In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Individuals wishing to provide input during the public comment section of the FY27 Budget Presentation can do so by completing an online form. The form is accessible via the link: https://wcmd.info/4ez1gqI. For those unable to attend in person, the budget presentation will be available for viewing via a live stream. The video stream can be accessed on Facebook by searching for “Washington County Government – Maryland” and on YouTube under the channel “Washington County, MD Board of County Commissioners.” Additionally, a document titled the “Citizens’ Guide to the Budget 2027” is available for review. This guide can be found online at https://www.washco-md.net/budget-finance/financial-documents/.
Those with questions concerning the budget presentation are directed to contact the Office of Budget and Finance at 240-313-2300. For individuals requiring special accommodations to participate in the event, it is requested that they contact the County Clerk. This can be done by calling 240-313-2204 (Voice) or 240-313-2077 (TDD). Arrangements for special accommodations must be made no later than five working days prior to the presentation. The public’s engagement in this process is considered an important part of the county’s budgeting process, allowing for community feedback on financial proposals.
