DUMFRIES — Officials in Dumfries are looking to lower some of the town’s taxes while raising the tax on cigarettes.
Town Manager Robert Ritter says the town will hold a public hearing on June 5 at the town hall where the Town Council will hear from residents about a plan to lower the business and professional license tax (BPOL) and its hotel tax.
From a press release:

The investigation revealed the suspect approached the teller counter and passed a note demanding money. The teller complied and the suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of currency. No weapon was displayed and no injuries were reported. A police K-9 and helicopter assistance from Fairfax County police aided in the search for the suspect who was not located. The investigation continues.
