Commissioners Unhappy with PlanMaryland Decision - Eldersburg, MD Patch: " http://eldersburg.patch.com/articles/governor-accepts-planmaryland
    
Carroll County Board of Commissioner President Doug Howard said he's disappointed in the governor's decision to accept PlanMaryland, but not surprised.


In June Gov. Martin O'Malley presented a draft of PlanMaryland at the Maryland Association of Counties (MACO) conference in Ocean City. PlanMaryland is the state's long-range sustainable growth plan.


As previously reported on Patch, Carroll County's commissioners spoke out against PlanMaryland, saying they did not like the idea of handing over local planning issues to the state. They said they question a plan that suggests a one-size-fits-all solution for counties across the state." ... http://eldersburg.patch.com/articles/governor-accepts-planmaryland

The following letter was sent to the leadership of other counties in Maryland by a newly formed organization in Carroll County, Citizens United for Carroll County.

---

We are writing to you because we have learned that a few Maryland counties have expressed solidarity with the Carroll County Commissioners on the issue of PlanMaryland. These counties have joined in Carroll’s request for an extension of the comment period to consider Maryland 's first-ever master plan governing growth and sustainability.

We wish to inform you, however, that Carroll County 's objections to PlanMaryland have nothing to do with clarification of language or other rational considerations. Carroll’s request instead emanates from extreme viewpoints which your county would likely be embarrassed to be associated with.

Simply put, the Carroll County Commissioners embrace extreme political views. ...
