Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich on Monday released a $6.7 billion budget plan for the next fiscal year, recommending no tax-rate increases, a reorganization of the county’s police department, and targeted funding to support recovery from the pandemic.
Of the $6.7 billion, roughly $6 billion would go to the operating budget and the remainder would to the Capital Improvements Program, debt service and reserves. The recommended $6 billion budget is an increase from the $5.8 billion budget the County Council approved in late May.
