[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't like Friedson bc he totally protected Potomac (his hometown) ONLY with some other stuff months back.

However, he is one of the only 2 sane people who voted against this absolute bs.

So ppl making just over 150k as a family are gonna get socked with more taxes plus the credit is eliminated, SO THAT MCPS CAN CONTINUE TO BE ENABLED TO BE INCOMPETENT.

Great.

I am DONE with all the other council members including Evan Glass.  byeeeeeee

Friedson didn't offer any solutions. He voted for the county employee raised without discussion. He voted against tax increases. He made no comprehensive proposal for spending cuts. He has demonstrated a total failure of leadership this cycle.

The smart thing for the Council to have done would have been to reduce County employee raises a little and ask MCPS to reduce their raises to the same level (a larger decrease since the MCPS raises were larger). Obviously, it would be up to MCPS to decide whether to cut positions or reduce raises, but it would give the council cover to not fund as much of the MCPS request. That would have saved a lot of money in a sustainable way. But because zero of the 11 councilmembers wanted to reduce the county employee raises, this is where we are.[/quote]
