County Departments Plead for Funding

Moody's backtracks and reissues 'negative' outlook on county's bond rating; incoming board may be legally unable to revisit 2012 budget.

The heads of Montgomery County's various departments queued up Tuesday before the county's Board of Commissioners to plead their respective budget cases as the county works to close a $44 million budget shortfall. The discussions took place as the county learned that Moody's Investor Service erred last week in calling the outlook on the county's Aaa bond rating "stable." Moody's retains a "negative" outlook for the county's ability to maintain its top-shelf creditworthiness. The pressure on the current board was ratcheted up further by county solicitor James Maza, who said state law may prevent the incoming Board of Commissioners from revisiting the budget in January, even if it wants to. Maza presented the commissioners with a written …

It's really Joe Hoeffel - with a self-castrated (politically) Matthews as his lap dog - that had his way with the MontCo budget for four years. Just look at the way the two violated the County's contracting guidelines to throw no-bid contracts to "friends", put unqualified allies in positions of import, and generally LIED for months as to the true fiscal health of the COunty. The problem is so …   more ›
