Proposed county budget leaves little wiggle room
Frederick County Comptroller Doug Browning released his fiscal 1999 operating budget recommendation on Thursday. The plan keeps the current tax and fee rates, projects $203 million in revenue, and uses $4 million from audited surpluses. It predicts a $5 million rise in property tax revenue and similar gains in local income tax, with limited room for appeals to boost funding.
