[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Erlich is horrible. Just horrible. The fact he will likely be back on the Council is a testament to the ignorance for voters [/quote]

Maybe, just maybe, you should try to understand why Elrich appeals to so many voters. It has nothing to do with those voters being ignorant.[/quote]

It absolutely does[/quote]

So get specific. Why do you not like Elrich and what appeals to the “ignorant” people who support him”?

I look at the range of contenders for at-large and other positions. Not a great choice in the bunch. At least Elrich, in my opinion, is grounded in facts and reality and is not pandering (looking at you Fani Gonzalez, Friedson, and Glass) to special interests. [/quote]

Not that poster. But Elrich budgets are sloppy and are the opposite of reflecting good governance. His talking point now is taxing corporations more than residents. Yet this is a state issue over which he has no control. He sucks at personal relationships so it's not like he'd ever be successful working with state level stakeholders to get a plan together and successfully across the finish line.

He constantly uses reserves to pay ongoing costs. He raids OPEB all the time.

You don't think he panders to special interests? He was SSJC's b**** and he decimated policing in the county as a result. Which influenced the increased crime here post covid. And while thr crime might not hurt you - it hurts the most vulnerable in the county.

He created an untenable collective bargaining structure where department heads don't get to bargain. It's all done by a separate office and that director lives out of state and is rarely here. Not sure she even showed up for budget hearings. It's all giveaways to the unions with no appropriate bargaining to maintain appropriate, safe, and accountable operations.  This is a direct and significant driver of the increased costs that are demanding increased revenues.

He often appoints incompetent people like a former fleet manager to be director of OHR or that police civilian deputy police Chief who had a complete public crash out.

County government is so much worse off under his "leadership."
