Montgomery County, MD - County Exec Marc Elrich

On Friday, I joined The Politics Hour to talk about the County's next operating budget, data centers, and more. I love having the opportunity to explain myself and welcome all questions. If you get a chance cue it up to 30:40 in and listen. ow.ly/y1WR50YXPLR

The Council's budget ups every homeowner’s tax bill by $692 (no ITOC). The avg. homeowner ($650,000) will pay the equivalent of a 10.6-cent tax increase. If the home is assessed at $2 million, that homeowner will only receive the equivalent of a 3.5-cent tax increase. Regressive.

Mothers are the backbones of every family. We are forever grateful for their guidance, love, and presence in our lives. And to all those who have lost their own mother over the years, I hope this day brings back wonderful memories of cherished moments.

Since 2023, police drones have helped improve response times and given officers critical information in real time. They've also helped take criminals off Montgomery County streets. I'm glad that the investments we've made in public safety are paying off. ow.ly/TjKM50YKvXA
