County votes mold fiscal line in education funding stance
The Frederick County mood mirrors national fiscal conservatism with calls to hold taxes. The 1982 budget grants a 10 percent county funding increase to the Board of Education while officials warn the 13.7 percent request cannot be fully met without raising the tax rate beyond 17 cents per 100 valuation. The school board presses for more, but the commissioners stand firm. Public opinion stresses trimming budgets to aid economic recovery and protect children’s futures.
