County OKs Middletown ambulance tax increase
Frederick County commissioners voted unanimously to raise Middletown’s ambulance tax rate from 6 to 9 cents per 100 dollars of assessed value to offset a 31 percent revenue loss from the Braddock Heights district. The Braddock Heights Fire and Rescue Company now covers that area. Braddock Heights will not be taxed. The Middletown increase funds two daytime EMS personnel at the station from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Middletown Raises Fire Demand to Offset Revenue Loss
Middletown officials approve an 8 to 9 cent tax hike to fund two firefighters at the Braddock Heights firehouse after boundary changes cut Middletown's revenue by about 120000. Mayor Thompson cites no nearby development to offset costs and warns against tax increases. The board also creates a county Care Service Agency to guide mental health funding and postpones a vote on the New Market water and sewer amendment until June 20 to finalize a county deal.
