Maryland Governor's Redistricting Advisory Committee Submits Proposed Congressional Redistricting Plan to Governor, Releases Map

Advisory Committee Submits Proposed Congressional Redistricting Plan to Governor, Releases Map
ANNAPOLIS, MD (Tuesday, October 4, 2011)Today, the Governor's Redistricting Advisory Committee (GRAC) submitted its recommended Congressional redistricting map to Governor Martin O'Malley, and released the recommended map to the public. "The map we are submitting today conforms with State and federal law and incorporates the 331 comments we received from the public during our 12 regional hearings around the State," said Secretary Jeanne Hitchcock, Chair of the Advisory Committee. "We have developed a plan that reflects the population shifts, demographics, and strengths of our State."

Under the proposed plan, which builds off of the existing districts created in 2002, more than 70% of Marylanders will remain in their current Congressional district. At the same time, the recommended map restructures the Congressional districts to reflect population changes over the past decade reflected in the Census. Also, in contrast to the common practice in other States, the proposed map does not draw any incumbent Congressman out of his or her district. Each district conforms to the ideal Congressional district adjusted population of 721,529 residents. 

Governor O'Malley formed the GRAC on July 4, 2011 for the purpose of holding 12 public hearings, receiving public comment and drafting a recommended plan for the State's legislative and congressional redistricting. The Governor will consider the proposed congressional plan and will introduce his own plan to the Maryland General Assembly during its special session beginning on October 17, 2011. The plan is open for public comment through October 11, 2011. Comments may be sent by email (Redistricting2011@mdp.state.md.us), via hard-copy (Redistricting 2011; Maryland Department of Planning; 11th Floor; 301 W. Preston St,; Baltimore, MD 21201; ATTN: Linda Janey) or submitted on-line (http://planning.maryland.gov/Redistricting/2010/publicCommentsCongDraft.shtml).

Triples Funding to MARBIDCO, Supports Cover Crop Programs


ANNAPOLIS, MD (January 30, 2007) – Governor Martin O'Malley today renewed his commitment to support Maryland farmers by tripling funding for Maryland Agricultural and Resource-Based Industry Development Corporation (MARBIDCO) and supporting cover crop programs.

“As a state, Maryland must do more to keep our farmers competitive. To that end, I have proposed tripling funding to MARBIDCO to support new farmers and help rural businesses,” said Governor O'Malley.

By tripling MARBIDCO funding to $3 million, O'Malley will support young farmers who are trying to buy or lease farmland, and start-up enterprises that need help with rural business financing. In addition, Governor O'Malley is committed to helping farmers statewide enhance their profitability by marketing Maryland's agricultural-based economy and encouraging Marylanders to buy local farm products.

“My administration will support farmers by enhancing profitability, ensuring an adequate base of farmland, and marketing Maryland's agriculture, including a plan to encourage Marylanders to buy local farm products,” said Governor O'Malley.

Under the O'Malley-Brown administration, two initiatives will play a critical role in determining the future of Maryland agriculture: the Statewide Plan for Agricultural Policy and Resource Management, and HB 2, the Agricultural Stewardship Act.

The Statewide Plan is a superb model for agricultural policy. Its main recommendations center on three areas:

Enhancing profitability;

Ensuring an adequate base of well-managed agricultural land; and

Advancing research, education, and the advocacy of agriculture.

The O'Malley-Brown administration will work to implement the thirty recommendations contained in the report, including an aggressive marketing plan to encourage Marylanders to buy local farm products.

Similarly, Governor O'Malley will seek to carry out the mandates of HB 2, one of the most far reaching and forward looking agricultural reform bills to pass the General Assembly in decades.

“Long before environmental stewardship was fashionable, Maryland's farmers dutifully protected our land. I will continue to support cover crop programs and stand with farmers as they take the responsible steps to protect the Chesapeake Bay from agricultural runoff,” noted Governor O'Malley.

Farmers were Maryland's first environmentalists, but a changing economy has forced farmers to choose between profits and preserving the environment. Governor O'Malley will work to continue funding for cover crop programs, so that we can support Maryland's first environmentalists. O'Malley has proposed almost $9 million in his first budget for cover crop programs.
