License case goes to court over Thurmont license denial
Ralph Aubrey Sauble of Taneytown appeals a Circuit Court review of County License Commissioner Gail Catshall denying a Class A liquor license for Thurmont district. He alleges the decision was arbitrary, illegal, and not supported by substantial evidence citing population changes since 1950 and district-specific death data. He argues public necessity standards and comparisons to other districts were misapplied and would favor a county dispensary system.
