LuedtkeMay 15, 2026
The Montgomery County Council reached a preliminary agreement on May 15, 2026 on the Fiscal Year 2027 Operating Budget, Capital Budget, and FY2027-2032 Capital Improvements Program. The final Council vote on both the capital and operating budget resolutions is scheduled for May 21, 2026. Councilmember Dawn Luedtke announced she could not support the budget, citing a projected $293 million structural deficit driven by reliance on one-time revenue for ongoing costs.
