[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear ya OP. My family is upper middle class so I expect to pay more. But when we were victims of crime twice and when my husband lost his job for several months, there was no one was around to help. What I hate most about the current administration is the amount of $$$ wasted and not accounted for. Yet we keep electing the same people. I feel like there are so many people out there that have no clue what is going on and just vote for the most well known. 
What are we going to do? My DD is graduating this year and we are moving out of state so we won’t have to deal with the awful crime.[/quote]

DP.. So, what happens if all UMC leave MoCo?[/quote]
No one’s leaving.[/quote]

The top 50 taxpayers are responsible for a large part of our tax revenue each year, based on their capital gains.   If they leave to any significant degree (ahem Dan Snyder), we will be hurting.[/quote]

I’m definitely not one of the top 50 taxpayers, but we moved out of Montgomery County last year. The current exec (Elrich) and the council was definitely part of our reasoning. I pay attention to these threads because one of our loved ones is employed by this county.

We left because the writing was on the wall. This council and exec don’t care about constituents. If they did, public safety would be #1 on all agendas. It’s not. Instead, Elrich and the council want to severely limit MCPD. So the county now faces exponential crime and limited resources. That’s the fault of local governance, many of whom just got re-elected.

It’s hard watching a train wreck in motion. [/quote]
