[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good job MoCo council:  https://www.mymcmedia.org/25000-fewer-jobs-located-in-county-than-before-pandemic/

Keep raising those taxes, letting crime go unpunished, and enacting jobs killing initiatives.  This keeps working wonders for the county over the last 20 years.

The council’s response to this economic disaster is a joke:

[quote] More than a month ago, Friedson proposed a $20 million job creation package, which has the support of the majority on council. Nicknamed the JOBS (Jobs, Opportunities and Business Support) Initiative, it is designed to create up to 1,000 jobs, especially in equity focused areas along the I270 and Route 29 corridors and eastern downcounty.

it includes a $10 million job creation fund that gives employers $10,000 for new jobs created that include a salary of at least $100,000. [b]The employer would get $12,000 per job if the job is located in an equity focus area[/b].[/quote]

Clearly this systemic problem can be addressed through equity initiatives (lol) rather than getting rid of progressive garbage and red tape that suffocates businesss and removes all incentives from even opening up or staying open in MoCo in the first place.   But at least the county seems to have a steady stream of new bubble tea making jobs every week.  I’m sure those jobs pay enough salary to pay for all of MoCo’s insane ideas and all of the teacher’s unions that blackmail taxpayers for never ending tax hikes.

County is in decline, the numbers prove it, and all MoCo does is get poorer.  It is snowballing. [/quote]
Only in Montgomery County does the sole “pro business” Councilmember think that the normal way to create jobs is for the government to pay private sector companies.

God forbid they would consider making the county more business friendly by focusing on the enabling environment. [/quote]
