[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No to Kate Stewart.  She's in the bowtie district, a combo of North Bethesda and SS/Tacoma Park.  She only cares about the east side of her district, doesn't give a rats ass about north bethesda.  She will never have my vote [/quote]

Actually, Stewart doesn't care about Takoma Park. She ruined the town's finances when she was on its council and as it mayor. She led the effort to rebuild the town's library - the only municipal library in Maryland (because counties build them in Maryland) - and it is now coming in at more than 100% its original budget, partly because it was built it in a known flood zone. She gladly took a recreation center long overdue for rebuild from the county and began the effort to rebuild that, all to be paid for by Takoma Park, a town of 17,500 residents. Stewart commissioned focus group and design concept studies for that.

She started the effort to erect a commercial building at the Takoma Park junction. This droned on for 8 years, costing the city untold millions for attorneys, staff time, and finally, $500,000 to pay off the developer who went rogue on the original contract, and whom the city STILL paid off. The city is left with the same parking lot at the junction that it began with.  Kate Stewart is at the center of all of this. She tends to show up for events in Silver Spring as county council person. Haven't seen her in Takoma Park for quite some time...[/quote]
