MONTGOMERY CONNECTS
Remember the taxpayers and citizens of Montgomery County are very generous to those in need and provide a good portion of their income to helping those less fortunate.
60,000 Free Computers Will Be Distributed to Low-income Residents
“Montgomery Connects,” Montgomery County’s digital equity and inclusion program, has launched a new program to distribute 60,000 free laptop computers to low-income families. There is a limit of one computer per resident. Eligible recipients must be Maryland residents, do not need to be U.S. citizens and may not have already received a computer from the County before April 2023.

TAKE OUR FEBRUARY POLL
THE CHAIR OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE
In January of last year the MCGOP Central Committee adopted a resolution concerning the Chair of the Republican National Committee. It said the following:
"The Republican Party in Montgomery County Maryland wishes to thank Ronna McDaniel for her work on behalf of the Party over the last 6 years.
We believe it’s time for a change and encourage our RNC Committee Members to support a new leadership and fresh ideas by voting for Harmeet Dhillon for RNC Party Chair."
That change never happened and we wished Ms. McDaniel well. Once again the Republican conference is split, the many calling for a change to new leadership. We want to know what you think.
MORE GREAT CANDIDATES!
Last Friday was the Maryland filing deadline for candidates for 2024. We weren’t disappointed.
We already had a field of great folks running to make a difference, but on Friday we got a lot more. Former Governor Larry Hogan, former Delegate Neil Parrott, author and activist Bethany Mandel and former Rockville City Council candidate Ricky Mui were among others who all put their hats in the ring for various offices on the last day of filing.
Competition helps our democracy; more choices are what folks want. To get a full list of candidates go HERE. This next week we’ll get more info and make sure you have it.
The White House, the Capitol and our own Board of Education affect our lives in totally different ways.
Our pages are open to Republicans and non-partisans, and many of our readers are moderate Democrats. We want to make this county and this country better. We had great candidates, now we have more. Things are looking up.
We’ll keep you posted.

WE'VE POSTPONED BANKRUPTING GRANNY
Common Sense Wins – Bankrupting Granny Fails
The “do-good” lawmakers in the Maryland Fire Marshall’s office and here in Montgomery County were poised to enact yet another law that would have cost Montgomery County taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars per family. But we fought it.
Silently and behind closed doors lawmakers put forth a law that would require high rise condominiums, to install sprinkler systems in all existing buildings at a projected cost of over $30,000 per unit. The cost could be even higher, depending on if a fire pump is needed, the size of the incoming water service and the size of the service from the street.
The Montgomery County Republican Central Committee fought back against this overreach and, working with other groups, got the law declared “not enforced” except in the cases of an “inimicable hazard”, whatever that means!

Our very popular celebration returns to the Hong Kong Pearl (formerly New Fortune) Restaurant, Gaithersburg, MD. with hundreds of neighbor Republicans and friends as we enjoy a fine Lunar New Year feast with candidates, speeches, culture and fun.
Thanks to everyone who donated, volunteered, sponsored tables and attended. More about it in next week's newsletter. In the meantime...
WOULD YOU PLAY THE RACE CARD OR THE GENDER CARD?
Dr. Monifa McKnight, Prince Georges County resident and Superintendent of the Montgomery County Public Schools was apparently asked to resign from her position by the seven elected Democrat women who run the Board of Education, according to reports in the media. The press speculated it was because of her ignorance of and promotion of a staffer with accusations of emotional abuse and sexual harassment of his staff and employees for years. Might also be because of the continued lack of educational improvement by many black and brown students in the MCPS (not in the private schools). Dr. McKnight and her attorney opposed the dismissal saying that the School Board had never done it to a male superintendent. Yes, they played the GENDER card. Apparently the School Board and the esteemed former superintendent reached a monetary payout before she had to play another card. The color of money trumps a lot, doesn't it. READ THE STORY BELOW

NO FEBRUARY MID-COUNTY MUSTER
Oppose End of Life Act
By Brigitta Mullican
OPPOSE SB 443 - End of Life Options Act
Please oppose this end-of-life bill. As a Catholic, my faith calls me to respect all life, from birth to natural death. I request that you not approve these Bills. How can helping someone die by drugs be considered “died by natural causes?” It is inhuman to help someone die. We should have compassion and help each individual to be out of pain but not to kill.
I am very concerned about the push to legalize the dangerous practice of physician-assisted suicide in our state. Maryland has rejected similar bills multiple times. I am asking the committee to oppose MD SB 443 - End of Life Options Act.
