[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At one point in the meeting, a community member brought up the point that the county won’t talk to the community. They will only discuss certain aspects with Dawn Ludke and to ask her. But when the community asked her, she angrily replied that she would not break privileged information to answer our questions!

Nobody’s asking her to break privilege or to break the law, but only asking for answers.[/quote]

She made it clear she wasn't interested in being re-elected, or serving her community. She should just resign if she hates the job so much.[/quote]

She won’t resign, and she likely has higher political aspirations.

Her husband worked for Governor Wes Moore and held an elected position at the state level himself.

If she doesn’t fix this, then voters will need to be reminded of her failure as well as her attitude. [/b]

Ditto for Craig Zucker who lives in the neighborhood impacted by this (a stone’s throw from the school). He could do something to help at the state level, and he could voice something at the local level.

These two elected “leaders” have been silent publicly. And Councilmember Luedtke opted to insult her constituents at the meeting last night rather than take a stand and attempt to lead.

There must be better options for leaders. [/quote]

[b]Local politicians don't care.  [/b]Voters in this county vote for the same types of politicians over and over.  It's clear MoCo local politicians are more concerned with their own political aspirations than with actually serving the population.  [/quote]

Bingo.  Especially, when "local" means [u]serving [/u] a county of 1M+.    Who exactly is being served here?  Not the taxpayers who live there and send their kids to school there.

I grew up in a wonderful suburb in PA.    Local govt. meant local to your town--not some county elected officials living elsewhere determining the zoning for your neighborhood.    School location aside, you now have 16+ members added to your cul-de-sac who essentially live in a business.   People need treatment.   We have more than enough commercially adjacent property in this huge county to care for them appropriately, and leave the SFH streets, exactly as they were intended--as Single Family Homes.
