[quote=Anonymous]The general issue is that:
a) The MoCo way. They always want to develop their own metrics and procedures, instead of following the state.
b) MoCo leadership takes forever to make decisions.

Notice other counties aren't complaining about Hogan's announcement yesterday. Most of them just follow state guidelines. That's simple, it's developed by experts, and it makes it easy for citizens of MD to follow since it's state-wide. For example, MoCo's reopening is tied to vaccination rate. MD's is based on hospitalizations, new case rate, and positivity rate -- which by the way are the same metrics MoCo decided on when justifying closing schools and businesses.

Whenever Hogan releases an order, and note his latest was 7 pages, 2 pages being legal filler that override his previous orders, MoCo takes days or even a week or two to react to it. It's not a huge book -- it's a few pages. I read it in about 5 minutes.

I live in another county in MD and we just follow the state. So much easier.

Maybe when I go pick up my kids from in-person school (we've been open since mid-February), we'll stop by the library to browse and check out books (also open). Meanwhile in MoCo, the libraries still haven't finished a plan on how to reopen to the public.

Sure, you can say MoCo is big and it's hard to plan, but Fairfax County is about the same size and budget, and I can walk into their libraries. MoCo incompetence, in my eyes.[/quote]
