[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish we could get legislation passed where county employees (teachers, police, etc) who live outside the county would be taxed an additional 1%.  You all chose to move away to make your paychecks stretch farther.  You shouldn't get to enjoy MoCo COLA wages while living in Hagerstown.

If they get mad and leave, oh well.  Hope they enjoy working for the other districts that pay 25% less than MoCo.[/quote]

Many cannot afford to live in the county or they would.  Most teachers cannot afford it. [/quote]

Most teachers live in Montgomery County. Quit with the lie that they can't afford it. Lots of us live here on less than a teacher's salary. If they think they're too good to live the lives of the families of the kids they teach, that's a problem.[/quote]

What are you even talking about? You sound unhinged. We live in the DMV. Most people don't live in the city they work in. Grow up. Also- "cant afford to" isnt the same as "think they're too good" in any world.[/quote]

You sound like someone says "unhinged" and "grow up" when you don't like the facts. The facts are that the lowest paid MCPS employees live in Montgomery County at the highest rates and the highest paid employees live in Montgomery County at the lowest rates (administrators). Teachers live here at medium rates (approximately 60% of MCEA members live in the county which is why I said most). Another fact is that lots of people live in Montgomery County who couldn't dream of making what a teacher makes. Lots of them have kids that go to our schools.

What that means is that your claim that "most teachers cannot afford it" is just a lie. Most of them can and do afford it and if there are others who choose to live elsewhere, we need to stop acting like that's a crisis. It's not real.[/quote]

DP they make it sound like a crisis because they know the councilmembers are a bunch of scared little biches with no backbone who will cave and give them money we don't have

This budget is going to be a nightmare, there will be savings plans and furloughs [/quote]
