[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a strange thread ... It reminds me of watching cable news ... just a bunch of shouting heads and aphorisms and little spoon-size bits of actual news.

I've lived all over MoCo ... Damascus, Silver Spring, Potomac and Chevy Chase ... and been happy living here, and I'm a moderate/liberal Dem who works for a Fortune 500 company.

I'll admit I'm not steeped in local politics, and appreciate the bits of argument about actual issues, whether its public transportation, tax rates, affordable housing or other topics ... but the hyperbolic "it's all going to hell" rhetoric just sounds like bar stool philosophy. [/quote]
I used to be right there with you but when the MCPS BOE started talking changing policies and ordering studies that hinted at busing, I started paying attention to the BOE, the CC, and the CE and am mortified by some of their priorities.  Our proximity to DC and NoVA means that no matter how bad our politicians are, MoCo will probably always be a decent place to live.  But quality of life and our ranking among other DC metro counties continues to fall.[/quote]

MCPS has been busing for [u]decades[/u]. Maybe you didn't notice?[/quote] 
They've done a little around the edges.  [b]But in 2018/19 there was a big push for countywide busing.  [/b]Thankfully the 2021 BOE doesn't seem as interested.  But we'll keep an eye on them.[/quote]

No, there wasn't. Please limit your spamming to the MCPS forum?[/quote]
