Democratic Party's Precinct Organization and Central Committee Vote on Ballot Questions

This evening (Wednesday, September 17, 2014) the MoCo Democratic Party's Precinct organization (all precinct chairs and vice chairs and area coordinators) heard a presentation by the BQAC (Ballot Questions Advisory Committee). 

The BQAC had presented a report detailing the background of each of the questions on MoCo ballots this year, plus the best reasons to (a) support, (b) oppose, or (c) take no position on each ballot question.

The Precinct Organization voted to support all the ballot questions, including: 

(1) more protection for the Maryland Transportation Trust Fund

(2) authorizing MoCo to have elections to fill vacancies in the office of County Executive if that office becomes vacant

(3) providing more detail about where MoCo Council district members must live in relation to their districts, particularly after redistricting

(4) supporting retention in office of two Judges of the Maryland Court of Special Appeals.

After the meeting of the Precinct Organization, the MCDCC (MoCo Democratic Central Committee) voted to support all of the Precinct Organization's positions on these ballot issues.
