[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone else see Thomas Taylor's video posted to YouTube this morning 5/12?  It was available at 7am, but then became private and now gone.  It was relating to the budget and possible cuts, etc.  I can't find it anymore.  [/quote]

Gotta hand it to Taylor, he's playing a politically savvy game.

He's using the threat of bloodshed and outrage from MCPS staff to exert more pressure on the council to "find the money" to fund the budget as much as possible, even though he's being diplomatic in acknowledging that the council has a "tough job" and has been dealt a short hand given the fiscal realities of the state and county, so he's not burning bridges there either.

With three councilmembers running for County Executive, I think this will work. I imagine the Council will once again dip into reserves to get by another year and leave the structural deficits to be fixed by the next council.[/quote]
