Charles County
County labors to plug hole in budget
Maryland Independent by JAY FRIESS

With the regional economy hitting a slump and tax revenues heading south, all eyes in La Plata have begun focusing on a single number on the Charles County commissioners’ balance sheet — $54.7 million.

That’s how much money the county will have in its piggy bank once it covers the yawning $18.6 million hole in the current fiscal year 2008 budget.

Tonight, Charles County’s teachers, school board supporters, real estate agents and citizens will get a chance to tell the commissioners how they want to spend that fat, but rapidly dwindling, fund balance.
