New Market residents duel over credit card sign ban
Residents clash with the Historic District Commission over a ban on credit card signs in shop windows. A Frederick County judge voided earlier citations as vague, but the town keeps current rules while a proposed amendment aims to restore clarity. Supporters cite decorum and tourism as key, while critics call the move overly restrictive and harmful to business.
