Council members express differing budget priorities

It was mentioned in the local press, but in case you missed it:
On an operating budget amendment proposed by County Executive Robey to shift $250,000 from the snow removal and contingency funds to instead provide assistance to low-income people who either have been evicted from their housing or are threatened with it, Council members Ulman, Guzzone, and Ball voted yes and Merdon and Feaga voted no.
Although the operating budget was ultimately approved unanimously, the vote on the amendment points up one important difference in what we would likely get from our two leading candidates for County Executive: Ken Ulman and Chris Merdon. They each have their own spending priorities.
