[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh. I thought it was because he sent over an operating budget built on one time revenues that won’t sustain annual spending moving forward. Or a  capital budget that was $70 million over spending affordability guidelines.

He has run the county into the ground. [/quote]
Hans Riemer, who is running against him, has been on the County Council for the last 12 years serving in various capacities as the Council President and chair of the PHED committee which is responsible for housing and economic development. The County Council in Montgomery County has more power than the County Executive and is responsible for setting the operating budget.

So every Elrich failure is actually an even bigger Riemer failure. [/quote]

Not letting Council off the hook. But when they constantly have to repair a bad budget, we all lose. They all prioritize their pet projects instead of shoring up core public services.   And that’s why the county is going downhill. Fast.
