“Local governments across the nation have been forced to rethink and revise plans at every turn to respond to a dynamic situation and, to the credit of our employees, department heads and elected leaders, Whatcom County government has performed admirably in these difficult circumstances,” Executive Sidhu said in his budget message. “It is in this context, acknowledging both the limitations of our foresight and the need for flexibility, that I present my proposed budget for the 2021-2022 biennium.”
