I am running for Montgomery Council district 5 because of the very extensive spending and high taxes that the Council and Executive have forced on the County. I cannot imagine what else they can tax. We have higher property taxes (mine went up 30% in 2 years, parking fees went up over 300%, parking became much more difficult, the roads have become a speed control because some of them are street long potholes, barricades have been put in the middle of residential 2 lane streets on the false guise of safety, we lost over 300 parking spaces in my neighborhood alone because of the possible passage of school buses (there never were any problems for 50 years), business areas have lost entire streets to parking, dog owners are forced to pay $40 to let their dog play, the County is trying to tell us what we can eat. energy taxes have gone sky high. The County admitted that they pay employees at least 20% more than any other area claiming that gives us better employees. No, the people are the same - they are just paid more. These are but a few of the things wrong with the County. Read the Declaration! Only one grievance is not true today - we don't quarter soldiers in private homes. This is why the Tea Party exists.
