May Go To Court Over Welfare Board Funds
A Frederick county official signaled support for a court challenge to mandatory welfare provisions that would raise next year relief costs by about $18,000. He said cooperation from another county and a favorable attorney general opinion on public welfare rules could prompt court action. Commissioners plan to discuss this Saturday and seek broader reaction from peers. The county plans $16,000 for Children’s Aid Society work next year, down from $16,500, after a $500 budget cut.
