$9 MILLION for non-monitored "security" systems this year in MCPS

If you read the ‪#‎MoCo‬ County Council Ed Committee memo from July 8, 2013, a TOTAL of $8.996 (just call it $9) MILLION will be spent on non-monitored "security" systems this year.

Just $5.86 Million discussed at this specific (July 8th) meeting: $4.186 MILLION in State taxpayer funds PLUS $1.674 MILLION County borrowed (i.e., money will have to be repaid with interest so actually costing MORE) thru GO Bonds, of which $1.5 MILLION is a shifting of planned monies from FY16-18 to FY15.

Nothing like borrowing from the future!

Oh, if you're counting, that other $3.16 MILLION is already coming from County coffers (but who's counting).

---Great financial leadership there---
