Tired of the crazy spending by the MoCo government? Want to do something about it? You’re in luck! You can join the effort HERE.

In 2024, many of you helped the Committee for Better Government limit the County Executive to two four-year terms. Now, the Committee to Control MoCo Spending is starting a new petition to get a question on the ballot in 2026. Their website explains the mission. “ ‘Control MoCo Spending’  (CMS) was formed to limit the County spending to the prior year's  Consumer Price Index (CPI). The County Executive and County Council have a long history of lavish spending relative to our metropolitan neighbors, and raising taxes in all forms. We currently find ourselves with yet another round of tax increases occurring in under two years. The purpose of this ballot petition is to secure enough signatures to get the question on the ballot for the 2026 election.”

The Planning, Housing, and Parks (PHP) Committee of Montgomery County Council will hold work sessions to discuss Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) 25-02, titled “Workforce Housing – Development Standards”. This proposed amendment is part of the broader “More Housing N.O.W. (New Options for Workers)” package aimed at expanding affordable housing options within the county. TAKE ACTION

Further consideration of the proposals have been postponed until June because of deliberations on the budget. This pause provides an excellent opportunity to email the County Council with your objections to the zoning package. With six of eleven members sponsoring or co-sponsoring the proposals, we only need to convince one of these councilmembers to change their position.

For ideas of what to put in your email, HERE is my shortened version of the testimony I presented to the County Council on March 11, 2025.

What do you think New Jersey Senator Cory Booker accomplished with his marathon speech?

It's Republican weather, a great springtime, warm days, fresh air, flowers blooming and a great sense of optimism in the air! I welcome all the folks signing up for our events, our newsletters and petitions. We were able to cross the threshold and become the majority party in America once again after a long bit. Here in MoCo it'll take a bit more, but I'm optimistic we can do it.

It's so gratifying to watch the different groups approach our Members, volunteers, door knockers and poll watchers. The first thing is the smile and the realization there are plenty of folks in MoCo who are on their side. The surprising thing is where they come from. So many citizens who are immigrants to America, from Africa, Asia and the Hispanic countries. Folks who came here the right way, were welcomed to our shores and have watched with dismay while so many others didn't - often to prey on their own immigrant communities.

They have come to realize our Party, nationally and locally, has their back. We represent them and are becoming stronger and more effective each day. Yes, it's good to see and we'll keep it up until we build the country back to be the beacon of freedom and prosperity the world longs to see.

You have my word on that.
