[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm another "Write in-Trone" voter. Don't like her, PG is corrupt, dangerous and a mess. Worst county in the DC area

Larry is a turncoat and will ban abortion and make the rich richer. Trone was the better candidate.

Ridiculous, both of the candidate on the ballot are better options than Trone.

Trone is a former Republican who flip flips on issues when politically expedient.  He is yet another rich white guy who will do whatever he can for big business and his own pockets.  He spent his early years hosting Republican fund-raisers for the candidates who supported the opposite of what he later found politically expedient.  He was still conservative/moderate when he ran his first campaign for the House and lost.  Suddenly there was an opening in Montgomery County and he found scruples and became a born-again progressive and ran on values and platforms that he had fund-raised against for decades previously.

Trone is one of those who believes that as long as he can buy his way, he should get his way.  He believes that money decides, and that values and morals are only important when they are politically expedient for him.  It should be interesting to see if he is going to flip flop again when the next opening comes up where he thinks he can weasel his way back into a seat in Congress since he realizes now that people only like him for his money.

PG County is none of the things you characterized it as.  Since Jack Johnson left office in 2010, the subsequent county executives and government have worked hard to clean up the government and rebuild.  The county is far better off than it used to be and has addressed many of the former issues.  It's slow going but the county has experienced a fairly rapid climb over the last 14 years and will continue to improve.  As a 30+ year resident of PG, I can say that the county is much better off than it was and I would much rather have a candidate for Senate that was a part of that improvement, than a candidate like Trone who just rides whatever wave is currently in vogue and has no political commitment for himself.[/quote]
