TO TOP IT OFF...

This past Friday, I presented the first detailed analysis of the Montgomery County Council's new fiscal "policy" to be printed anywhere.

But a story in the Sentinel newspaper just added the capstone to the council's folly, and the austerity package that wasn't!

As I mentioned Friday, the new policy does not reduce spending, fantasizes that there will be no shortfalls anymore (even while not reducing that aforementioned spending!!), calls for a questionable 10% reserves when we can't even pay for 6% right now, assumes there will be a massive increase in revenue, doesn't restructure government, and would require a gargantuan tax increase.

Here's the new twist, according to Paige Hill of the Sentinel:

"Compliance is not mandatory."

In other words, the whole thing isn't only smoke and mirrors, but mainly just smoke! Smoke, and an election year joke played on the taxpayers of Montgomery County.

If the spending guidelines (which aren't even delineated in the plan, which also has loopholes to be exploited by the council) are not enforceable, how would the plan have any effect?

How would spending guidelines overrule binding labor agreements signed off on by the council?

On this 4th of July, let's remember the values this nation and county were founded upon. Those included low taxes. And citizens serving a short time in government, not professional politicians who would make a career of taking the public's money and benefitting themselves and their political cronies.

This council is no better than you, the People of Montgomery County. In fact, you pay their salaries. You are the boss. They take orders from you, not the other way around - but you'd have a hard time knowing that, witnessing these folks in action.

Restore the values and fiscal responsibility Montgomery County was founded on this November! Before firing up the grill, going to the fireworks displays, or heading back out to the beach, can you watch this video message...
