I agree with you 100%.

If you really care about improving the lives of our diverse population, do things that would actually tangibly improve their lives. I'm not AGAINST the social justice legislation per se - I mean sure, let's not discriminate based on hairstyles - but let's also not kid ourselves that legislating away discrimination is going to solve all of our problems.

Also - I'm no Republican, I don't think tax cuts across the board are what stimulates business growth. Don't shoot me, but I agree with what a lot of Marc Elrich SAYS he's going to do, like talk to business owners and find out what's hindering them and benchmarking business practices with Fairfax. He's talked a good game about improving the permitting process, which would be fantastic. But this means nothing until talk turns to action.

I don't think you really have to sacrifice liberal values to become more business friendly. I don't think we have to allow wanton pesticide use, keep mass-producing plastic straws and styrofoam and have a race to the bottom paying low wages. I do think getting rid of the burdensome red tape would do wonders for business - and yes, this might upset some of your middle-manager government worker friends. [/quote]

It was funny a few months ago when Elrich and some others were promoting some new initiative in Rockville to help women and minorities start businesses -- basically to help with all the papework, permitting, and licensing.

I have a better idea -- how about reducing all the bureaucracy so you don't have to set up a group just to help people wade through the bureaucracy?[/quote]

Right?

Not the OP, but they want to tout how they want to bring in women and minorities because it falls in line with the SJW agenda.

This is my issue with MCPS.  So much time and money and energy spent on Black and Brown Forums and Latino nights, whereas our 4th grade teachers don't even have the rest of their curriculum for this year.  Our classes are overcrowded and schools are understaffed.  Spend that money focusing on implementing a strong curriculum that will help ALL kids.  [/quote]
