[quote=Anonymous]Awful. The whole system is broken. This is what happens when  politicians hand out leadership positions to their friends and supporters rather than treating them like a job and focusing on competence. You get incompetent people who are more concerned with promoting themselves than they are with managing a government agency. Steve Silverman, who would have been Bang's boss, was a disaster. How could he not notice this happening?

Elrich will be more of the same. Voted for term limits to get new blood in?  Watch -- I guarantee you that both Roger Berliner and George Leventhal will be named directors of County departments. Probably big ones too, like HHS. Nevermind that the primaries showed that the voters of Montgomery County clearly did not want these two making anymore decisions for us.

Ike Leggett's statement said that the County had retained independent auditors to look into it. I hope that report is released.

And even though I doubt he'll be any better, I hope, really, really hope, that Elrich will put the County above politics and make some smart decisions. Heading government agencies should be about the best person for the job, not rewarding your supporters. And we need to cut WAY back on our community grants until we fix our schools and infrastructure. We need to fix the foundation before adding more stories.
