Frederick County Considers Bus Line Tax Abatement
The Frederick County Commissioners reviewed a request from Capitol Bus Lines Inc. to abate the county franchise tax. President Charles Collins said the panel asked county attorney Samuel W. Barrick to determine legal feasibility and took no position yet. The line pays about 800 dollars in taxes across multiple municipalities and the state, with intrastate operations netting 479 dollars last year. Collins noted sympathy for the bus firm but questioned fairness if only one company received an abatement.

Zoning Director Alfred Catsail notes current rules require street and drainage work, with connections to existing sewer systems, but do not force developers to pay.
