Call our new phone message line to voice your opinion on any aspect of the Fiscal Year 2011. Dial 240-777-7802.
Our budget experts estimate that the County is facing a $608 million gap as it prepares the budget that will go into effect on July 1. Over the next five months the Council and its committees will be examining the budget requests of County government departments, and requests of County agencies including the Montgomery County Public Schools, Montgomery College and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.
This line is open to any and all types of ideas. We are expanding the number of methods available to seek fresh thoughts and reach people who may not be able to participate in the process through other channels. Whether people have innovative ideas on how we can approach achieving a balanced budget or if they have thoughts about specific items we will be addressing, we want to hear what they have to say. Traditionally, people have forwarded their thoughts through letters or e-mails, but those methods do not work for everyone. For those who just want to make a telephone call, we now have another option to help shape the next County budget.

I understand that you are sponsoring an amendment to do away with public comment and hearings concerning side walk building. I respectfully request you to withdraw the sponsorship. I am a resident in a neighborhood which is being torn apart by the issue where one or two sponsors are attempting to petition for a side walk and they have sought endorsement from the Howme Owners Association. The sponsors failed to convince the neighborhood of the benefits of the side walks. It is very clear that the HOA is not going to endorse the request. Based on the timing of this amendment I wonder, along with many residents in my neghborhood, if the proposed amendment is advanced based on the approach by and influence from the very few sponsers I referred to above.
PLEASE say NO to individuals who want to advance their selfish cause at the expense of the community. Please withdraw the amendment.
