County budget officer says 5 percent raises hit taxes
Frederick County officials clash over a five percent pay boost for teachers. Budget officer Harold K. Keller Jr. warned a 12 cent tax rate increase would be needed to fund the raise, as the school board and Frederick County Teachers Association accepted a mediator’s recommendation for the across-the-board boost amid earlier county plans of only a two percent rise. Commissioner Richard L. Grossnickle noted inflation at about 3.9 percent last year and questioned the 5 percent demand, while a non voting board member said the funding decision likely rests with the commissioners.
