IF they're legal non-citizens, and it's limited to local elections, I'm okay with it, but that's it. Anything beyond that is too much.

It is only for local elections, and, as was mentioned, is not uncommon in Maryland.

College Park is like Berkeley east.  No surprise.

lol.  If you're going to say some Maryland suburb is like Berkeley, the answer is obviously Takoma Park.  College Park is... really painfully un-Berkeley-like.

Embarrassingly, the supporters of the amendment realized that they changed the city charter in June to require six votes to change the city charter; they had only four.  See here: https://www.facebook.com/collegeparkmd/posts/1556910414354545
