgupta talks with Andy Ellis, who as a Green Party activist and a Baltimore Charter Commission member, has developed a keen understanding of the politics of referendums in the state. Music for this episode comes from Alexandria, Virginia, alt-rock band, Jackie and The Treehorns.</span></p>
