Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker
III (D) unveiled a bold budget proposal Friday that
would raise property tax rates for the first time in 35
years and includes layoffs and furloughs, all to free up
more funding for schools, public safety and economic
development.
The $3.63 billion budget proposal was received warily
by the County Council, which has to adopt a final
budget by June. Chairman Mel Franklin (D-Upper
Marlboro) said he and his colleagues will scrutinize
Baker’s proposal carefully to see whether “the sacrifice is appropriate.”
One key issue is whether Baker can circumvent a 1978
law that requires the county to get voter approval to
raise property taxes. Excerpts from the Washington
Post.
Trash
Did you know the county requires that all trash be
put in a container with a lid? While we entertain
more doing the warm weather Birthdays Graduations
just to name a few, our trash cans overflow. Sprinkle
ammonia on your plastic bags to keep the animals
away. Also make sure that all trash in tied in bags to
keep loose papers from falling out of the trash can.
Let's keep our community clean!
What can you do you try and stop this? Contact your
elected officials.
SAFETY FIRST:
Keep your phone with you when out in the yard.
You never know when an emergency may occur.
Having a phone nearby allows you to call a
neighbor, fire department, or police in short time.
It’s a safeguard for you and your neighbors. Also,
remember to lock car, home, and garage doors.
Do not store valuables in the car. Keep entry ways
visible and open from obstruction and Lights ON!!
Leaf Collection: Bag your leaves and take them to the
curb for collection on Wednesday—our regularly
scheduled yard waste day. Leaves will be collected if
they are placed in securely tied, heavy-duty paper or
plastic bags or heavy-duty trash cans with handles that
are secured with a lid. Cardboard boxes are not acceptable containers and will not be picked up. Of
course, you also have the option of mulching or composting your leaves.
