NOT DEPORTING CRIMINALS
By Dennis Melby
We're like people everywhere. We welcome others into our homes. That means folks whom we invite in, like new family members - by birth or marriage and friends of friends. But when people barge in, whether just off the street or from around the globe, to threaten the family and community we've built and resources we provide them, we draw the line. And when violence ensues, we expect the government, our government, to help us.
We're facing a crisis. In Montgomery County for years our one-party government has made it a point to not protect us, to not work with those responsible in the federal government to keep us safe. We've been declared a "sanctuary county" and protected criminals from the penalties of their actions.
But even this government seems to have had enough. With a spate of high profile actions by folks here illegally who've committed crime after crime - they're relenting just a little. The recent murder of a young toddler in Langley Park by an illegal alien criminal who had been arrested and let go time after time finally changed things. After all these years of crime and mayhem the County government has started to work with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to alert them when they release criminals into our neighborhoods again - so ICE can pick them up FIRST and jail or deport them.
One party rule, no diversity of political thought, a search for political power by pitting group against group leads us down a dangerous path.
Let's hope this recent trend toward public safety lasts. I pray it does.

Montgomery County begins honoring ICE detainers for violent offenders
Taxes, Fees, and Tolls, Oh My!
By Amy Waychoff
The Maryland House and Senate are busy finalizing the budget (with an April 1 deadline), and the bottom line for Maryland consumers is that taxes, fees, and tolls will dramatically increase. Under the proposed budget (SB 360 and SB 362), revenues of $576 million will be generated in FY 2025 by, among other means,
- raising vehicle registration fees
- increasing the vehicle excise tax
- assessing fees for Uber and Lyft
- collecting an annual registration surcharge from owners of zero-emission and hybrid vehicles
After passing both houses, but with amendments, the budget bills are back in the Senate, so please email your Maryland state senators in opposition to the budget. (If you would like to email all the senators, please email Amy Waychoff, [email protected], for a complete list.)
Alexander Shoop / Opinion - Fitzgerald Mofor for Board of Education
Fitzgerald Mofor of Montgomery County is running for a seat on the Montgomery County Board of Education. Born and raised in MoCo, he is the product of Sherwood High School, graduating in 2013. After graduating, Mr. Mofor continued with his education, earning a double major in General Studies and Sociology, and also received a Masters from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law. He now returns home with a clear goal: education reform.
This afternoon, scrolling through Twitter/X while waiting for my takeout order to be ready, I stumbled across a post from Mr. Mofor talking about MCPS. The post was a fiery declaration that the MCPS that MoCo residents used to be so proud of is no more. Indeed, Mofor says, “[o]ur school system has become a perpetual embarrassment, and it’s you, the taxpayer, who will foot the bill for the incompetence.”[1]
