Rotorex seeks sweeping tax and infrastructure favors to stay in Frederick County
A Rotorex executive delivers a long wish list of incentives to the Frederick County government in a bid to remain locally after considering relocation to a friendlier business climate elsewhere. The proposal includes road improvements, no cost employee training, public transit, education programs, image enhancement, and broad tax incentives, much of which would require state or federal action. The writer cautions the county against bearing the burden alone and urges lobbying at Annapolis and Washington for legislation benefiting the company rather than local sacrifice.

Fires, thefts and city progress in Frederick fifty years ago
Fifty years ago in Frederick Mrs. John Y. Foutz caused a smokelike steam incident that drew four fire engines. Frederick postmaster Guy Motter’s car theft led to a 300 mile chase, a Baltimore court summons, and eventual return of the vehicle. Ice skating on Culler Lake drew about 75 people, Lewistown Elementary was demolished for a new building, and four new officers joined the Frederick police at Gov. Thomas Johnson High School ceremonies with FBI Inspector Dwight Dalby as speaker. State Sen Goodloe E Byron planned an emergency bill to authorize county highway lighting after towns asked for maintenance of light poles. The Korean Little Angels performed for Gov. Thomas Johnson Junior High students under the Title II program.
