The Trachtenberg Office was represented at County Executive Isiah Leggett’s fourth Budget Forum at the Long Branch Community Center in Silver Spring.
At the Budget Forum, the County’s Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Joe Beach, outlined the challenging budget environment confronting the County for the FY11 fiscal year.
The County Executive discussed the range of revenue and expenditure options that he will consider before he transmits the FY11 Operating Budget to the County Council in mid-March. He reiterated his budget priorities as support for public safety, schools and aid to the most vulnerable.
The Executive also responded to a number of questions from residents regarding support of the MCPS budget, sports academies, the Old Blair Auditorium project, proposed cuts to library services, and a pedestrian bridge to the Silver Spring library.
Our Chief of Staff Alan Bowser attended the Budget Forum on behalf of Councilmember Trachtenberg.
