GO Committee Worksession - Jan 29, 2026
The County Executive's recommended six-year capital plan issues $390 million more in bonds than the Council's spending-affordability rules allow, leaving an estimated $633 million gap. Projects the Executive cut or deferred to balance the plan could come back before the Council — making the gap even bigger.
