I’ve written quite a few posts on the need for zoning reform as a way of reducing the cost of housing. In this matter I hold CMs Friedson and Balcombe in high regard for their efforts in promoting zoning reform. Driving down Connecticut Avenue on the western border of Section Five in the Town of…

CM Stewart wants to be kind, bold, and resist? She needs to write for Clean Slate MoCo!
The electoral earthquake we all felt November 5 has had its predictable reactions. Personally, I’m not overly charmed by the degree of vindication we see in some (certainly not all) pro-Trump channels. After all, the GOP victors must be gracious to their opponents, and they certainly must avoid the hubris and dismissiveness the progressives have…

How President-Elect Donald Trump Can Still Win Maryland’s 10 Electoral College Votes — Thanks (In Part) to Former State Senator Jamie Raskin
President-elect Donald Trump could still win Maryland’s 10 Electoral College votes from the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. Yes, you read that right.

With Marc Elrich Termed Out of the County Exec Race in 2026, Who Aims for the Throne?
With the overwhelming passage of additional term limits on the County Executive position in Montgomery County, MD, the 2026 election season is shaping up to be more interesting, at least locally.

Councilmember Evan Glass Sows Hysteria, Promotes Mental Health Resources to “Process the Election Results”
Montgomery County Councilmember Evan Glass, who we’ve profiled repeatedly here, here and here… is back with a “Glass Gazette” post-election day to Montgomery County taxpayers and constituents.
