Some Baltimore County lawmakers expressed concern that a proposal to overhaul Baltimore County?s towing industry could give a private contractor too much authority ? possibly running some long-standing companies out of business, they said.

The County Council will discuss the sweeping legislation, proposed by Councilman Ken Oliver, D-District 4, at a work session Tuesday. Oliver said the proposal will break up a monopoly of about 30 towing companies permitted to operate in the county, and open competition to minority entrepreneurs.
