@JaredDeMarinis My wife and I already voted. Our ballots appeared to be correct. Will those votes count or do we need to vote again?

Honored to have the enthusiastic support of Mayor Jud Ashman and members of the Gaithersburg City Council in this race. Together, we’ve delivered real results - from securing federal funding to increasing economic opportunities.

We must have the juiciest juice in the DC region. Our juice costs about 50% more, so it must be better. Electricity @ 20 cents/kwh vs. NoVa at 14 cents. Their data centers must run on less juicy juice.

@ModeratelyMoco Yes, but there seems to be no way to fix it.

@AlexMue72117153 It appears that the solid waste fee increase is going into a separate fund, which already has $100 million in it. The plan, such as it is, will replace the current solid waste incinerator in Dickerson with some other form of waste disposal. Cost and time completely unknown.

[Neil Harris @NeilHarrisSays]

Another 7%+ increase in your county tax? The proposed budget includes a 31% increase in your "solid waste fee", which increased by over 400% in 2021. That increase will cost you more than the proposed 3.5% increase in the property tax rate, which increased by 7% 2 years ago.

The White House announced that Greenland, Canada, and Panama, along with NATO, were just an April fool.

City council member is "mad as heck" about gigantic fee hike https://t.co/gaJG6iyEBJ

[Neil Harris @NeilHarrisSays]

A correction: the solid waste fee did not increase by 400% in 2021. My own fee did increase by that amount due to a reclassification of my, and my neighbors, building types, which I am currently investigating with the assistance of the county environmental staff.

[Neil Harris @NeilHarrisSays]

@AlexMue72117153 The 3.5% property tax increase is funding schools. The solid waste fee is otherwise.

@Daniel653169632 @mddems @GovWesMoore This post refers to a Montgomery County fee, not from the state government.
