Seeking to overcome a potential budget shortfall of nearly $100 million in the tightening economy, the Prince George's County Council voted yesterday to raise the county's income tax and the recordation tax levied on home sales.
The council members voted 8 to 0 with one abstention, offering no public comment as they approved the two tax increases that were proposed by County Executive Jack B. Johnson (D). The panel is scheduled to vote on Johnson's proposed $2.67 billion budget today.
