💨 Abstract

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, in his State of the County speech, discussed the need for funding for various programs including education and the environment. He proposed increasing the county's income tax rate from 3.2% to 3.3% as a more progressive alternative to a 3.5% property tax increase, aiming to fully fund the school system's budget request without cutting other county priorities.
