[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote](PP) And I'll add that I think Takoma Park, parts of Silver Spring - basically anywhere that voted over 50% for Elrich - should secede and form their own collectivist commune, and keep Marc Elrich with them as their Dear Leader, Lord Emperor, Revolutionary Comandante and let the rest of the county get back to BUSINESS. We would be so much better off if that far left corner didn't vote as a bloc en masse to skew all of our elections.[/quote]

[code]Takoma Park will never secede - how else would they be able to get all of our tax money to build Rec centers and libraries every few miles there? What about Saturday and summer schools only for their children? They have to reap the benefits of our high property taxes and the endless building sprees? There’s still a few areas in Bethesda where you can see some grass and parts of the sky after all![/code]

[code]Is this stuff true or is it hyperbole? Using county taxes to pay for serves exclusively to one small area is wrong[/code]

LOL -Yes very true. Silver Spring is an endless pot of need and leech to the rest of the county. At least TP levies its own local taxes. These areas really are bringing the county down. [/quote]
Ah, the anti-immigrant, anti-Silver Spring poster has arrived. How are things in Olney?

If you can provide a few legitimate references to prove your point, please do. [/quote]

Rec centers in Bethesda ZERO. Plans for rec centers in Bethesda - home to 64,000 over taxed people who also enjoy recreation and meeting other community members - NONE.

More plans for recreation for Silver Spring, while Bethesda just gets more high rises and high density housing projects without appropriate parks, recreation or schools built to match- a new indoor pool complex.

Marriott is good for the county’s coffers, but residents get shade and do much traffic it takes a half hour to go a mile down the street. Schools are often st double capacity and have been for years and years (Ashburton, etc).

Bethesda is just a big ATM machine for Silver Spring, Wheaton and Takoma.
