I know that a lot of DCUM despises now-County-Executive Elrich  but I've been in the "give him a chance" camp, and it looks like he's at least trying to move in the right direction. He's had to make some unpopular cuts because of the budget shortfall but this is where he's making some good choices. Apparently they are taking lower administrative salaries too.

Also worth noting, Elrich plans on recruiting tech business from the West Coast - while also forgoing the overseas trips on taxpayer dime, which Ike Leggett did take. Ive so far been cautiously optimistic and encouraged about Elrich's steps to make the county more business friendly and less bureaucratic.

One thing, however, is that I'd like Marc to be more specific about what he says about having a "racial equity lens." What does this even mean? He's never been specific about it, and I'm hoping it doesn't mean having some fluff feel-good diversity department that does nothing. That said, this news is encouraging and I'm beginning to think I can take his recent pro-business pivot more seriously. [/quote]
