[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As much as I would like to see this happen, it simply won't.

People don't vote in local elections in this county. The turnout numbers are dismal. Most residents are completely unaware of the council and the executive. Apathy rules. The cabal of think tank wonks+developers+social science phd brigade know this and actively work to ensure that it stays this way. This way they can cram through experimental pet projects and dish out tax payers money to their favorite non profit organizations like Halloween candy to ensure those non-profits' CEO's earn their $180K salaries. Oh, and bike lanes that no one uses.

Thank you for those who posted the previous links. Very useful information there.

If there is anyone out there who knows of an organization or group that would like to meet and brainstorm a way to counter the current iron grip of virtue warriors and get information to every resident that spells out exactly how their tax dollars are wasted, please link away.

I don't have a lot of free time, but if there's a group out there that will work to return the county back to common sense governance - I will offer everything that I've got. [/quote]

Jawando's chief of staff just quit and now heads up Ranked Choice Voting Maryland. Ranked choice voting will make candidates actually listen and address various voter viewpoints and tends to be beneficial to more moderate candidates.[/quote]
