Group seeks higher taxes to fund Montgomery County services
A coalition named the Committee to Safeguard Our Services launches a petition drive urging Montgomery County officials to override the 6 percent property tax cap. It includes teachers, county workers, police and fire unions, NAACP, and Gray Panthers. They argue higher taxes are needed to cover a $185 million deficit and protect services, school programs, and staff.
