Jack Johnson Bill is on the Ballot

By a vote of 6-3, the Prince George's County Council voted to amend the County's charter to give the Council greater oversight authority on County contracts. Voters will get a chance to vote up or down on the charter amendment this November.

Kudos to the Prince George's Council for acting promptly and showing that they won't put up with this sort of abuse of the people's money. Cheers to the following six Council members who voted for the measure: Marilynn Bland (D-Clinton), William A. Campos (D-Hyattsville), Samuel H. Dean (D-Mitchellville), Thomas E. Dernoga (D-Laurel) Camille Exum (D-Seat Pleasant) and David Harrington (D-Cheverly).
