The current budget challenges facing Montgomery County were the primary focus of last night’s meeting and both Darian Unger’s, the Board Chair, and Reemeberto Rodriguez’, the Silver Spring Regional Director, focused on this topic.
After their reports were presented the Board members, along with three citizens in attendance, broke up into groups of three each to discuss how they might deal with the budget challenges facing the County. The primary questions these groups had to consider were: Budget Priorities, Potential Revenue and Potential cuts that they would suggest.
The County Executive will conduct a budget forum on Thursday, January 21, 2010 for Silver Spring citizens. This meeting is tentatively scheduled to take place at the Long Branch Recreation Center at the above address.
