The document discusses a proposal by the Frederick County Board of County Commissioners to potentially outsource or "privatize" between 25-50% of county jobs. This could impact over 500 county employees and have negative economic effects on local businesses that benefit from county workers' patronage. The document urges residents to get involved by voicing opposition through local media and attending public hearings, as the proposal's motives and potential consequences are unclear and it could dismantle the county government.

government leading us? e Frederick County Board of County Commissioners is looking to make a decision to privatize, aka outsource, our county government -- within weeks! What would this privatization look like? We have between 532 and 1,032 employees who might have their jobs outsourced. Potentially, this is the destruction of 25 percent to 50 percent or our county workforce. How many will be rehired by the contractors, and at what level of pay and benets? What will this do to our neighbors and friends, their fami- lies, and the downtown businesses and restaurants that benet from their patronage? We need to stand up for our businesses and neighbors, and advocate against the dismantling of our county government! Our county government is not broken, its not broke, and this is a mistake.
