Yep, it’s hard dealing with quality of life in Montgomery County. It’s expensive affording the quality of life in Maryland. Folks are loading up the moving vans and getting out of Dodge while the getting’s good.
I understand, I feel your pain. With 20 years of one party government there’s no conflicting solutions put on the table. It’s MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY – many folks are choosing the highway.
The local Democrats, who hold all the cards, and control all the offices, have the worst woke policies;
- Crime is getting worse while they take cops out of schools.
- Cost of living is higher, yet they raise taxes, and raise taxes, and raise taxes some more.
- When they get pushback on taxes, they promise to only raises taxes on wealthy residents – you know, the ones who can actually afford the moving vans!
- There are less kids, the birthrate’s lower, folks are moving, so the Teacher’s Union wants higher salaries to teach fewer kids.
- Reading, writing, math and STEM are replaced with Critical Race Theory, restorative justice, gender identity and kids can’t read, count or socialize…so the County wants to spend more!
- Kids aren’t safe in school yet the politicians and Teacher’s Unions push for boys in girls bathrooms and boys in girls sports. (Just don’t tell your parents.)
- Keep your house cold in the winter, hot in the summer, dark at night and the cost of energy in MoCo is the highest in the nation. (Oh, and they even tax your high priced electric.)
- You can’t afford the roofer you need 'cause prices are up, but you really need him 'cause (wait for it) the cost of living has gone through the roof!
I could go on and on but you get the picture, Bring back bipartisanship, elect some Republicans to guard the Democrat henhouse. If all the normal hard working, non woke folk take the midnight train to Georgia (or the High Speed U-Haul to Florida) it’ll only be Democrats left to PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE! (By the way, don’t you already pay your fair share?)
Let’s end one party rule, increase quality of life, and return Montgomery County to being a great, safe, affordable place to call home.
