“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” wrote the author of The Life of Reason, back in 1905. That quote seems pretty fitting for Montgomery County, MD. Twenty-plus years of taxing, spending, chasing out “unapproved” businesses or groups. Petty regulations and taxes (plastic shopping bags, for example). Agenda-driven County Council “proclamations”…

Did you ever expect to see in the hallways of an MCPS school a sign directing…

In 2016, Montgomery County residents emphatically (69%) passed a ballot initiative that amended the Montgomery County Charter. Term Limits! No more dynastic, 24-year council “reigns” on a council body by career politicians. Hence forth, they’d be “limited” to…
