The three questions there is no wrong answer. 1 is just a name change, 3 makes it harder to request a jury trial for a civil lawsuit, 5 removes elections for the Orphan Court in Howard County only and changes the appeal process slightly.

H-Personally yes, the police department has been a state agency since the 19th century.

I - Personally I would vote to support as it makes it so the advisory board that oversees the IG cannot be an elected official, candidate, or lobbyist.

J - Personally yes, as it consolidates all bill paying into a single department.

K - Personally, no, if it was limited to the mayor and City Council's President I would vote yes, I don't like that it includes Comptroller.

Edit: I like Ballotpedia: https://ballotpedia.org/Maryland_2022_ballot_measures

Apparently, question K is being pushed by the Sinclair group that has been buying up all the local broadcasting stations, which feels rather insidious.

I’m a lawyer in Baltimore that does Plaintiff personal injury cases. Question 3- raising the dollar amount to request a jury, is a VERY GOOD IDEA.
