A remark by County Commissioner candidate George William Murphy III, a Sykesville Republican, was inadvertently left out of an article in the Carroll County edition of The Sun yesterday. At a political forum sponsored by the Carroll Chamber of Commerce, Murphy said, "The hidden cost in the [county] property tax is that it is paid by the working poor living in apartments and by senior citizens on fixed incomes."

The Sun regrets the omission.
