Crime in MoCo

By Amalia Chua Halikias
Montgomery County has experienced a huge surge in crime — vehicle break-ins, in particular — in recent months. At the top of Montgomery County Police's latest weekly crime report there reads this note: "MCP urges all residents to take a role in preventing this type of crime by removing valuables from vehicles and locking all doors." 
The rise in crime is not isolated to vehicle thefts. Those who frequent public areas or use public transportation can regale you with stories of public drug use, threatening or violent confrontations, and wanton turnstile jumping.

And they’re off!!

On April 28'th, The Committee for Better Government (“CBG”) officially launched its drive to gather signatures for a ballot initiative to limit the Montgomery County Executive to just two consecutive terms instead of three. Collecting over 200 signatures on its very first day of operations in the public, petitioners heard a wide-range of voters’ concerns at the 2023 Olney Days event with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike stating how disgruntled they are with Marc Elrich.
