O'Malley appoints state redistricting committee

ANNAPOLIS — Gov. Martin O'Malley announced the make-up of his five-member Redistricting Advisory Committee on the Fourth of July holiday.

The announcement of the committee first appeared on the governor's website July 5 and also noted the first meeting of the committee — the next day, July 6, in Annapolis.

The committee is charged with drafting a legislative and congressional redistricting plan for the state.

Jeanne Hitchcock will chair the committee. Hitchcock, who serves as the governor's secretary of appointments, previously worked with then-Baltimore Mayor O'Malley as a deputy-mayor, and worked on the redistricting process that created single-member districts in the city

The committee also includes Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr.; Speaker of the House of Delegates Michael Busch; James King, a former state delegate (2007-11) from District 33A in Anne Arundel County; and Maryland Stadium Authority member Richard Stewart, who is also president and CEO of Montgomery Mechanical Services.... http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-newsbriefs-0710-20110708-9,0,3219765.story
