Frederick County Commissioners squash pay raise plan
Commissioners voted 4-1 against seeking an increase for future members as taxpayers would not accept 10 percent raises. David Gray pressed for a $3,000 raise, while officials noted raises apply only to the next incoming group and cannot affect current commissioners. They will relay raise requests for sheriff, state's attorney, Orphan's Court judges, treasurer, election board supervisors, and liquor board supervisors to the Frederick delegation.
