Anti-Tax Measure Passes in Montgomery
Montgomery County’s anti-tax ballot measure prevailed yesterday by about 5,000 votes, after election officials completed a count of absentee ballots.
The results give sponsor Robin Ficker, a onetime legislator and Bethesda real estate broker, his first victory in a 34-year quest to curb county taxes. But the practical effect for at least the next two years, according to county officials, is largely academic.
