CECIL COUNTY — In response to the ongoing push for an increase in funding of Cecil County Public Schools, county residents are campaigning to donate their FY24 property tax rebate
ELKTON â Supporters of the Cecil County Public Library, wearing shirts embroidered with âLove our Library, Fund our Library,â came out to the Public Budget Hearing at Elkton High School Thursday, to voice their opposition to County Executive Danielle Hornbergerâs proposed library operating budget cut.
Hornberger proposes a cut to the operating budget of 5.7% or $366,202. Her administration has said that the total budget is actually being increased by 12.7% or $818,798 when the increase in the debt service to pay for the new North East Library building is accounted for.
Many attendees disputed this framing of the FY 2022 budget and said operating budgets and capital budgets are separate funds that have nothing to do with each other.
