I have a bad feeling Elrich is going to win it at the end. [/quote]

I have a good feeling Elrich is going to win it at the end. Four more years![/quote]

The exorbitant amount of money the county is burning through and wasting on an issue most don’t know about would piss everyone off. [/quote]

Maybe they will care when they get a tax increase "and" more service cuts in the next year or two?  Do people pay attention to those things?  Or just feel comfortable in their blue bubble because Elrich is foolishly trying to recruit Tesla to relocate here because of Texas abortion laws?

Do we have any shred of pragmatism left?  Or just vote to virtue signal?

I need people to wake up.  Just because a candidate (or incumbent) esposes the same positions as a voter doesn't mean s/he can deliver.  And it doesn't mean s/he can make the trains run.  We can't afford the extra couple of million Elrich is sinking into abortion clinics if we have insufficient tax revenues.    To date, he's been cutting core services to pay for all the cool progressive stuff like housing bus loads of undocumented immigrants, paying for their civil immigration defense, sending $18 million a year to a Green Bank, purchasing only hybrid and electric vehicles that have much higher upfront costs and unproven long-term savings, making all our buidings net zero (inflating capital budgets 10% or so, while delaying your schools to make room in the CIP), and threatening to shut down the incinerator before he has a better waste disposal plan to take its place.  I will not be at all surprised if we end up with a trash collection issue in the future.

And perhaps one of the worst things he AND council are doing is shredding existing programs and services in the name of racial equity, actually causing more harm than good to communities of color.   [/quote]

This poster has captured why I left (in addition to the decline of schools) after 27 years as a resident.[/quote]
