First and foremost, our sincere prayers are with the families of the victims of this event. And not for one second did we ever doubt that our first responders would turn their backs on an emergency. They are like buffalo – they face the storm straight on. However, we are a bit, shall we say…
Wellllll, since the Apple endorsed candidates will not be transparent and release the answers they provided to the Apple Ballot Questionnaire and since MCEA will not release the answers the candidates provided…..we will. This of course does not cover any additional interviews the candidates took part in, what they might have been asked, and how…
In an op-ed piece on MoCo 360, Council Member Evan Glass called for more transparency in how the school system uses the money we lavish upon it—voluntarily or otherwise.

Local “democracy” dying in darkness? Where is the correct attribution by CE Elrich to local Democrat mega-donor Mr. Vincent DeMarco?
