Did you know Ike Leggett's proposal to eliminate RideOn 3 in Silver Spring will put approx. 100 additional cars on the road? That sounds "green" to me!

$70 million in proposed cuts to education, police, seniors, and taxi service for the disabled, and yet that only scratches the surface in a $640 million budget shortfall!

Expect a second shipment of Federal "funny money" from the Obama administration to cover a lot of the Democratic deficits in Rockville and Annapolis this year, in a "surprise" award of more "stimulus funds," aka "get-failed-Democrats-reelected-at-taxpayer-expense funds."

I don't believe they can cover over $600 million in debt without devastating MCPS in the process. Will Democrat delegates and senators actually vote to CUT money for education in Annapolis this session? In an election year? That will take some nerve, and a whole lot of that Washington Post/local liberal media magic to make that work.

More portables. Crowded classrooms. Less ESOL and special education.

Will the voters buy that this November?
