Not only do they need to compensate the taxpayers by paying for their airtime, but under FCC rules, they must give election challengers equal time.<br /><br />This will be an issue in the 2018 campaign, for sure. Especially because the radio station is privately-owned, and doesn't even have the veneer of being a "public access channel," which are already abused by the Council.<br /><br />#LockThemUpRobert Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975969463714952623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-15708441714984639742017-06-05T08:20:04.447-07:002017-06-05T08:20:04.447-07:00Leventhal is not running against Trump, and Trump ...Leventhal is not running against Trump, and Trump is in fact a very very bad man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-6437717862667291642017-06-05T03:03:03.468-07:002017-06-05T03:03:03.468-07:0010:16: And "Donald Trump is a very, very bad ...10:16: And "Donald Trump is a very, very bad man" is a Montgomery County government "news announcement?"<br /><br />No, sir.<br /><br />George Leventhal is an active candidate for County Executive, and he was using the airtime to make campaign statements about the president.<br /><br />Illegal.<br /><br />#LockThemUp<br /><br />10:01: Truth.

What happened is, the Parks department illegally used trail maintenance funds for a "road diet" project on the Parkway. Those funds can only be used to maintain trails, not for road projects.<br /><br />They did not create bike lanes, as they already exist. What they did do was shut down 2 of the 4 lanes on the parkway that taxpayers paid to build, intentionally causing backups and creating a new safety hazard with all of the poles blocking the view of people emerging from the trail.<br /><br />The Council has oversight, and so far has not objected to this illegal use of taxpayer funds. They could be jailed for that. I never said they would be jailed for creating bike lanes. That is a total fiction on your part.<br /><br />I've never, ever stated that "all bike lanes" should be removed. In fact, it is illegal under Maryland state law to remove an existing bike facility without replacing it. I knew that, and the Council did not during a debate.<br /><br />Might help to have councilmembers who know the law, and also know when it's being broken.Robert Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975969463714952623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-70231463767204249782017-06-03T08:47:53.862-07:002017-06-03T08:47:53.862-07:00Dyer @ 8:16 AM - "7:29: The bicycle brigade o...Dyer @ 8:16 AM - "7:29: The bicycle brigade of the MoCo cartel recently did steal part of the park, closing down 50% of the roadway taxpayers paid for."<br /><br />It is news to us all that bicycle riders do not have to pay taxes.<br />It is news to us all that the creation of bike lanes is a theft of property by the County.<br /><br />Good luck in any future election with a platform plank to remove all bike lanes in the County to stop this theft to taxpayers.<br /><br />Good luck in any future election with a platform plank that current Council members should be locked up for having stolen County property for the creation of bike lanes.<br />Bill Castnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350137909796536932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-72501862562729424332017-06-03T08:33:05.002-07:002017-06-03T08:33:05.002-07:008:24: Actually quite well.
