Montgomery County officials say they do not consider Maryland’s so-called “doomsday” budget — the cuts-only approach that would go into effect if state lawmakers do not return to Annapolis in coming weeks — particularly bleak.

“That’s how bad the regular session treated Montgomery County,” County Executive Ike Leggett said on WTOP’s “Ask the County Executive” program on Thursday. “We are better off with the doomsday versus the original budget.”
