Anne Arundel council to take up bill Friday stripping Pittman of coronavirus emergency powers

The Republican minority of the Anne Arundel County Council called for an end to County Executive Steuart Pittman’s coronavirus-related emergency powers at Monday’s council meeting and pushed for the full reopening of churches and businesses under state rules.

Councilman Nathan Volke, R-Pasadena, and his two Republican colleagues introduced a bill that would limit Pittman’s powers. They also introduced a resolution calling for the county executive to open businesses and churches to the same extent authorized under Gov. Larry Hogan’s recent rules on reopening Maryland. Their resolution failed with a party-line vote after nearly two hours of debate.

I lived in AA county in the 60s at that time it was a great place , then the balatmoreons moved out to the county , more Demos, and it became a sh///T hole like the city.

I agree that AS is Democratic. However, small business owners in AA hated Obama's policies. Very pleased with Trump removing all those Executive orders that kept small businesses hand tied.
