Myersville Maintains 80 Cent Tax Rate Amid Protests
Myersville Town Council voted to keep the 8 cent per $100 rate, despite Councilman John Brown's opposition urging relief from a growing surplus. Brown noted $140,000 in reserves and a history of high taxes, while Bill Talbot pressed for capital projects to address upcoming street resurfacing and water system deficits. Julius Gunter resigned due to health, Ray Queen named as replacement, and GSSI owner Charles Bolm accused Browning Ferris Industries of antitrust violations in the local garbage contract bid, with FBI and Justice Department involvement and a $519.35 monthly bid by BFI.
