Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett is proposing to set aside $50,000 of taxpayer money to celebrate his own likely re-election as the county struggles to close a nearly $800 million budget gap.
Leggett’s proposed budget includes the $50,000 for an inauguration ceremony and to help ensure a “smooth transition” of power for the county’s elected officials.
