Taxpayer Members Vote For Suit Over Adams County Budget
In a 233 to 1 vote taxpayers approve pursuing a suit against Adams County over the 78 budget. The board of commissioners passed the budget despite taxpayer objections, with threats of action at a December 30 meeting. Outgoing president John B. Burner notes membership growth fell short of a March 1877 target, citing a modest average new members per month instead of expected gains. He criticizes lack of positive membership growth and local group formation.
