Lawmakers: Ban cell towers at schools

Prompted by controversy over a company?s plans to place high-voltage equipment at a local high school, state lawmakers are considering banning cell phone towers on public school property in Baltimore County.

Baltimore County?s Democratic state Sen. Bobby Zirkin has introduced legislation he said will help other communities avoid battles like the ones parents of students at Randallstown High School fought last year over a proposed 11-story cell tower.
