***Maryland Matters: Council to interview and vote on their Planning Board appointments next MONDAY.***

Political notes: Guess who’s coming to town? Plus, MoCo planning vacancies draw a crowd, and a political provocateur targets Moore

...It will be up to the new County Council, which will be seated in early December, to name longer term replacements. But in the meantime, the five people the council names to serve temporarily will serve for at least a couple of months. The council is tentatively scheduled to interview finalists for the temporary positions and vote on their appointments next Monday...

...Generally, the County Council can only name three people from the same political party to the planning commission. So in a heavily Democratic county, it’s likely that three of the appointees will be Democrats; the others could be Republicans, unaffiliated voters or some combination.
