A taxing decision for Prince George's

In addition to slot machines and early voting in the state, Prince George's voters will decide Nov. 4 whether to borrow $361 million for new buildings and roads in the county — and if they are willing to pay more on their telephone bills.

Voters are being asked to approve five bond sales, a five-day extension in notices for legislative hearings and an increase in telephone taxes from 8 to 11 percent. The tax increase is Question F, the second-to-last of nine referendums on the ballot.
