[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm voting for B. The Council takes the easy way out by just raising taxes, instead of making difficult decisions when it comes to spending.

They spend on unnecesary costs like a racial equity and social justice office (plus associated staff)

or
$1.5m on youth access to sports: https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-beat/sports/county-will-spend-1-55m-to-increase-access-to-youth-sports/
or
trying to give money to legal aid groups for undocumented immigrants, then when the groups said they wouldn't accept it due to certain conditions (can't be used to defend violent offenders), the county allocated the money anyway in the hope some other group would sprout up and use the money:

While nice, these are all luxuries. They can cut these before we cut first responder services.[/quote]

These are my reasons also.

The current County leadership is a disaster.  There are plenty of useless spending projects that we can cut before cutting funding to libraries and first responders.

Definitely voting for B.  [/quote]
