The worst was when Riemer wrote a tax subsidy specifically for Mitchell Rales, the richest man in Maryland and pushed it through the council. |
Rales donated a lot of money to Riemer before Riemer got taxpayers to finance his campaigns. |
Riemer took Rales money to give them a sewer exception and then to reduce his annual property tax bill from about $450k to $70k, which resulted in thr billionaire getting a tax refund from the county of over $370k. It’s impossible to point to anything that Riemer has done as councilmember that has shown a shred of integrity. |
Riemer was comparatively cheap. Leggett and Berliner each took tens of thousands of dollars. Riemer only took $4,000. |
This is probably the most insane thing about Riemer, that he’s also just so incompetently corrupt. How can he be bought so obviously cheaply? Rales probably, and rightfully, identified him as a mark and Berliner and Leggett took all the cash and made Riemer the patsy. How is he so impossibly stupid? I just don’t know. |
It’s a great question but somehow I am less angry that he’s sold the county so short when I see him selling himself so short. |
The reason for his lack of political friends and endorsements certainly becomes clearer and clearer. Doesn’t seem to be well respected or trusted by anyone and I think we all know why. |
| One thing weird about Blair is he seems to have absolutely no personality. |

Riemer stands are spamming my neighborhood list with attacks on Blair.
I don't even want to vote for Blair, but I cannot get over how Riemer has run a campaign that seems 100% negative at every turn, starting with the moment he began his last term as a council member. |
| Takoma Park here and I am voting for Blair. I wish he wouldn’t count TP out, I know I am not alone (although I would not dare put up a yard sign). |
Riemer’s entire campaign, including his use of office in furtherance of his campaign and the behavior of his campaign supporters, is a testament to the person he is. |
And Elrich and Riemer do? |
|
Riemer purchased the county government email list. Hucker did too. I keep getting Riemer emails even though I didn't sign up for them. Just got one today that says,
"Hello – I was checking our donor records and saw that you’ve chipped in so far to Hans. Just wanted to make sure that was correct." Like a little space is left to insert how much I donated to him. And yet....I've never contributed. Why start an email off like that? |
He’s intentionally using deceptive fundraising behavior because he has low ethics and thinks that you are dumb. This is the premise of Hans Riemer: (1) low ethics, and (2) a dumb guy that thinks he’s smarter than everyone. |
Riemer has a personality, but it's a turn off. Elrich doesn't have a big personality. There's an opening here for Blair to show just a hint of charisma. |
