The budget for fiscal 2013, unveiled Monday, does not include furloughs for county workers for the first time in 2 years.

Leopold says budget choices were more difficult than in previous years.

The county likely will get $13 million less in state funding than expected. The Capital of Annapolis (http://bit.ly/HXTwth) reports that Leopold's proposal allocates $572.5 million for county schools, and will add 62 teachers.

The County Council has until May 31 to approve Leopold's plan or develop a new one.
