Public input absent at hearing on 2 11 tax rate
Frederick County officials faced empty seats at Winchester Hall during two back-to-back hearings on the 2.11 property tax rate and revenue sharing funds for the 1980 budget. Only one speaker at 1:30 p.m. and a sparse turnout at 2:30 p.m. left the proceedings without public input as the tax rate remains set to rise 18 cents over the current level.
