[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What will happen if Friedson is elected:

* The data center moratorium will end. Friedson was still opposing a moratorium on data centers at the beginning of June and doesn’t seem to grasp that some data center regulation mist happen at the state level, so the moratorium needs to be long enough for that to happen. Don’t trust Friedson’s flip flop this week. The affordable Maryland PAC has a lot of money from big tech and big tech wants data centers. Friedson delivers for his donors.

* The county’s inclusionary zoning program will be greatly scaled back or ended. This is a priority for his big donors and he’s demonstrated that he delivers for them.

* Rent stabilization will end even though housing production is already recovering from the Trump-induced pullback and rents are down for the first time in a very long time.

What will NOT happen if Friedson is elected:

* Ending single family zoning. The executive has no control over zoning. (Even though people love to blame Elrich for zoning)

* Tax cuts for homeowners and other residents. Friedson is a Reaganomics guy. He needs us to pay taxes so developers don’t have to. Friedson has not promised to cut taxes and he hasn’t even promised not to increase taxes. In a recent interview he even said explicitly that he wasn’t promising not to increase taxes.

• Infrastructure improvements. As a council member, Friedson has diverted money from transportation and school construction to fatten up developers’ profit margins.

I’m for all the things you mentioned Friedson will do so this is an endorsement for me. This county is circling the drain economically and in public safety (check the 20 percent murder increase while NoVA counties have seen large decreases) and needs someone to tack to the center and be pro business for once. I do not want Montgomery County to continue to be viewed as Oakland to NoVAs Silicon Valley and DC’s San Francisco.[/quote]

These economic policies are hard right, not center. [/quote]

Hard right like all the Democrat officials in NoVA in 80/20 and 65/35 Dem majority counties like Arlington and Fairfax who preside over diverse counties with decreasing murder rates and way more private sector jobs than Montgomery County? Those “hard right”
politicians?!!!!!!

I want less murders, more jobs, and less people polluting the atmosphere while they’re in bumper to bumper traffic on the American Legion Bridge coming home from their jobs in a deep blue region of a state like Virginia where politicians prioritize jobs, public safety, and sensible environmental solutions instead of inane virtue signaling policies like plastic bag and gas leaf blower bans that do nothing for the environment compared to the pollution from the 126,000 commuters from MD who pollute while their cars are idled coming home from work in Virginia.

That’s not a hard right stance. That’s a common sense stance and there is a dearth of that in this county, sadly. [/quote]
