[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly Riemer has realized that he has exactly zero future job prospects in the private sector. This is why term limits is important folks, unfortunately it also affects Rice who I think does a good job.

It's interesting that the Real Estate lobby in this county keeps putting up primary challengers to Co. Exec. incumbents. Last time if was Doug Duncan, funded by Real Estate/Developer money challenging Leggett. This time it is Riemer, who will likely also be funded and owned by the same folks.

This actually probably will help to ensure that Elrich is re-elected, as it will split the anti-Elrich vote. Elrich already proved last time that he can defeat other Takoma Park challengers.[/quote]
I think Blair is getting the developer $, not Riemer.[/quote]
Well then Riemer has spent the last 4 years pandering to them for nothing. Sounds like Riemer. LOL. Like who is his actual base of support?[/quote]

If you want somebody who's opposed to building additional housing, then you should vote for a second term for Elrich.[/quote]

[b]If you want somebody who led the effort to take money from school construction and give it to developers, vote for Riemer. [/b]

I'm voting for Blair. It's too bad Riemer will split the vote and Elrich will win a second term. Nice parting gift from Riemer to the citizens of Montgomery County.[/quote]
Details on this? [/quote]

School construction has two dedicated revenue streams, impact fees and recordation taxes. Riemer was the leading advocate to cut impact fees below cost recovery levels. That's a subsidy for developers. Oddly, even though he claims that he just wants housing to be more affordable, he also advocated for imposing new taxes on affordable housing but only in some parts of the county. [/quote]

Man that guy is slimy.  If it’s just these three candidates, I actually think Blair still has a shot, because he barely lost to Elrich last time with the vote split many more ways. The problem is if a bunch of other candidates jump in as well, which will probably happen.[/quote]
