I LOVE GLEN ECHO. I COME HERE ALL THE TIME WITH FAMILY. I HAVE SPENT MY FUNDS TO PROMOTE GLEN ECHO IN MY MAGAZINE, WASHINGTON HOME AND GARDEN.

MY OPPONENT, BRIAN FROSH, LISTED HIS EFFORT TO GET STATE FUNDS FOR GLEN ECHO AS ONE OF HIS MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT IN HIS 23 YEARS IN OFFICE. THAT WOULD BE  IMPRESSIVE - EXCEPT, IN THE TIME PERIOD, THE STATE BUILT BALTIMORE A NEW 220 MILLION DOLLAR FOOTBALL STADIUM... LET ME SEE… IN BETHESDA ….BECAUSE THERE’S NO MONEY… WE HAVE TRAILERS INSTEAD OF CLASSROOOMS – WE’RE SUPPOSED TO LOSE OUR CRESCENT TRAIL FOR LIGHT BECAUSE THERE IS NO MONEY TO PUT THE PURPLE LINE UNDERGROUND AND THE TOLL ON THE ICC IS GOING TO BE OVER $11 BUT THERE’S PLENTY OF MONEY FOR A BALTIMORE FOOTBALL STADIUM. THAT THE TEAM GETS TO USE FOR FREE.
MY OPPONENT SAYS
“HOW CAN I ASK FOR MORE MONEY FOR MONTGOMERY WHEN BALTIMORE’S NEEDS ARE SO GREAT?”  AND HE IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT BETHESDA? THAT’S RIDICULOUS.  WHAT WOULD NOT BE RIDICULOUS IS FOR US TO MAKE SURE HE COMES IN NUMBER 2 IN THIS ELECTION. YOU SEE THAT WOULD BE A PERFECT ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION.  WHO DOES NUMBER TWO WORK FOR?

Purple Line and Who should Pay for it

We need the Purple Line and need to encourage the federal government to share a greater responsibility of funding to allow other new and existing transportation dollars to go toward other projects. If the federal government is placing more personnel in Bethesda on federal work projects, then it should carry more of the funding burden. Comparatively, we would not let a developer do the same?

Millionaires Tax Cost Non-Millionaires Money!

The “Millionaires Tax” is a monument to ignorance and indifference. Money moves. If you make a hostile tax environment, then the money will move to a more friendly state. The millionaire tax chased out of Maryland and the county all the tax revenue the state previously enjoyed. The elected officials who voted for this boondoggle either were ignorant of basic economics or worse, were indifferent to the obvious outcome. I am against the tax as it generates less revenue. Tax policy like this will increase the mass exodus of businesses and high income earners to nearby Virginia. See www.CaveForSenate.com

The Incumbents are Pushing Business out of Maryland

When we analyze the difference in tax structure between Maryland and Virginia, it is abundantly apparent that Virginia supports private industry and Maryland does not. The ability for Montgomery County to attract private industry is dependent on addressing the inhospitable tax situation in the state. I am 100% committed to improving Maryland & Montgomery County's tax situation for business. The incumbent has been an integral component in making Maryland the 4th worst state for the business environment, according to taxfoundation.org.

I finished calling on every home in Cabin John Maryland for my campaign for the state Senate and I have some interesting observations. People care a lot about their schools whether their children go to Whitman Pyle, Little Flower or St. Bart’s. They are not happy about Montgomery county schools being underfunded and services being cut back. Many know that our money has gone to Baltimore but many didn’t know how bad it is. That aside the neighborhood is a great place to raise a family. There was a big pig roast going on and people were having a ball  in spite of the heat. This is a neighborhood where you can find great front porches. It is nice that the new houses put them on as well as the older homes. And they are real front porches. Not the narrow ones put on for appearances only but nice deep ones with plenty of room to practice front porch sittin’ and relaxin’.
