[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I don't know who to vote for/against - but I strongly disagree with the proposed changes to zoning.

Who should I vote for or against?

Thank you![/quote]

Vote NO on imposing a two-term limit for the county exec. The exec is already on a three-term limit, just like the county council. [b]The developer interests are trying to deny Marc Elrich, our current county executive, from running for a third term.[/b] Marc is the politician who is stating quite plainly that the new density push for housing is for market-based housing, not affordable housing. I hope more people don't fall for the developers' big lies about this being to help poor people priced out of the market. This is all about a developers' land grab.[/quote]

No, actually, it's the Montgomery County Republicans who are leading that effort. https://moco360.media/2024/07/24/initiative-to-limit-county-executive-to-two-terms-will-appear-on-november-ballot/

You're not very familiar with MoCo politics if you think that those pushing density -- developer interests -- are not actively campaigning for the ballot measure as a way to get Elrich out of office.[/quote]

+1 the developers and Republicans are one and the same[/quote]

I see what you did there.

Developers just have many elected politicians in their pockets.  In hegemonic MoCo, that means they have some of the Dems.  Just not so much Elrich, of whom the Dems they [i]do[/i] have in their pocket want to be rid (along with some Dems who want the opportunity to supplant him and, sure, a bunch of Republicans who would love to see him gone for other reasons).[/quote]
