[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you aware that there are many liberals in the county who are not as enthusiastic about Elrich, Mink, and the rest? That these liberals (including me and plenty of others I know) are concerned about a runaway exec and council?[/quote]

Yes, I’m aware of you. You helped get us here, to where we are now. Now you wanna hit the brakes? Nope. Sorry. Full speed ahead, hard left. [/quote]

DP and I’m relatively new to the area, so more likely that you’ve been helping more than me.  Do you own a house? Have kids who attend the public schools?  Or are you so rich that none of it matters?  Seems strange you’re out to self-sabotage yourself.[/quote]

Yes, it is self-sabotage. I figure we’ll probably lose a couple hundred thousand on our home vs. what we would’ve been able to sell for if MoCo wasn’t so much of a sh!tshow and Fairfax Co wasn’t 10 minutes away across a bridge.

So be it. Our kids went to public schools (WJ cluster) and the youngest is done after this year. House is long since paid off, and if MoCo properly taxes weren’t so high we could probably make more on the sale when we leave. But when you’re in a county where you’re adding almost the equivalent of a monthly mortgage payment for a starter-home JUST in property taxes on top of your mortgage, it definitely takes some of the potential value off the top price you can expect for your home.

Dems got us here. They control every facet of county govt. Now some dems think it’s gone too far? Too bad. You’re already well into ruining this county, and now you want to stop? Nope. You need to get what you voted for. I want the entire county to be Tacoma Park writ-large.

We’re going to leave in a few years, and I want this county to be even worse by then.

I feel like I owe all of you who got us here that much. [/quote]
