Councilmember Laurie-Ann Sayles (also a current candidate in the Democrat primary for a US House District in Maryland) is supposed to be a Councilmember “At-Large”, meaning she represents the entirety of Montgomery County, population estimated to about 1.13 million residents in 2022. But it seems like CM Sayles really think she was elected to represent…
Montgomery County appears to have a transparency issue with how it discloses its vendor information to the general public or those seeking more details from the data and county spending source(s) housed at spending.data.montgomerycountymd.gov. As Mr. Reardon “Sully” Sullivan (a former candidate for Montgomery County Executive) has documented, “as all organizations must do, the Montgomery County…
Local “democracy” dying in darkness? Where is the correct attribution by CE Elrich to local Democrat mega-donor Mr. Vincent DeMarco?

Where are CM Evan Glass and Congressman Raskin and all the democracy acolytes on the County Council on the recent election fraud revelations that shook the Connecticut political world this past week?
Councilmember Kristin Mink (Democrat – District 5) issued a fairly milquetoast but balanced (for her) statement on the ongoing turmoil and hot war in the Middle East last week (via X.com): The statement reads okay, but was likely heavily scrutinized/edited by CM Mink and staff prior to public issuance. Remember, this is the same firebrand…
Montgomery County’s beleaguered taxpayers are asked to fund all kinds of nonsense, as documented frequently at CleanSlateMoCo. At the same time, MoCo politicians talk incessantly about “combating hatred” and bigotry. There has been 18+ years of combatting “hate” through government proclamations and other public acts.
