Frederick County Budget Targets 170 Million For 1995
Frederick County Commissioners set initial budget targets at 170 million for fiscal 1995 via the MARC process. Income tax receipts rose 12 percent in Q1, yielding 800000 in unexpected revenue, while capital spending increases aim for 7 percent pay as you go funding. Commissioner Gray opposed MARC citing a salary shortfall risk and urged stronger revenue projections.
