Councilmember Andrew Friedson released a statement on May 15, 2026 opposing the preliminary FY27 Operating Budget agreement reached by the Montgomery County Council, citing the elimination of the $692 ITOC credit and a structural deficit he estimates at nearly $300 million. Friedson said the budget relies on one-time reserves to fund ongoing expenses, which he described as unsustainable. The Council's final vote on the FY27 capital and operating budget resolutions is scheduled for May 21, 2026.
