I live in Bethesda and the potholes have destroyed four tires in the past three years. I think our county government is incompetent and the companies contracted to repair and build new roads are making a fool of taxpayer funds. The roads in Rockville near the railroad are a disaster. It’s an utter embarrassment.

Please. I am tired of subsidizing the entire county. States up north (Penn, NJ, Conn, NY etc) have townships. Let's go to that model. Your taxes go to pay for your public services in your town. Roads. Schools. Police. etc.

Horrible. NJ is a corrupt cesspit. The whole township model is a big reason for it. Property taxes are mindwarping in NJ, because each dumb township has to spend money for their own cops/fire depts/etc. A tremendous waste of resoures and tax dollars because of that model. Gotta love how MoCo people already complain about property taxes now, but then state they want a model that'd make taxes even worse.

Property taxes in Montgomery County are basically the same as most of northern Jersey.

Correct. It's like people don't think there is fraud and waste in our current county gov system?? I'd rather know where my money is going and actually see the investment then put in in this large county apparatus.

MC juse spent $170M on electric buses. I am sure county will use the expansive buses equitably.

Your response drips with sarcasm.

If you are truly concerned about this issue, have you brought it up at a counsel meeting?

Did you attend the last meeting? Any meeting? Written an email even?

The last public meeting I attended was a school board meeting. The BOE meeting is orchestrated in such way that the members already made their mind before the public meeting starts and the testimonies were a show to tell you that we listened.

The RideOn buses are a joke. Often during non rush hour, the buses are either empty or with one or two passengers. 170M can help ablots of people reach where they want to go by car sharing
