[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Services will be cut.  Libraries, police, fire, transportation.  If you can't raise taxes.

They haven't recovered from the Recession because Leggett sank a lot of the restored revenues into raises for union collective bargaining agreements.  Particularly in the year he ran for reelection.

Don't look too closely at the fiscal mess Elrich is creating.  You won't be able to sleep at night.

A cap won't end bad governance.   Vote him out. [/quote]

The idea that the only way to even maintain the status quo on services is to (continually) raise taxes, is nonsense.

Yes- Moco is a financial mess, and yes a lot of that is Elrich's fault- but the bigger issues are:

- never standing up to the public unions
- a 100% progressive council, most of whom live in TP/ Downcounty Silver spring
- anti-business policies
-shrinking tax base as those with massive means, flee to VA
-school systems getting worse and worse, especially non W's

Absolute yes- vote Elrich out, sure.   But dont make it even easier to raise taxes. [/quote]

Montgomery County is about to approve hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies for developers. And now they want to raise taxes so that we can pay for them? I don't think so. Yes on B.[/quote]
