We know why the County Council did what they did and now it's time to use all options available from recalls to primarying them. We must step forward and remove the ones who are getting kickbacks as well as the former drumpf aide who was removed from his position and has been "consulting" a lot. I'd say that's our biggest corruption and issue now.

To piggyback off this, I had a chance to look up how to recall the county commissioners...

We have three options: misconduct in office, incompetency, or willful neglect of duty. I think the way their not only claiming they knew nothing till too late and how they refuse to even speak with the public screams willful neglect of duty. We would have to form a committee then draft a petition, collect signatures from registered voters within a set time then submit to the local election board for verification. We would need a lawyer(s) to help because these old people are seriously entrenched and will not go down without a fight. I think the easiest one would be Harvey, maybe Barr as well(age) and we could prove that sexism is rampant as there's never a woman on the council and I've lived in thos area since 1999.

Great research! This is what democracy looks like! I hope others will step forward to join your committee. I think that I, because I live in Montgomery County, should not.

In my opinion, the county commissioners are financially involved with the LLC who owned and sold the property.

I don’t think this is about “kickbacks”. I believe they are directly profiting from the $102 million sale. I believe they are silent partners in the LLC which is very shady, hq’d in Delaware, but ‘crowd funded’ out of D.C.

One of our county commissioners served as advisor to Trump during Trump’s first term.

I believe he is directly profiting from this.

Im also concerned with the flag and freedom 250 under the signature of a federal employee 😳

The flag in the signature line is probably a Trump-admin requirement for all federal employees, no matter their personal inclination.

America-first jingoism is rampant. I was at the National

Gallery of Art today. The signage was all about “American Art by American Artists.” Although America Art forms just a minor part of the NGA collection. Just more gaslighting. :(
