Wow, did you ever get the impression that the Maryland Governor and the Montgomery County Executive should copyright the phrase "tax and spend"? Seems like that’s all they want to do.

Even though in Annapolis our Governor inherited a massive surplus, he and the state legislature quickly turned it into a massive deficit. And who to go to pay your debts? Well, me and you, the beleaguered taxpayers. "Just pay your fair share" they say. They’re raising fees, they’re raising taxes, you better nail down your kids' swing set before they take that too!

And in MoCo it’s no different. Our one-party government, led by our one party County Executive (term limited by the way) is proposing YET ANOTHER tax increase, but he’s changed his mind within the last couple of weeks - instead of raising your property tax again he wants to raise your income tax. Remember the old chant "Don’t tax me. Don’t tax thee. Tax the one behind the tree!" Somebody’s got to pay for the outrageous spending MoCo does, and most times its with very little public scrutiny.

Of course we’re fighting it, that’s what we do. Read on in this newsletter about how you can help us. We can't do it alone - we need YOU.

Read on, we are chocked full of activities for May. Check it out. In the meantime let me know what else we have to tackle.

And if I don’t get to see you in person, Happy Mother’s Day! Hope you had a great Mom - I know I did.
