It truly could go this way. You are not exaggerating. |
See this crap above is exactly why Blair lost again. If you have to make up total BS “those crazy progressives” narratives about your opponent then you have already lost. |
Extremely scary how possible this is. |
| My drop box vote for Elrich was finally counted. Is there some tally of how many votes are left? |
|
Counting is all finished. Elrich won by 42 votes!! Go Elrich!! |
Will Jawando? |
smaller than last election. His popularity is declining. |
I don’t know. Maybe you can ask the police if there are any left to check the drop boxes. Hope you enjoy crime as it’s what you voted for. |
No we are not going to relax. Hopefully more people will move. |
I bet they are going to do a recount. Ugh Elrich is the worst |
We're already there: https://mocoshow.com/blog/montgomery-county-completes-high-road-economic-inclusion-framework-for-an-equitable-climate-ready-economy-report-addressing-climate-change-equity-economic-development/ Montgomery County Completes ‘High Road Economic Inclusion Framework for an Equitable Climate-Ready Economy’ Report Addressing Climate Change, Equity, Economic Development The Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in partnership with other County departments, agencies and community business stakeholders, has completed the High Road Economic Inclusion Framework for an Equitable Climate-Ready Economy report that lays out a set of integrated strategies addressing climate change, equity and economic development. The analysis, conducted by Emerald Cities Collaborativeand its subcontractors, Inclusive Economics and Health Care Without Harm, focuses on the need to actively align the County workforce and small business ecosystems. It also recommends leveraging partnerships with large “anchor institutions” to advance climate action and economic inclusion. |
on the face of it, what's wrong with that? Climate change is real. Everyone needs to do their part. I don't have a problem with helping the poor, even with my tax dollars. I realize not everyone cares about poor people, though. Not sure what's wrong with trying to get businesses to hire more under served communities. |
Then bring in more climate-friendly businesses! What's wrong is the several hundred thousand dollar "study" to produce this "report" which consists of a progressive word salad. This doesn't actually bring in any new business or help any poor people or reduce any emissions. The jobs it does create are government bureaucrat paper-pushing jobs. Get ready for Elrich to hire more Climate Equity Officers in his next term, paid for by your taxes. If there is an industry around studies, work groups, task forces, equity commissions, etc... then MoCo is a national leader in that industry. All nonsense work that does nothing. Get ready for this conversation through 2026: MoCo Resident: My taxes are too high, my job moved to Virginia and I'm stuck in traffic all day! And then my car got broken into and my kids aren't learning anything at school! MoCo Council: Oh, bummer, that's terrible. It's all Marc Elrich's fault, I'm going to tweet about it! MoCo resident: How does that help me any? MoCo Council: More tweets! MoCo resident: Elrich, do something? Elrich: *Ignores* MoCo resident: I'm an LGBTQ immigrant of color, help me! Elrich: OK, let's form a task force to commission a study on the racial equity and climate justice impacts of. . . MoCo resident: *Becomes NoVa resident* |
It's truly remarkable how people eat this garbage up. They sell progress when in reality all they're doing is massively overpaying a whole bunch flimsy liberal arts degree holders in silver spring and Takoma park to do 'consulting' or pay their leech community activist org to do 'a study'. Millions of taxpayer dollars flushed down the toilet on this pork. They sell progress while lining their own pockets. |
