“The residents and voters of Carroll County have said that multiple times,” Kiler said. “We have met with governor, a number of his secretaries and delegates, and senators, multiple times. I don’t feel we would have a stronger voice in Annapolis if we had a county executive.”

Kiler said since 1968, county residents have voted against switching to charter government three times.
“The last charter proposal in 1998, was defeated by an almost 3 to 2 margin,” he said. “In addition, Code Home Rule was rejected by the voters three times, most recently in 2006. Based on these precedents, we can only conclude that our citizens are satisfied with the commissioner form of government in Carroll County.”
