Potter budgets 715.2 million for county schools and college aid
Montgomery County Executive Neal Potter proposed a 715.2 million operating budget for public schools, aiming to close a 47 million gap by not funding negotiated raises. The plan raises Montgomery College to 30.4 million and cites education as a top priority. He warned of layoffs if raises are granted. The proposal faces opposition from teachers and union leaders urging funding of contracts and avoiding wage cuts while ballot limits constrain tax growth.
