"NOBODY WANTS TO
COME HERE TO
CREATE JOBS"
Last week, at a debate in Clarksburg, a question was asked regarding where growth in the county should be located to create jobs.
I am not opposed to development or growth. I'll be glad to support the White Flint and Science City plans when the necessary infrastructure is in place to support those massive developments. And after we have first filled all of the existing, vacant office space we currently have in the county.
I talk about this, and then make some very frank comments regarding the economic development situation under the failed leadership of the Montgomery County Council.
Watch the video right now:

The economic development "authority" passed by the council does not make the changes necessary to attract large corporations. It simply creates another level of costly bureaucracy, and adds new taxes on county businesses (if they haven't gone out of business by then already). It is a phantom economic development plan, much like the phantom "fiscal policy" the council adopted weeks ago. Not surprising, since these are the folks that invented the phantom COLA, right?
If you agree with my comments in the video, please email it to 10 of your friends who live in Montgomery County today!
