Redistricting Led to Lobbyist For City

Kathy Cornwell

Several years ago when redistricting drew new lines in Allegany and Garrett County, the City of Cumberland lost a voice in Annapolis. With only one delegate for the area, the city took the step to hire a lobbyist to assist in getting a larger and louder presence in the state capital. Mayor Ray Morriss explains what the lobbyist does for the city…

“How can we continue to have that voice and do that networking and we hired Percy Public Affairs – Rich Reinhardt. So what he does is he helps us with legislation and the writing of legislation and then also, obviously, working with the legislators to get that legislation passed.”
