WV is actually a really nice place to live. Lots of fed employees live in JeffCo and commute on the MARC Brunswick line. Thousands of them.

Then OP should definitely go there, no?

This 'love it or leave attitude' isn't useful when a county needs to retain as many tax paying residents as possible in order to maintain the level of services some people have come to expect? This boundary study is sure to leave taxpayers upside down on their mortgages. Such a short-sighted move will require taxes to be raised elsewhere. Growth in MoCo is stagnant. We need to hold proper discussion.

Montgomery County is one of the richest counties in the nation. I don't think we have to worry about taxpayers leaving. If anything, growth is what's driving people away.

Trump was elected because white people in this country have become increasingly radicalized by a white supremacist ideology that the GOP has low-key embraced for years. Trump didn't create the modern GOP, but he rode that wave of Caucasian resentment to the White House.

When it comes to MoCo, PP is absolutely right. I can disagree with some things that Erlich and the council are doing, but if my choice is "farther left that I really care for" or "the party of the Confederate Flag and babies in cages," them I'm voting for the Democrats every single time.

Three million more people voted against him than voted for him. That's not riding a wave into the white house. Those who voted against him -- the majority of Americans -- are disgusted and appalled by him.

You are counting the illegals who voted right? Just get it correct when you speak of the majority of "Americans."

Try again Illegals didn't vote. Voter fraud basically non existent. Keep touting your non facts!

Plenty of voter fraud. In some states, it’s actually quite easy to commit voter fraud and it definitely goes on. Montgomery County chooses to not ask for ID and it is easy to vote in someone else’s place if you know that person will not be voting. As long as you know their address.

Dp. A Democratic Party official for my LD called me to ask me if an in-law family member was living at their former address in the same LD, where they were registered as a Republican. I was taken aback they felt it was okay to comb through the Republican voter rolls of our heavily Democratic enrolled LD, and call me while the party was nationally forwarding the point of view purging voter rolls is a means to disenfranchise voters. Interesting.

Too bad we can't agree on such a basic thing such as purging voters who are not eligible to vote, alive, or have moved permanently.

There is NO excuse for not requiring an ID to vote. No excuse.

It is SO easy to vote under another person’s name in MoCo. I have posted on here before that I have a family member who does this. She votes for her sister, because she knows she never votes herself. Plus, with mail-in ballots, it’s even easier.

Do you think that it will remain one of the richest counties? Importing large numbers of poor immigrants will not maintain the status quo. You may want to import the poverty, but at least admit that it will change the tax base. Especially when many of these immigrants work for cash only.

This is such a huge joke. We have "no" voter fraud because we make it impossible for anyone to investigate without being called racists. The states where they try to purge voter rolls of people who have moved, died or registered in "error" then get attacked as Jim Crow states. Anyone with a brain who has been to a DMV knows that illegals register to vote and I'm sure plenty of them vote.

Uh, didn't Trump investigate voter fraud already? Then let the 'report' die quietly because there was one? Wasn't that one of the very first things Donald Trump wasted tax dollars on -- investigating voter fraud? Yes, I think it was. No, sorry, it was second. The first thing was verifying the number of people at the inaugural parade. I forgot....

The Commission was dissolved after no states would provide their data.

I think they did find some cases... like that R who was registered in FL and NY to vote. LOL

Even red states didn't want to share their data.

https://www.npr.org/2018/01/03/575524512/trump-dissolves-controversial-election-commission

It was also shut down because the commission refused to share any info they found, to Dems in the commission. It became partisan rather than fact finding. Big surprise. Also, one of the folks on the commission died, and another was arrested for possession of child porn.

Reported revenues are down $99 Million dollars from the estimates for this year. Loss of 5000 jobs. You can keep burying your head in the sand but MoCo is not growing and kepp putting nails in the coffin to make things worse such as the anticipated "boundary change" busing scenario.

You need people with good jobs to pay taxes to have revenues increase. Until the Council gets serious about makign the County business friendly it will get worse.

They're not "MoCo" residents, obviously. Ever heard of the internet? Trolling? Tor? Any news since 2016, at all?

Immigrants work hard. They take care of people's children, clean their homes, cut their lawns, pave the road, bus the dishes off the tables in restaurants, renovate their homes, and on and on and on. Rich people need immigrants, now and forever. We're lucky that doing these gross jobs, for cash under the table, is a step up from their own countries otherwise wealthy people wouldn't be able to make use of them. It's win-win.

Yep. This is why there is such a push for welcoming illegal immigration. Why pay more for your lawn service when someone will do it for dirt cheap? Why bother with OSHA regulations if you’re a contractor? Easier to hire illegal immigrants who won’t report violations anyway.

It pays big time for the wealthy to embrace illegal immigration because they are the ones benefiting from it.

As long as that is the case, nobody has much incentive to fix the illegal immigration problem.

You could always get cheap foreign labor using H2Bs like Trump does for his resorts. It's not like those visa holders will report OSHA violations, and some overstay their visas to become illegal immigrants.

Yes. That works also. It’s a fantastic system that wealthy business owners have been exploiting for decades to get cheap labor. All while screwing the middle class worker.

Leftism is FAILING.

If Montgomery County were a standalone and not adjacent to other prosperous jurisdictions it would go the way of Venezuela. I am not exaggerating.
Venezuela was once a wealthy country with natural resources and a well-educated population.
After two decades of Bolivarism/Bolivarian Revolution, they have a grossly managed economy run by egotistical dictators and a starving population.

This is literally what has happened to Montgomery County under Elrichism.
