Citizens Group Changes Name to Carroll County Watchdogs

The group changed its name to avoid potential trademark violations.

The group formerly known as Citizens United for Carroll County has changed its name after being threatened with trademark litigation by a Washington DC organization called Citizens United.

The group, now known as Carroll County Watchdog, was formed in early September.

A statement previously distributed by the group said, "The group believes that the Board of Commissioners draft master plan takes the county in the wrong direction in relation to development priorities and strategies. The group believes that the commissioners' recent attacks on the draft PlanMaryland approach are unwise and unwarranted."
