Mark your calendars

It's budget time in Guilford County, and various agencies will soon parade before the commissioners and ask for more money. The board will try to pass the spending plan later this month.

Commissioners will meet four times this week (see the schedule below), first hearing from agencies and then from residents. Note Wednesday's session, when Guilford County schools officials meet with the board. The schools have asked for $14.6 million more than they received last year, but some commissioners seem disinclined to grant even half that.

The last meeting is a public hearing, where all residents can gripe about the proposed $507.8 million spending plan.
