1Opinion of the Court
ALAN M. WILNER J.
(Retired, Specially Assigned),
There are several issues presented in this appeal. The principal one is whether a charter county — Montgomery County in this instance — is authorized to use its human and fiscal resources to encourage the electorate of the county to support, or oppose, a ballot measure that may have a significant impact on the operations of the county government. The Circuit Court for Montgomery County said “no,” the Court of Special Appeals said “yes,” and we also shall say “yes.”
