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]

But Elrich's friends need jobs![/quote]
