If your husband actually works at HQ and knew you were posting this sort of stuff, he would likely be very displeased with you. If not, I am disgusted as a taxpayer.

Let me guess, you and your husband are white and republican and he's pushing for a Trump win to make sure this move doesn't happen so that he doesn't have to go to PG County?


Wow, just wow. Are you the same level of upset at the shenanigans that Steny Hoyer pulled at the 11th hour in order to change the criteria to favor a location in Maryland? And none of this information is classified in any way - someone leaked it to Fox 5 today and then the other news outlets picked it up. There was no formal announcement. We may be surprised where the chips land in the end. FWIW the feeling among most people is that the FBI belongs in the District for proximity to the courts and main Justice, as DOJ leaders meet very often in person.

nothing will increase property values in pg - it's pg.

They should have made the location contingent on infrastructure improvements by Maryland. A new American Legion bridge, a new river crossing at route 28, and the continuation of 495 express lanes to 95.

And you are a racist. Many parts of PG are actually very nice places to live, but most of DCUM will continue holding their noses and being racist, while telling themselves that it isn't racism. No, PG isn't perfect, but no place is and there is no reason for all the vitriol.

i think you are projecting here... it has nothing to do with race - and i agree with you, although there are some really awful pockets in pg, there are also some nice places to live. but, there is a long and well documented history of mismanagement and dysfunction in govt. at the local level in pg; things have gotten a little better but it still lags. so, i stand by my statement - nothing will increase property values in pg, mostly because it's pg.

Eh, I don’t really care about the location but this could have been used to incentivize Maryland to upgrade its roads and bridges.

When 95% of the organization is going to have to commute...yeah. Fun. But I bet the admin team doesn't have to commute.

Good luck attracting civilians and contractors to that location!

I am a civilian... living in that location. I'm looking around and it's... a nice place to live... so not sure what the issue is?

The scope of local government corruption in PG will give the FBI public integrity squad plenty to do in their own backyard.
