MoCo Structural Deficit Discussion at the Civic Fed Jan 10th, 7:45pm

As we all know there is a 'structural deficit' in Montgomery County.  This past May the Office of Legislative Oversight (OLO) was tasked by the County Council with undertaking a detailed analysis of the County's structural budget deficit and to recommend ways to check and control the 'drivers' of the deficit.  The study, Achieving a Structurally Balanced Budget in Montgomery County, has now been completed and can be found here (Part I, Revenue and Expenditure Trends) and here (Part II, Options for Long-Term Fiscal Balance).  Executive summaries are here (Part I) and here (Part II).  Additional spreadsheets and backup are here.

On Monday evening, January 10th, 2011 the Montgomery County Civic Federation will present a discussion of the OLO report.  Karen Orlansky, the Director of the County Council's Office of Legislative Oversight, will present and discuss the report.  As usual, there will be plenty of time for questions.

The Structural Budget Deficit is going to define how Montgomery County taxpayers and citizens spend our money for the next few years in these difficult economic times.  Please attend and speak up. 

Now it's your turn!

DATE: January 10, 2011
TIME: 7:45 pm
LOCATION: 1st FL Auditorium, County Council Office Bldg., 100 Maryland Ave., Rockville
