[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The wildest part is Elrich (who has always been shall we say "unique" as a politician and in his communications), isnt shying away from it, at all.

99% of politicians in any state or county would at least know that a 10% property tax hike is going to be politically unpopular, if not personal political suicide.  He's practically proud of it. [/quote]

He got reelected again. I mean people know his deal, he has always been like this. [/quote]

Blair may have spent a ton of money in the election, but he was terrible in actually making clear how he would have been different. And Elrich seized on an issue that MoCo voters do care about by acting as though he is not in the pocket of developers (while Blair definitely was). It's too bad there aren't better candidates in these races.[/quote]

I don’t buy that.  Elrich just took advantage of the fact that the opposition to him was split among a few candidates.  One on one vs Blair he would have lost by huge amounts.  [/quote]

So if things would have been different, things would have been different?

The fact is that county voters elected Elrich to county-wide office in 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022. [/quote]

My only point is that his re-election wasn’t some kind of mandate for tax increases.  Any council member voting for this needs to keep in mind that Elrich got less than 40% in the dem primary.  They may not have the advantage of a split opposition in their next race.[/quote]

It might not be a mandate [u]for[/u] tax increases, but it is also not a mandate [u]against[/u] tax increases.[/quote]
