FY12 Budget

The FY 12 budget was recently passed by the County Council.  This press release provides highlights of the decisions made by the Council.

Every citizen in Montgomery County is affected by the County Executive's and County Council's actions on the annual budget. Young; old; rich; poor; homeowners; renters; all are impacted in some way by the budget. This portion of the District One Community Caucus (D1CC) will track the development of the budget, the debates, the issues, and the outcomes by providing Web-based links to documents and related materials used during the entire process.

The County Executive, Ike Leggett, presented his proposed FY 2012 budget to the County Council on March 15.  His transmittal message is a good summary of his proposals to fill a $300 million shortfall.

The actual budget numbers, including an overview, agency summaries (including education) and functional areas can be found on the Office of Management and Budget’s website.
