Prince George’s County is facing a projected $60 million budget deficit for fiscal 2008 and $100 million shortfall in 2009, according to a letter by County Executive Jack Johnson to the head of the county’s delegation in Annapolis.

The letter, obtained by The Examiner just after it was sent Thursday urges the General Assembly, to relieve the county. In the letter, Johnson said he would soon announce cuts to keep the budget balanced in light of the climbing deficit.
