Property Tax Growth is Exceeding Price Inflation – By a Lot - Montgomery Perspective By Adam Pagnucco. If you have been looking at your property tax bill over the last few years and have noticed substantial increases, you’re right. ...

Montgomery County property taxes are consistently outpacing inflation, making us less appealing to families and employers compared to our neighboring counties. I hope the next Executive and Council will understand that we cannot rely solely on tax increases to fix structural budget deficits.

The Potomac is the nation’s most endangered river and DC’s only source of water. We must accelerate efforts to identify an alternative source, including the Travilah Quarry, which could store up to 17.4 billion gallons.

Rockville commuters: if you, like me, take the Red Line to work, be prepared for a major disruption this summer:

Happy Maryland Day!

Get Ready for a Double Digit Increase in Your Property Tax Bill - Montgomery Perspective By Adam Pagnucco. When County Executive Marc Elrich announced his FY27 recommended operating budget, he mentioned that it contained a 6.3 cent property tax increase. ...

Montgomery County cannot go on forever raising taxes on a shrinking tax base. We need leadership that's focused on growing the base, attracting new residents and businesses who will pay into the system, rather than taking bigger and bigger pieces from a smaller and smaller pie.

Rockville's Wootton area families meet with MCPS' Taylor for tense discussion on relocation plan With growing frustration from families as it gets closer to a vote on the future of Wootton High, the MCPS Superintendent met with parents.
