December 22, 2010 - Montgomery County Commissioners met to finalize the 2011 budget. A 5% voluntary spending reduction by all departments had been discussed already but they fell short of what was needed -so twice they recessed to discuss additional cuts. This video highlights how the budget proposals made by Commissioner Bruce Castor were completely ignored by the majority "coalition" of Democrat Joe Hoeffel and Republican Jim Matthews. Let's hope in 2011 Bruce Castor gets two other commissioners who are more interested in considering all proposals instead of protecting pet projects over preserving jobs of county employees
