Early 2017: Despite the adverse impact it would have on her constituents: Polangin sides with the developers, their money, and votes in FAVOR of residential development at Melford, and Marketplace. Her vote gives Berman Enterprise and St. John Properties permission to break Bowie City Code traffic and residential density allowances.
