[quote=ModeratelyMoco][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do property tax increases still require the council's unanimous support, and is that likely?[/quote] Technically, no. The state overrode that, when they put in Maintenance of effort for schools. [/quote] Technically it’s in question. If the raise was only for schools, it would not need it. But you can’t increase a ton of budgets across the board and then pretend it is just for schools. See what else is increasing here: https://montgomeryperspective.com/2023/03/16/the-central-fiction-of-elrichs-budget/ As far as other questions about accountability and this money going towards smaller class sizes and teacher pay… don’t count on it. Our county has no accountability and frankly no reason to change that: https://moderatelymoco.com/taxes-up-services-down-why-accountability-matters-more-than-ever/[/quote]
