Frederick County Commissioners flip on wish list items
Frederick County officials reversed two of sixteen requested bills in Annapolis, dropping a proposed salary hike and an adequacy law. They kept new fines for bad checks and rewards for crime tips. Commissioner Galen R. Clagett cited election-year timing and the need for a county executive style administrator to free commissioners for policy work. He warned inflation could erode the $16,000 pay, though colleagues resisted. The delegation signaled opposition, delaying any General Assembly submission.
