Elkton cigarette tax funds stay in general fund despite talks
At Aug 16 2010 and Feb 21 2011 Elkton council discussions sought to earmark cigarette tax revenue for economic development or parks but the town charter and budget designation keep the funds in the general fund. In 2012 the tax rose to 20 cents a pack with support and opposition recorded. Town Manager Kevin Whitfield notes funds support operations and cannot be pulled for specific projects. A noted April 23 Valley Banner figure error is mentioned.
