PG: And the County Council responds

The P.G. County Council will vote Thursday on a bill that would create a ballot initiative that would restrict the ability of the County Executive to approve contracts without the Council's consent. If it passes, it will add to the troubles swirling around Jack Johnson, but since it's a ballot initiative, I have doubts it will seriously hurt him -- the primary, after all, is the real election here.
