She's one of my favorites. I don't always agree with her but she's the only one who seems genuine when she speaks.

Not my experience. She talks out of both sides of her mouth and is clearly in the pocket of developers in the county. How else to explain a 20 year, 100% tax abatement for developers putting the entirety of impact costs on taxpayers. Dooms quality of life, especially in her district. We already struggle with infrastructure and outdated, overcrowded schools.

Fani Gonzalez is rude and dismissive whenever someone disagrees with her and does not seem to know what’s in the bills she’s sponsoring.

Yes! Exactly. I asked her a question about Impact Taxes at a listening session and A) she pretended that she hasn’t consistently voted to allow developers not to pay impact taxes and B) rolled her eyes at me when I asked the question.

She also tried to say that Marc Elrich is the problem even though he’s been vocal about ensuring developers pay impact taxes.

Goldberg is political hack that doesn't have what it takes to be a good council member.

He wants the legacy to continue??


Nah. He just needs a paycheck


He doesn't need the money. He is a workaholic.

Isn't Elrich going to be 80 years old? Don't both he and his partner have excellent pensions coming their way? RETIRE already. I honestly don't understand people who can afford to retire but won't. Should any of us be so lucky.

I wish they'd have more of a backbone and not give huge increases to MCPS all the time. It's such a racket.
