Carroll County Times - Christian Alexandersen: Senator hopes to repeal fortune telling ban

Carroll County Times - Christian Alexandersen: Senator hopes to repeal fortune telling ban

Soothsayers may soon be able to bring their palm and card reading talents to Carroll County if one state senator has his way.

Sen. Joseph Getty, R-District 5, said he was asked by Ariel Harper Nave, an astrologer from Westminster, to introduce legislation that repeals the county's ban on fortune tellers.

During a meeting with the Carroll County Board of Commissioners and the Carroll delegation of the General Assembly Tuesday, Getty said legislation should be introduced this session to make changes to the county's code.

Carroll's code says "a person may not demand or accept payment or gratuity to forecast or foretell, or pretend to forecast or foretell the future of another person by: 1. reading a card; 2. reading the palm of a hand; or 3. any other scheme, practice or device."

Violators of the prohibition would face up to six months in the Carroll Detention Center and/or a $100 fine... http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/senator-hopes-to-repeal-fortune-telling-ban/article_3f99cf70-07fd-11e0-a237-001cc4c002e0.html
