Yes and City Council, police department and fire department


And why does it need all of those things? Seems pretty pricey. Doesn’t MoCo government already have its own pretty healthy bureaucracy without layering on more at the local level?


Takoma Park has been an incorporated municipality since 1890. If you think that it should de-incorporate, then you should move to Takoma Park and start advocating for that.

More local control.


I love the TP city services. I also love that it feels like its own small town.

Taxes pay for our society. If you don’t like taxes, check out Somalia. Extremely low effective tax rates there! Of course, no society either.

Taxes haven’t gone up that much though the assessment of your house has.

It’s all about the co-op in all things and all ways and the Listserv is like West Side Story with Seth Grimes as Officer Krupke.

Is Roger vs Kate basically a referendum on the junction development? Is that all this really comes down to?

I’m sticking with Kate.
