Baltimore County is considering a tanning ban similar to the tanning regulation approved by the Board of Health in Howard County. But there is one important difference: the Baltimore County ban is going through the County Council rather than being back doored through the Board of Health as the Howard County Regulation was. Although I stand firm in my view that a ban on minors using tanning beds is completely ridiculous, at least Baltimore County has the integrity to channel it through an elected body before it becomes a law.
Sadly, Peter Beilenson, Ken Ulman and the Howard County Board of Health lack that same level of integrity.

Got a problem with the Health Board decision? Apply for the vacancy on the board per the below. Upset with ethics? There's an opening on the Ethics Panel as well. We need sensible people applying for these vacancies considering the compensation commission just voted to give all of the officials in the county a pay raise!
