No Montgomery County payraises under current budget scenario

Published December 13, 2011 12:00am ET



Montgomery County officials expect a $135.4 million budget gap next fiscal year — assuming the county doesn’t raise salaries for any employees across county government, public schools, Montgomery College or the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, officials said Tuesday.

County employees have had no cost of living increases in three years and no step increases for two years, according to Council Staff Director Steve Farber. County government and Montgomery College employees had furloughs in fiscal 2011, while park and planning employees had furloughs in both fiscal 2011 and 2012.
