[quote=Anonymous]Many voters -in fact I'd guess most beyond areas in TP and close in Silver Spring are more of the middle of the road Democrats. Even in Silver Spring people are more moderate they just keep it quiet since there are so many loud mouths on either extreme. Jealous is too far left and Hogan has been relatively harmless for a Republican. Its not different than the moderate Republicans in Virginia voting for a moderate Democrat for their Gov over a far right conservative.

I have neighbors that very supportive of the proposal and the sections on improving Baltimore schools by redirecting money that now goes back to MoCo. They are convinced that are either Amazon is coming to White Flint or that there will be a special Montgomery County tax collected only from Potomac and Bethesda residents to refund the rest of the schools. I'm not banking on either of those things happening.  I have not seen one supporter of Kirwan give any plausible alternative to what has been discussed in Annapolis about changing the distribution of state funds for education. Heck even Ike Legget who is pretty liberal opposed the Kirwan plan.

The ONLY people up in arms about the school calendar change seem to be MCPS employees. I don't care whether school starts after or before labor day. Most everyone that I know is more angry about all the random one day and half day holidays/professional days/whatever. We could have a normal length spring break if MCPS wouldn't cling to all the constant mini days off. [/quote]
