[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i one week they proposed a bill, renamed Montrose Parkway and put up the signs.  for 15 months we have requested a new street sign that was stolen in our area and nothing has happened.

They are all about the spotlight.  Hucker tweeted yesterday about the explosion in SS that he and his team were on their way there to check things out and will report back, glad they were able to take charge of the situation.  [/quote]
In the modern lingo we can call it “performative governance”.

I honestly believe that the county would be better off if we had a moratorium on passing any new laws, plans or anything else except a continuation of the same budget (making sure it’s balanced) for a couple years. [/quote]

Renaming the street was a good move, but Casey Anderson's draft general plan is still racist.[/quote]
Sure, but it’s a complete distraction when poverty and crime are rising, the school system is imploding and streets and sidewalks are not being maintained. They should prioritize focusing on these core competencies of municipal government before even thinking about a photo op to rename a street. [/quote]

It’s hard to take anyone serious when they say crime is rising and schools are imploding and well crime everywhere is rising due to a f’ing pandemic and our school are amazing and way better than the 70’s/80’s/90’s.

You sound like you live in an altered reality,

Ficker was your candidate.

Come on man![/quote]
Stop making a fool out of yourself about topics you are ignorant.

You admit crime is rising. Murders have doubled. Is your point that you don’t think it’s appropriate to mention it because it has variously increased in other places? Why hasn’t crime increased in Fairfax? Do you see how stupid you sound?

MCPS is a school system that is struggling. Most people will point to rapidly rising FARMS rates and child poverty as the proximate cause. Poolesville, which gets frequently ranked as the top HS in the county has a building that is falling apart and parents have literally been begging the county for a new building for over a decades. MCPS has been falling down national rankings year after year and by all objective metrics it’s no longer the top school district in the state, that honor now belongs to Howard County. Furthermore, every candidate challenging for county council is saying that the quality of education at MCPS is an issue. But apparently you know different? Can you share with us your secret data that no one else seems to have that instead makes MCPS a top school system?

Its appalling that they got tons of covid money and didn't use it on school repairs.  They had an entire year to get these schools fixed while the students were out of them.[/quote]

What did they spend the money on?  [/quote]
