Discord over a property tax hike animated debate in Maryland's most populous county, leading to a closed-door consensus and clashing visions for the future.
by County Executive Marc Elrich. The journey to consensus divided the leaders of Maryland’s most populous county, ultimately leading to a closed-door agreement and clashing visions for the future.
The council ultimately proposed an 8.5 percent increase in county funding from last year, saying it expected the school district to fully fund already-negotiated raises for teachers and other school staffers. But the compromise did not sit well with everyone. Although the council shaved down the tax hike, it did not cut enough to balance the spending plan’s ongoing expenses without dipping into rainy-day funds and other one-time funding sources — a move typically reserved for emergencies and one-off expenses.Advertisement
Elrich said his administration has not had a fair chance to restructure vacancies because it has not yet determined which positions were disproportionately affected by the pandemic but need to be retained and which could be repurposed or cut to make the government more efficient.
