Advocates weigh in at a May 1 Montgomery County Council hearing on legal aid for immigrants. Also Tuesday, the council moved to revise a proposed zoning amendment designed to attract a signature business headquarters to the county. The council did not change its stance on a separate budget provision that would keep storm water management mostly in-house. Leggett wanted to spend $48 million on a design-build-maintain contract to remediate roughly 530 acres of storm water runoff. Leggett spokesman Patrick Lacefield said the county executive will issue a rare line-item veto of the storm water management funding when the council sends the budget over.
