Revenue sharing end threatens county capital plans
Frederick County comptroller Thomas M. Fox warned COG that stopping General Revenue Sharing could cut allocations by about 50 percent after Dec 31 1976. He said the loss may delay or cancel capital projects such as bridge and road work and force bond funding with higher interest rates amid a shaken municipal bond market.
