Friedson and Stewart Speak on the Budget and Taxes

Now let’s get to the budget and taxes.  Here is more from my panel with Council Members Andrew Friedson and Kate Stewart at the Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce’s real estate update on June 27. This question is for both of you. In this last budget, the county executive proposed a ten percent property tax hike. The council ultimately passed a 4.7 percent property tax hike which both of you voted against actually for different reasons.
