Libertytown fire tax cut may threaten volunteer corps
Libertytown taxpayers may gain a break as the fiscal 1997 budget seeks to eliminate taxes in the Libertytown fire taxing district. County officials warn the move could financially cripple the Libertytown Volunteer Fire Co. by eliminating revenue used for two daytime ambulance personnel and capital purchases. Budget officer Mark Sneadner proposes restoring the rate to 8 cents for 1998 to fund operations and an ambulance replacement, while the fire company argues a surplus exists and loss of donations would hinder fundraising.
