Drummond becoming Baltimore County’s youngest board member is a victory for the student body. However, the decision has been met with opposition.
The outlet notes that the signed voting rights bill that allows Drummond to vote was criticized by the likes of Republican state delegates Kathy Szeliga and Ryan Nawrocki. From their perspective, if underage students are unable to do things such as open a bank account, then they shouldn’t be able to vote on a budget.
“Would you let a teenager vote and have control over the Baltimore Orioles?” Szeliga via a video, according to the report from the outlet.
“Of course not. That would be ridiculous,” Nawrocki reportedly responded.
