[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MoCo is a complete mess. The past decade has been a disaster on all fronts. No new industries while VA, DC, Howard and even Frederick have been growing. Poverty is increasing in the east and up county areas. School system has dropped from being 1st in the state to being 9th in the state. Tax revenues are declining, debt service is increasing, no new funds for schools and the Kirwan commission is likely to reallocate 20-70% of state funding  from MCPS to Baltimore so its all going to get worse.

The intra-county rivalry seems to be between the west which is sitting there wondering what happened and why they are still paying for all this and the east which keeps making dumb policies and thinks its deserves more and more resources from the west. The rural areas to the far west and north are basically ignored. I'd gather that no one in SS or Bethesda could find Dickerson on a map. They think Poolesville is in Potomac and no one ever traveled to Clarksburg before the outlets opened.

I agree with the second paragraph, not the first.  The west county are the first to name call the west and the west county are the first to name call the east.  Really, we all want the same things:  strong economy, great schools, less traffic congestion, etc.  [/quote]
