[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 1. Elrich is not a progressive. He is a person who wants to do what "the people" want, and if "the people" don't want more housing or bike lanes or whatever - which they often don't, because "the people" incline to be NIMBYs - then he doesn't either. [/quote] Elrich will do what the unions want. They contributed over $1mln to his campaign (via PACs). "The people" want MoCo to get out of the alcohol monopoly business for example. The unions don't want to lose those 300 union jobs (even though most proposals would allow the retail stores to stay, just they'd be competing with private stores). That's why we still have the monopoly -- it's what his benefactors want.[/quote]
