[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could be wrong about this, but I believe the process now is if the county wishes to override this, they need a unanimous vote, no?[/quote]

No. 9 votes. [/quote]

Ah, thanks.

So they need 9 out of 11.

3 of whom voted for another candidate (not Hendrick, forget his or her name).

Will be interesting to see if they vote as a bloc, to show Elrich, or if they use this as an opportunity to re-open the door for the other person. [/quote]

Right, 8 councilmembers voted for James Hedrick, 3 councilmembers (Jawando, Mink, Sayles) voted for Cherri Branson. If I were a councilmember, I would vote to override Elrich's veto if for no other reason than to assert the county council's prerogative over the county executive to appoint the Planning Board commissioners, but I am not a councilmember, so who knows?[/quote]

Yep, thats certainly one consideration.

Or maybe there will be some insider horse trading like Jawando and Mink agree to back Hendrick and override the veto, if they get support on their STEP act.   Or another councilmember agrees in exchange for a vote on one of the two competing rent control proposals.

Interesting stuff. [/quote]
