Report certainly destroys the illusion that Montgomery County is doing well.  I am a Democrat and County resident.  I find the current political leadership appalling.  The County has budget issues, and all the County wants to do is to tax more.  It already has one of the highest tax burdens in the region.  More taxes will simply drive upper income residents out of the County.  Close-in County residents will move across the border to DC, with its lower tax burden.  Upper upper income folks will move to  second homes in Florida or elsewhere.  County is attracting low income residents, while turning away high income residents.  Note very low growth in income tax revenues.  Great economic model.  Our region has boomed over the last 10 plus years.  Tax revenues should be up.  But not in the County.  What happens when the likely recession occurs in the next few years.  The County's political leadership is clueless.

Who is talking about more taxes? Because I don’t hear it. Is this just your fear?[/quote]
