A Maryland judge heard the case of a $39 million transfer from the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission to Prince George’s County coffers.
The M-NCPPC claims the transfer is unlawful and asked for a temporary restraining order to stop the transfer, which is supposed to happened July 1.
“The money that they’re taking — and that’s what it is — it’s a raid of our budget,” said Manuel Geraldo of M-NCPPC.
The county defended its actions in court, and the judge declined to make an immediate decision.
Opponents of the transfer say the council is taking commission money to fund pet projects and nonprofits, jeopardizing Park and Planning jobs and services.
