Unions to face off with Montgomery Co. Council, residents over raises

The Montgomery County Council on Monday will debate three polarizing contract agreements that would give thousands of union employees double-digit pay raises over two years, the Washington Examiner reported.

The unions struck the deals with County Executive Isiah Leggett after months of bargaining.
