Carroll County Times article by Wiley Hayes: Late legislative initiative to limit central committee's responsibilities

By Wiley Hayes, Times Staff Writer January 30, 2015 http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-commissioner-meeting-0129-20150129,0,5511869.story

The Carroll County Board of Commissioners will be submitting a late addition to their legislative package to take away the power of the Carroll County Republican Central Committee to select the replacement of a county commissioner in the event of an opening.

This legislation is in part due to the controversial decision by the committee to only recommend former Commissioner Robin Bartlett Frazier to replace Sen. Joe Getty. The Republican Central Committee has since reversed course and recommended three names to Gov. Larry Hogan for the seat.

The commissioners voted 3-2 on Thursday to send this legislation to the Carroll County delegation. Commissioners Stephen Wantz, R-District 1, and Richard Rothschild R-District 4, were the opposing votes.
