[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So where exactly are all of the tax dollars going in MoCo if they tax so much yet cannot do basic things like provide paved roads for citizens?[/quote]

Hucker and Friedson have a bill that gives $18 a year to the Greenbank.

Elrich promised millions in worker covid pay differentials, swearing they’d be reimbursed by the feds. And they don’t qualify.  Like who thought giving VOLUNTEER firefighters a pay differential would qualify?

The greenbank is such a massive waste. There is no market failure for providing financing for renewables. It’s effectively being used as a slush fund for providing subsidies to existing building owners for upgrading their very old buildings. Perhaps instead the policy incentives shouldn’t be to retrofit crappy old buildings with tax payer subsidies but to encourage the private sector to invest in building new buildings that are more energy efficient without tax payer subsidies, which is what every other jurisdiction in the area is capable of doing.

This current group of county leaders, more than any other, cares much more about appearance than outcome.   None of them are making the trains run.  But they all get to tweet cool stuff about themselves. [/quote]
Friedson is such a disappointment. Spends all his time mugging for the approval of people in Takoma Park instead of representing his constituents. [/quote]

Takoma Park has road repaving in it's budget (as well as a schedule), and TP residents pay high taxes.  If TP roads are better (and personally, i don't think they are at all), perhaps that is why.[/quote]
