蒙哥马利县议会批准 79 亿美元预算，引入累进税率，为公立学校注入资金
Read, Watch or Listen
Rockville, Md. The Montgomery County Council approved a $7.9 billion FY2027 operating budget on Friday after a week of deliberations, adopting new progressive income tax brackets for earners above $150,000, rejecting a proposed 6% property tax increase, and advancing measures that included shifting capital funds to add $143 million to Montgomery County Public Schools. Rockville officials faced protests Thursday night and temporarily postponed votes before resuming action Friday; MCPS leaders warned of potential staff cuts if funding gaps persist, the approved $143 million boost remains $36 million short of the district's request, and the county previously worked to close a reported $150–189 million shortfall while eliminating the Income Tax Offset Credit.

蒙哥马利县公立学校获得了 1.43 亿美元的运营经费增长，而高收入者则面临调整后的累进所得税税率，同时资本资金被转移用于立即支持学校的运营。
MCPS 距离其要求的资金仍有 3600 万美元的缺口，在议会拒绝了提议的房产税增税并改变了资金优先事项之后，员工和项目面临被削减和潜在裁员的风险。
