[quote=Anonymous][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]

I didn’t even vote for him, but at this point he might be the only thing saving us from the county council and the planning board.[/quote]

Also elected by voters: the members of the county council.[/quote]

As was Donald Trump at one time, and so might be Ron DeSantis.

So, should we just lay back and enjoy it if that happens?  Or should we respond to their actions?[/quote]
