For Dyer's claim to be true, at least 89,614 of these new residents, or 9% of the County's 2018 population, would have to be "illegal immigrants".

The main difference is that NoVa also enjoyed an influx of wealthy and ultra-wealthy MoCo residents into their tax base, thanks to our high cost of living and high taxes. Montgomery's major problem is that the population growth is mostly too low income to cover the exploding costs of services they require.<br /><br />6:29: LOL - they said the same thing about AOC in New York. <br /><br />7:14: It showed that they knew they would have to endorse me if they gave an honest assessment of Riemer, jawando and Glass' thin resumes and lack of accomplishments. At least Gabe showed he could run a major department in government. The other candidates on the GOP side weren't even actively campaigning. I was the only credible Republican candidate with mainstream, common sense proposals to address the many crises we face, and the ed board knew that.Robert Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975969463714952623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-9795363882557518902019-11-17T20:26:04.621-08:002019-11-17T20:26:04.621-08:00"MoCo refugees flooding into NoVa, turned Vir..."MoCo refugees flooding into NoVa, turned Virginia 'blue.'"<br /><br />This could be true only if the "carpetbaggers" from Montgomery County actually came to outnumber native Virginians - which seems extremely unlikely given that the Commonwealth of Virginia has eight times the population of Montgomery County, and that Montgomery County's population has actually grown, not shrunk, by 17% over the past two decades.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-71112976656375652902019-11-17T19:14:58.212-08:002019-11-17T19:14:58.212-08:00Why are you complaining that The Post didn't e...Why are you complaining that The Post didn't endorse Albornoz, Glass, Jawando and Riemer?
