[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn’t this for the whole state? [/quote]

Because each county's delegation is responsible for drafting and sponsored legislation that serves its constituents.

Are you aware that there is a Montgomery County Delegation within the General Assembly? https://www.montgomerycountydelegation.com/

This is how state and local politics works.[/quote]

I was not aware before this cluster(I’m new here!) but am sure on it now. I naively thought MCPS had to follow state law.[/quote]

They do have to follow state law. But state law is often shaped and advanced to the benefit of the delegations within the General Assembly who listen to constituents from their districts and develop legislation based on constituent concerns.

Sometimes, doing a carveout for your district is a matter of practicality. It might take more time to collaborate with multiple delegations than drafting legislation that only impacts the people within your delegation and is simply more politically feasible to go it alone.

Sometimes, it's a matter of pride. Maybe you want your delegation to have a carveout because you believe your delegation [b]has a unique circumstance[/b] or need that warrants it being treated from the rest of the state.[/quote]

Is.the delegation claiming that MCPS's poor planning skills represent a "unique circumstance"? What a pack of clowns
