MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. – The Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich is receiving pushback on his idea to raise income taxes.
It comes as local governments across our region are proposing bigger budgets, more spending and more taxes — all at a time when economists say the DMV’s economy could be headed for a fall. Similar concerns are widespread across the area.
The Trump administration’s efforts to slash the federal jobs hits the DMV hard but at a time, residents are fearful about the future. Increased spending and bigger budgets by local governments are triggering new taxes and new worries by some who are afraid they can’t afford them.
