Comptroller’s branch office opened in Waldorf today

The new Comptroller’s branch office opened in Waldorf today.

Before the ribbon cutting, Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot warmly greeted the many Charles County officials and business owners who came to participate in the festivities. He emphasized the importance of this branch office to assist Charles County residents in completing their tax duty on time.  Any Maryland resident can bring in their federal tax forms for assistance and also have the branch office complete their state tax forms at no charge. He encouraged all those who qualify to take the Earned Income Tax credit that is available for 2010. Franchot has been a proponent for financial literacy among all citizens and is interested in financial literacy becoming part of the Maryland high school curriculum.

In attendance were Charles County Commissioners Wayne Cooper, Sam Graves, Rueben Collins, and Gary Hodge; as well as Sheriff Rex W. Coffey; Director of Administrative Services at the Sheriff’s Office Jack Hurd; Clerk of the Circuit Court Sharon Hancock; Stanley Trice of the Maryland Comptroller’s Office, and Orphan’s Court Judge Frank Lancaster.  Julie Vanderslice represented my office since I was in Annapolis.

This office is conveniently located at 1036 Saint Nicholas Dr., Suite 202, in Waldorf. It shares the same building as Avant-Garde Carpet and Floors behind the Charles Towne Plaza and across from the Saint Charles Towne Center Mall.
