A Message From Councilman David Marks

Post date: Oct 05, 2011 1:21:55 AM

I wanted to let you know that the Ridgeleigh community will remain in the Fifth District.

I am attaching the article from the Towson Times that describes the debate over the County Council redistricting plan:

I was pressured to modify the map to accommodate the concerns of residents in east Towson who wanted to remain in the Fifth District. While I sympathized with their concerns, I could not support shifting your community or any other neighborhood out of the proposed district at the last minute.

Please pass this along to the members of your association. Thanks!

County Councilman David Marks
