On Monday, July 22, 2019 Comptroller Franchot visited the Liberty Shop in Westminster

On Monday, July 22, 2019 Comptroller Franchot visited the Liberty Shop in Westminster to remind residents of the upcoming Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week, which runs from Sunday, August 11th, through Saturday, August 17th.

There he was joined by Westminster City Councilwoman Ann Thomas Gilbert, and Councilmembers Kevin Dayhoff, and Ben Yingling, Md. State Delegate Susan Krebs, and Carroll County Commissioners Richard Weaver and Steve Wantz.

Franchot visited the newly renovated tap room of Pub Dog Brewing in Westminster off of New Windsor Road, and was also joined, by state, county, and local representatives.

During the week, qualifying clothing and footwear priced $100 or less will be exempt from Maryland’s 6 percent sales tax. And for the third year, the Comptroller is partnering with the Maryland Retailers Association to provide scholarships of $2,500 and $1,000 to two students attending Maryland public colleges or trade schools.

Brewer and President George Humbert talked a little about the renovation, as well as his experience of the regulatory side of the brewing business.
