Mayor laments lack of public input on Frederick budget
Frederick Mayor Ronald N. Young voiced disappointment over the sparse public participation at the first 1975-76 budget session. Only one commenter, a taxicab driver, spoke against lending funds to the local bus line as he warned the year could be financially rough with revenue staying flat while requests rise 40 percent and a $50,000 electricity increase could boost the tax rate. The mayor and the Board of Aldermen will continue budget talks as he weighs state cigarette tax distributions and funding impacts on police and fire protection.
