Taxpayers pressure on Frederick County fire rescue system
Harold Shriver of New Midway argues that Frederick County Commissioners ignore taxpayer proposals to reform the Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service. He calls for a county audit, a countywide service plan, and a public accountability report before new taxes are levied. He says the safety director's high salary and centralized administration hinder rural response times and local control. The issue remains unsettled as voters prepare for November.
