Notes from Local Researchers

  • STATED THAT HIS TOP PRIORITY is for Montgomery County to have a long-term financial model. He argues that the county is too focused on balancing each year's budget rather than modeling its financial obligations several years into the future.[1]
  • WANTS TO MAKE IT EASIER for a taxpayer to trace how county funds are applied. Proposes a system in which a taxpayer could take a large expenditure and essentially click backward through the chain of approvals and contracts to determine what project or authorization it relates to.[1]
  • CONCERNED ABOUT creating transparent relationships between developers, campaign contributions and county decisions.[1]
  • BELIEVES MONTGOMERY COUNTY NEEDS both a new courthouse and a new jail and said, “I think the bond is probably the way to go.”[1]
