[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could just read the local newspaper like most people [/quote]

That would be the Washington Post. The rest of the MoCo papers folded some time ago. Is the Post covering local county politics?[/quote]
There were two papers in Montgomery County, the Sentinel and the Gazette.

The Sentinel switched to a pure online model about a decade ago.

Around the same time, the Post bought the Gazette. Then Bezos bought the Post and promptly closed the Gazette.

One of the only active local news sources is Bethesda Beat.

However they don’t really do any investigative stories and tread very lightly with local politicians. A good example is that Jawando’s mini “scandal” with failing to appear for his traffic citation appeal for speeding on 200 was reported in the Baltimore Sun.

As a news consumer I would really like to read a story about what a county CM is doing in Nigeria to promote a book and what relevance that has for Montgomery County or his political future. We won’t ever get that story though. [/quote]

I hate the guy. But he’s allowed to promote his book on his own time. He just needs to keep his time card straight and report the book sales on his financial disclosure. [/quote]
