Statement of Councilmember Duchy Trachtenberg on the Montgomery County Council’s Approval of a Six Year Fiscal Plan and New Reserve Plan

Statement of Councilmember Duchy Trachtenberg, Chair of the Management and Fiscal Policy Committee on the Montgomery County Council’s Approval of a Six Year Fiscal Plan and New Reserve Plan.

"The Council's action today is an important step—but far from the last step—toward results-based budgeting and performance accountability. As governments at every level—national, state, county and municipality—struggle to rein in spending and find a way to maintain essential services, the urgency of sober and serious fiscal planning is inescapable. As stewards of the County's economy, the Council today has shown real leadership and a vision for the future. When the current crisis is finally past, this fiscal plan will be seen as part of the solution."
