Spending cap not in jeopardy in Montgomery County
Montgomery County Council head says a school board repeal of the budget cap is unlikely but favors removing the supermajority override requirement. He urges continuing the existing allocation process for the school board, Montgomery College, county government, and the planning commission, while noting the charter’s 1990 mandate. He also questions the seven-vote override rule as anti democratic and plans to提ask the next Charter Review Commission to review the provision after summer. A separate item notes the State Highway Administration closed Coppermine Road in Woodsboro for a drainage project with a $46 million Woodsboro bypass, detour guidance via Md 194 and Md 550, and a temporary one to two month timeline.
