"..hrlich promised to cooperate more with local governments in land-use decisions than former Gov. Parris N. Glendening. Ehrlich characterized the ex-governor's policy as one of 'our way or the highway.' Despite Ehrlich's criticism of the former administration, officials said the core idea of the Glendening Smart Growth program - the use of state spending to encourage development in urban centers and planned-growth areas - will not change."
