[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the county website and other articles, Glass, Jawando, and Riemer all live in Silver Spring.  Albornoz lives in Kensington.  At large seats result in a ton of Silver Spring representation on the council.  One part of the county is being disproportionately overrepresented.  The whole "four at-large candidates result in you having five reps" is a straw man argument intended to preserve the at-large members' jobs.  C = No.  D = Yes.  [/quote]

Agree.  The only people that get five reps are those living down county.[/quote]

That's exactly how it plays out. [/quote]

Wow, so when people from upcounty call the at-large reps about an upcounty issue they're like "tough luck, I don't care about you, haha!"?[/quote]

They don't say it exactly how you said it, they do it with a bit more tact, but you essentially get redirected to your district member as another poster mentioned.  It does go on the record as being responsive as someone did respond, but they accomplished absolutely nothing and got credit for doing something.  Worst system ever.  [/quote]
