[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowie incorporated and it was pretty great for Bowie as it allowed them to create a supplemental police force to patrol for property crimes (county handles more serious crimes), snow plows, and a super parks system. I’m not sure the benefit is there for bethesda. And the county system is constitutional in Md, so there’s no seceding—a house dividing against itself…. I think it would take a state constitutional amendment to split the county. [/quote] Eventually Bethesda and Silver Spring will need to incorporate. If anything the upcounty areas will demand it so that they can have more effective government in unincorporated areas. [/quote] Many areas in upcounty have been incorporated for at least 100 years… Gaithersburg Rockville Poolesville Laytonsville Washington Grove Brookeville[/quote]
