Esther is pretty clueless about most things and I don't get how she works full-time yet spends her days on social media and campaigning for others. Dawn is a nut job who blocks people who disagree and ask hard questions. |
+1 Fact remains the board is in a bad state because they "yes maam" each other and takes things way too far on the progressives side. That is exactly why I'm voting for Diaz. One dissenting vote on the board is a great start. She may not be the perfect candidate but I guarantee she would have pushed back and asked some questions about McKnight rather than letting her run amok and having to pay her off mega bucks to leave. The board is broken. Things are bad. Companies who have moved to montgomery county to provide good education for their employees children are watching. We need to get back to sanity. |
Companies don’t move to Montgomery county. Be real. |
We are the 3rd largest biopharma hub in the US. For now...... I'm not sure why people would move here to work for them though. The traffic stinks, there little nature left unless you go to Virginia or the mountains, and now the schools are terrible. |
I’ll have to disagree with you there. Montgomery county has a ton of nature and parkland. Vastly more than NoVa which let developers just clear cut and drop townhomes everywhere. |
It has some but the county will sell it off soon enough. |
Esther Wells is a budget genius. That is why MCPS could not let her be on the BOE. |
She doesn’t come across as such. |
MoCo has the Agricultural Reserve, which takes up 1/3 of the area of the county. They will not sell it off. They are so stubbon that this is why we don't have a second Potomac crossing -- a few miles of such a road would cut through a small edge of the Ag Reserve, so it's a no-go. You can see both sides have already built part of it -- look at VA-28 on the VA side, and I-370 on the MD side. Draw aline to connect them, and that's the second Potomatc crossing that will never happen. |
The voters did not think so. |
Same. DH And I voted for Diaz. The BOE is a mess and we have watched MCPS decline over the past decade. We need some balance. |
MCPS had a ridiculous vaccine mandate for kids who wanted to play sports. My DC never got it, but I know quite a few families who reluctantly either got the Covid shot for their kids unnecessarily because of the ridiculous MCPS vaccine mandate for sports. |
Try comparing the entire state to state. Oh! you just lost your argument! I live 2 hours out of Nova in grand VA wilderness you can only imagine. and yes I know MD extremely well having lived there |
She definitely does not come across as someone who is a genius in any capacity. I’m sorry your standards are so low. Grateful that the rest of the county has functioning brains and did not vote her into office. |
She does and is an incredible advocate for accountability. That is why it is so important for you to attack her. You have to protect your free lunch. |
