Frederick County Political Clash Over Tax Rates and Oversight
The piece accuses the Republican board of county commissioners of failures in crime prosecutions and financial management. It alleges six unsolved murders with no convictions, denounces the county treasurer’s accounting as incomplete, and questions excessive expenditures. It contrasts Republican leadership with Democratic gains in Annapolis and cites a 1918 tax-rate rise and subsequent overspending.
