State Roundup, October 5, 2011

GOP criticizes governor’s remapping of congressional districts; small crowd joins Occupy movement in Baltimore; O’Malley in commercials advocating same-sex marriage; state looks into waiver from No Child Left Behind; public hearing on slots in Frederick County; Leslie Johnson sentencing delayed; and speculation that Baltimore County schools superintendent to retire.

The first highlight the Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Committee touted about the congressional district plan it officially released Tuesday was that “more than 70% of Marylanders will remain in their current Congressional district.”

That means something like 30% of the people — almost a third of the state — will be moved into new districts.
