Speaker 1, an unidentified meeting participant, urged residents at a St. Mary’s County meeting to attend a budget work session and described the county’s budget season as “one of the toughest” they had experienced.
The comments underscored the pressure officials face as they finalize allocations for the coming year. Speaker 1 said the budget process has been difficult and quoted what they described as a commitment from Commissioner Hewitt to try to distribute benefits broadly: “As Commissioner Hewitt said, ‘we're gonna make sure that everybody at least gets something, and do the best that we can for everybody,’” Speaker 1 said. Speaker 1 added, “It might not be everything you want, but everybody walk away with with having something.”
Speaker 1 also encouraged the public to “tune in to the budget work session” scheduled for the afternoon, saying more work remained to finalize the budget. No formal vote or budget decision was recorded in the remarks provided; the statements reflected discussion and a call for public engagement rather than a binding action.
