GOP proposal seeks constitution change to refund surpluses
Maryland Republicans and Midstate Taxpayers Association propose amending the state constitution to require tax refunds when a general fund surplus exceeds 2 percent. The plan would trigger prorated checks to taxpayers, potentially as low as $10, with a 3/5 vote in each chamber, and faces criticism over fiscal priorities and one time capital spending. If in force today, a Maryland family could receive about $680.

Frederick aldermen voted 9 0 to raise residential parking fine from 10 to 25 dollars in the neighborhood around 244 S Jefferson St to deter patrons of the X-Hale nightclub. Residents praised the action while noting more needs to be done such as a tow away zone and stronger penalties citywide. The zone covers Catectun, Redwood, Adam, Willow and Burck streets with non residents barred from 10 pm to 3 am and police monitoring rather than the parking authority.
