Tensions Rise Over Grants to Community Groups

Tensions Rise Over Grants to Community Groups: "As the Montgomery County Council neared final approval of a $4 billion operating budget yesterday, some of the most heated debate was over how to spread the wealth among a wide variety of nonprofit organizations that say they depend on public dollars to fund their programs.
