[quote=Anonymous]Here's a great example. MoCo had to cancel all county-run July 4th fireworks displays, because they couldn't plan in time:

Meanwhile, in Frederick they will have an event -- modified so you view from your car -- but they are still having one:

Over in NoVa, they have plenty of such events -- in Great Falls, Herndon, Fairfax, and more:

Same with libraries. MoCo reopened the first libraries on 6/1. Fairfax had theirs open for months before.

Same with schools -- MCPS only reopened based on a governor's order, and refused to allow any adjustments to allow more kids back in, unlike Fairfax that readjusted schedules once they realized they had more capacity. MCPS Superintendent Smith claimed in a BOE meeting it would be too "disruptive" to children if they were able to attend school more days per week than their current 2 days/week.

It's just utter failure by the MoCo government. Counties around us are able to pull things off, and provide services for their citizens, but MoCo isn't. It's like there's a culture of finding reasons to say "No" instead of "Yes".
