Go fish. Not sure why you think Taylor's job is in trouble. The only one I hope gets pushed out of their job early is the OP.

It's unfortunate that you have no idea what you're talking about. While Elrich and the County Council have final say on the CIP, like the Operating Budget, Taylor and the BOE do make recommendations that get kicked over to the County Exec and Council to adjust.

Why don't you know this?

Um. Because I can recommend World Peace. Doesn't mean I'm gonna get money for it?

You think the County Exec and Council don't use Taylor's and the BOE's recommendations as the basis for theirs? You can see that they do just by looking at the two.

You must be trolling.

No, I just remember when Wootton's renovation money in the CIP was zeroed out, when the Kid Museum got millions (enough for an annual pass for several grade levels) yet no one can seem to remember what it was spent on, stuff like that...

Trolling is trying to get the guy fired with flimsy examples. It's not like he approved, oh I don't know, 160 million dollars worth of electric buses that are driving up everyone's electric bills...

If a post on DCUM cataloguing parent and community outrage in the news caused by Taylor/MCPS's blunders is enough to get him fired, then I'm more powerful than I thought!

I guess you don't know what 'trolling' means? I wasn't implying you're powerful. Quite the opposite, in fact. I meant that you're whining about relatively minor issues without examining the underlying facts behind them.

For example, the whiner about the AI purchase probably doesn't realize that Volt AI is on GSA schedule and most other camera AI systems are owned by / run by / located in / administered by countries that do not have the best interests of the US at heart. A security professional would know that, but not some whiny parent on an anonymous blog. Stuff like that.

Taylor is a bully and a liar. He’s also a bad politician, not securing board or county council support before saying he would close SSIMS. I am hoping against hope the BOE realizes he is terrible soon. But I’m also not holding my breath.

Einstein is not losing its arts magnet.

I want to see if any of the Wootton Art teachers were poached. I heard a rumor that's where they got new resources?

Mcps is on GSA schedule?

State governments can buy off GSA. If you knew anything about government contracts, you would know this. Also, to be on GSA (or even have a CAGE code), you must make numerous reps and certs, including whether you comply with Section 889 of the FY2019 NDAA (prohibiting covered telecommunications equipment and services from various Chinese companies like Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Hytera, and Dauhá).

I'm well aware of the facts, actually. I disagree they're relatively minor. But I guess we can revisit this if Taylor or MCPS for the consequences for burning this many bridges.

Whatever. I'm neither pro or against Taylor. I just read the arguments, but it read like someone's on an ego trip that Taylor didn't do what they wanted. If you get something more substantive then post, but from everything I've read, he's doing the right thing for the taxpayers versus sucking up to pushy self-interest groups (and parents).
