With budget planning in full swing and tax season looming near, you may be wondering what Arlington County is paying for with your tax dollars.
County officials are currently hammering out the details for the next fiscal year’s budget, which the County Board is slated to adopt on Saturday, April 17 and which will go into effect on July 1. The proposed $1.36 billion budget, which County Manager Mark Schwartz calls a “transition” budget, includes a COVID-19 contingency fund and $16.4 million in cuts.
And while the pandemic forced some revisions to the current 2020-21 budget, the pandemic has not changed the different buckets of spending by the county from Arlington Public Schools to the Department of Parks and Recreation and what proportion of the general fund these sectors receive.
My mother died last year and I asked for probate to find out what happened to her bank accounts and home.
She had suffered from dementia and was in an old people s home. I found out that my sister had access to the bank accounts and was helping herself.
Later, and after my mother was admitted into the home, my sister obtained lasting power of attorney for health and welfare. With this she managed to sell our mother s house. Is this legal?
