2020 Legislative Score Update - Quarantine Edition

As those who follow the legislative record tracker might remember, the last update took place in January, scoring legislation through the end of 2019. The score for 2019 is found here, along with a new tracker for 2020.

This year’s legislative tracker kicks off by scoring six out of the 10 council bills. The 2020 legislative score summary as shown below continues to illustrate two voting blocks. 

One block (Councilmembers Jones, Rigby, and Yungmann with County Executive Ball) continues to vote adversely against the budget and school quality, while another block (Councilmembers Jung and Walsh) continues to uphold them.

The tracker continues to demonstrate that Howard County’s political establishment is beholden to developer interests on a bipartisan basis.
