I'm still supporting Riemer and if you had any brains you would too. Development isn't bad and in the OP as stated hes the best of both worlds.

This post follow’s Riemer’s playbook: make sure you insult the other side.

Riemer lost me with his poor treatment of county employees. He is partly responsible for the demise of MCPD, which is why they are currently understaffed and struggling to fill recruit classes. He continues to attack them, refusing to acknowledge the very good work they already do. I’d be thrilled to hear that he went on a ride-along or attended the citizen’s academy so he could learn a little bit about them.

A vote for Reimer is a vote for Elrich.

How do you figure that?

Are you for real? Blair is financing his own campaign. He is beholden to no one. Reimer has been financed by developers for years

I'm not anti-development and don't actually consider that a big strike against Reimer, but come on . . . at least be honest. Trying to cast Blair as more pro-developer than Reimer is really disingenuous and flatly false.

It’s consistent with the Riemer supporters I know- “omg Blair used to be a republican, the horror!” and little else of substance.

Agreed- in another thread a poster claimed that Blair will give favors and stuff away to his friends. Based on what?

Riemer supporters take after their candidate, both are dishonest.

Because Riemer is obviously splitting the vote of people who are not inclined to vote for Elrich. Particularly since his negative campaign keeps trying to associate Blair with Trump Republicans. Totally sleazy.

But if the liberal vote is split between Elrich and Riemer, that would benefit Blair.

I'm with the OP. I can't get behind Blair and Elrich did a meh job these last few years. Will be voting for Reimer.

And for the record, I 100% agree with Reimer on getting rid of SROs.

Yeah it’s really hard to tell who Riemer is pulling votes from. His supporters seem very fixated on Blair not being a “real” democrat, but also criticize Elrich as too NIMBY. My guess is it’s a mix but could be wrong.

He will change his tune when his son gets to high school in the fall. He will see just how violent it is for boys.

Do you agree with HOW the decision was made? The Board’s panel included 3 students. Just 3. No community-wide survey was used to inform decisions. People who wanted to speak on behalf of SROs weren’t able to get slots during council hearings. Principals unanimously showed support for them, but council members with zero experience within schools ignored the principals’ experience.

Police aren’t inherently bad people. Reimer would like us all believe that they are. Whether or not SROs belong in schools is no longer the issue. The issue is how he pushed through his desire without paying any respect to voices who disagreed with him. He also intentionally painted officers as an enemy. He now stands on a platform of “rebuilding the community’s faith in the police” when he is partly responsible for any eroding trust within the county.

+100 & all the candidates know SROs are back in schools so focusing on them is a moot point.

With all of the recent Supreme Court rulings, I think having Democrats in charge across the board is not just my personal preference, but a good insurance policy for a very Blue community in a Blue state. I don't think Elrich works well with the Council & I do think we need to address the countywide housing shortage. Although I voted for Elrich last time, my vote is now 100% for Riemer. Blair isn't even a successful businessman (not like I would value that over experience as an elected official or in local government); his dad started his business, which Blair took over. Totally reminds me of Trump getting $1M from his dad & then folks crowing about what a successful businessman he is.
