[quote=Anonymous]County Exec cannot raise taxes without unanimous vote by the Council.  After the hammering they took the last time around, that isn't going to happen for another decade, at least.  Meanwhile, the schools, which you complain take so much of the budget (but keep your property values up) are in a downward spiral that nothing can save.  The east and up county schools need more money for services and the west and down county schools are overcrowded the the point of no return and no end in sight.

Ficker is crazy, has been disbarred many times, and makes his living getting people off from DWIs.  Because we need more drunk drivers on the road.

Floreen is funded by developers, because she's never met a project of theirs she doesn't want to support.  Want the schools to continue their downward slide? Want no greenspace or parks? That's what you'll get with Floreen.

Elrich wants the infrastructure in place WITH the building of houses (not more homes now and figure out the rest later, which means never- hence school decline and ever worsening traffic).  Elrich wants businesses to come to the county (which is what we need, not thousands of more people before we have figured out how to transport them, have space in schools, enough fire, police, libraries, etc).  He wants it staged appropriately, with developers who are making millions helping to pay for some of that infrastructure.  He wants to streamline/make it easier for business to come here, which will increase the money coming into the county on many levels.[/quote]
