WESTMINSTER, Md. —Carroll County commissioners voted unanimously Thursday to establish English as the county's official language, ending a year-long debate.

"I think it's dreadful. It's not needed. We have a growing population of many languages, and it's nonsense," said Tracy Lee, a county resident.
