How about matching any funds these lobbyists contribute and see how bad they really want this boondoggle. PG and Montgomery counties are two of the wealthiest in the country–why should we be a resource for their high society conveniences when our existing roads have become unsafe? …they are a big reason we got eight years of Owe Malley, and don’t think Owe Malley hasn’t already [given] away plenty on projects in those two counties.

In my humble opinion, the CCPS should have been given much less for their failed administration and more money should have been given for the maintenance of county roads.

Road maintenance “directly” benefits all of us. The $4.25M increase given to the CCPS only directly benefits students, parents and CCPS employees, and hopefully (and I say hopefully) will benefit residents sometime in the future. As of right now I say it is not benefitting us because crime is up, local prostitution is up, drug abuse is up, etc. So I’d say the school system is not teaching our kids to be productive in society.

But our roads could have been fixed right now.
