[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://wtop.com/montgomery-county/2016/05/montgomery-co-raises-taxes-adopts-5-3b-budget/ Glad to see the council gave themselves raises! I haven't had a raise in 8 years. Getting harder and harder to live here. [/quote] I'm not a fan of the tax hike, but it's inaccurate to say the Council gave itself raises. The Council can't vote on any raises or salary reductions for itself, within its current term. It is the prior Council who votes for a future Council's compensation. That prevents political posturing. They could have changed their salaries this year even if they wanted to. [/quote] They could have frozen the remaining part of their raise that was past by the last council but they didn't. a bill is going to be introduced in the next few weeks that is very developer friendly that gives them a larger tax break. Congratulations, we all just funded that bill. They purposely held it back [/quote]
