Some folks think that Caroline County”s South County and extreme North County residents are paranoid when they claim they get the short-end from the county powers that be. Actions of Caroline County’s current commissioners lead Beavo to conclude that those residents may be correct.

Residents of Preston, Federalsburg, Goldsboro, Henderson and Marydel will soon be paying a trash sticker fee of $100 that no county commissioner will pay. Seems to Beavo that a fee is simply a tax you can’t deduct on April 15. The commissioners deserve a special cow patty for this brainstorm.

Caroline County residents who live in town will also be getting a tax increase courtesy of the Caroline County Commissioners. Removing the municipal tax differential will result in an automatic increase in their tax bill. Perhaps the commissioners thought no one would notice. Beavo noticed, and that’s no bull!

These gents will proudly say they did not increase taxes. In reality two taxes were increased or created without the intestinal fortitude to call them what they are. Pasture hockey anyone ?

Holy dual standard !!
