The News Post presents nine key questions to all alderman candidates. This page carries the Democrat responses to the nine questions. Republican and major party candidates have already published their answers, and the petitioned candidate will appear later this week.
In view of rising property taxes and spiraling assessments, the next fiscal year is likely to bring increased city tax rates and higher revenues from assessments. General fund spending is anticipated to grow to meet services and obligations, reflecting the tighter budget landscape.
Galen R. Clagett argues that a tax rate increase is unlikely for 1969 70 but stresses preparing for the 70s. He calls for an expanded program, reduced administrative overlap, professional planning, and alternative revenue sources, plus aggressive leadership to address racial discrimination in Frederick city.
Ronald N. Young argues holding the tax rate steady is possible without raising assessments. He notes four years of constant rates achieved by higher assessments, cites unfelt costs from ongoing projects, and warns natural city growth may not fully cover new expenditures.
Max S Kehne argues for a new assessment base from construction to fund city operations without raising taxes. He advocates growth driven revenues and aligned spending to community needs while seeking equal treatment and responsive City Hall for all groups and against discrimination.
Donald B. Rice argues that by applying sound business principles and anticipated general fund revenue from new construction the next fiscal year can avoid any tax increase. He remains convinced the real estate tax fines for both homes and businesses must be maintained.
The candidate pledges to root out double taxation on city and county services, push for stronger housing codes and more low rent housing with private capital, and expand coordinated efforts among agencies. He emphasizes improved police strength, recreation facilities, downtown vitality, and citizen involvement while opposing the Potomac River Compact and backing a joint city county stadium study.
