| I'm voting for Floreen. MoCo needs more attention to development and business / jobs. |

I'm 11:55. This is an example of what I'm talking about, "developers" are bad according to this person. Apparently all companies that build anything in Montgomery County are bad companies by this person's standard since they're all "developers". These are straw-man arguments with no substance. Every home started as some developers project. What specifically do these people think is so bad that's being developed? Crown Farm? Clarksburg? What? They don't want to tell you because it's easier to say "developers" are the problem. If some company converting a farm into a new housing development or some green space into a new shopping mall or adding a couple of lanes to the freeway is the big political hot button then you know Montgomery County has it good. Almost every other county in the country would be pleased to have wider roads, more housing, and more businesses. |

+1. I’d like to put up a Floreen sign in front of my house in the Takome Park trapezoid, but I am frankly afraid of the Elrich gang. |

Elrich has a gang? Is Takoma Park's "voting rights for noncitizens" leading people to a conspiracy theory that MS-13 will choose our next County Executive?

Why would MS13 care which candidate won County Executive? None are tough on crime. The differences are economic. Floreen is a better bet to recover tax revenues through business development and Ehrlich is a better bet to recover tax revenues through high taxes on residents. I don't think the gangs care either way. |

Because developers make a lot of money building housing on former green space and then we end up with overcrowded roads and schools. The debate isn't over whether to more development but whether to make sure we have the road and school infrastructure in place first-- that's wht Elrich means when he talks about staged development. |

| And actually if you want some examples look at the 17 story buildings that have been built/planned for downtown Bethesda. Council figured no families would live in them because they are apts-- so right there we're screwed on school capacity. Downtown Bethesda will be way more urban/dense than DC in the next 5-10 years, and it's already almost impossible to drive down Wisconsin. |

A statement for what? You want to put power in the hands of a nationally known crackpot, just for kicks? Haven’t we BTDT? Better choice with Floreen. Sounds like you’re coming to your senses. |

| It is actually so interesting because if the Republicans put forth almost anyone besides a crazy man, they would be a shoo in... |

| Ficker has my vote specifically because of the term limits getting on the ballot. He brought back some sensibility and local power back into the hands of the people. If people want to consider him insane for that .....oh well! |

How many times has Ficker been disbarred now?
Floreen is terrible. It’s politicians like her who are the reason gov le page got elected in Maine. She’s dividing the vote and now ficker, who is an idiot, has a slight chance. Plus, just what we need floreen whose hands are in the wallets of the developers. Now we can get more million dollar townhomes and more congestion on our roads!!!! You all deserve to have your right to vote taken awayz |
