Baltimore County lawmakers said Gov. Martin O?Malley?s other legislative initiatives will help the county?s increasing gang problems, revamp a county-located detention center and improve safety along county roadways.
The county?s mostly Democratic General Assembly delegation largely praised O?Malley?s modestly priced initiatives in the wake of a historic $1.3 billion tax increase approved during a special session in November. Even some county Republicans offered compliments for goals such as fully funding Program Open Space ? an initiative that has, in part, enabled the county to permanently preserve 53,000 acres of rural land.
