IN THE NEWS
Moxley, a Democrat, was elected chairman of the Baltimore County Council on Tuesday. He said he expects the council will have to deal this year with the effect of slower home sales and less revenue from the state.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
Moxley has served on the council since 1994, and served as chairman in 1998, 2001 and 2004.

He also pointed to legislation he worked on that now requires county planners to consider projects in conjunction with existing plans in determining their potential impact on schools, roads and police, and to the efforts to redevelop older neighborhoods. He is a regional manager for International Fidelity Insurance Company.
