[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there’s already an existing thread please let me know.

I’m curious, if you’re strongly for or agains nine districts for moco could you explain why? I’m trying to understand the implication of this structure switch to figure out whether I support.[/quote]

If you're strongly for the nine districts for Montgomery County idea, chances are that you're a Republican who believes this is the only way to get a Republican on the County Council. Which it won't even do anyway, unless you do a lot of gerrymandering of council district boundaries.[/quote]

I don't know if people believe that. [b]But Democrats who are a little less liberal than the Silver Spring/Tacoma Park contingent should see it as a chance to break up that majority down there who's doing a lot of stuff much of the County doesn't agree with.  [/b]

Look, Marc Elrich had a property tax increase recommended in the FY21 budget.  The only reason,  the "only" reason, it didn't go anywhere was because of COVID.

The sad part about a win for the 9 district idea is that Gabe Albornoz will probably lose in a new election.  He had the lowest number of votes of the at-large individuals, and he's the most rational.  [/quote]

[b]Somebody is arguing against the [b]at-large[/b] members - the ones who are elected county-wide - on grounds that they don't represent much of the county. I'm speechless.[/b]

(Tacoma is a place in Washington state. The place in Montgomery County is Takoma. With a k.)[/quote]
Um, did you read the front page of the nine districts petition? 
Somebody is a lot more than one person. [/quote]
