County officials prevaricated on sunset provision Re: “Unions push for MontCo to keep huge energy tax hike,” Dec. 9

Montgomery County’s 256 percent electricity tax increase, which went from $.0052/kwh to $.0133/kwh on residential usage, was passed in 2010 before the election, and was supposed to “sunset” in June 2012. The definition of “sunset” is “the close or final stage of any period.”
