[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Floreen because even though she is tied to developers, if she wins this race it will be because of areas like Bethesda that finally turned over the Silver Spring monopoly on county politics, power and policies. If enough people in Bethesda believe as you do she'll have to align with the base that put her in office. She'll direct developers toward other areas to retain power.

I agree with other posters that Ehrlich only has contempt for Bethesda and will only work toward improving TP and Silver Spring. He wont stop the over development of Bethesda because its his piggy bank for the projects he wants to do in the east. If Ehrlich wins, Bethesda is screwed.

Agree with others that Ficker is too unstable and no idea what he would do. [/quote]

I live right in/near downtown Bethesda and it's completely wrong that Elrich has contempt for Bethesda.  (NOTE Ehrlich was the republican governor of MD, Elrich is the democrat running for MoCo executive-- if you can't even get that right how is anyone supposed to believe you know what you are talking about?)

Elrich has been to our community meetings and talked about how he wants to plan for a county that works for people living here now, which is why he supports staging development so that roads and schools aren't afterthoughts.

Floreen just flat out refused to come talk to us, and never answered my emails (although she did put me on her email list-- thanks, Nancy).

If you want more development then go ahead and vote for Floreen, but saying that Floreen will manage development in downtown Bethesda better than Elrich is like Martha McSally saying she lead the fight to protect people with preexisting conditions.[/quote]
