We have previously reported that former Montgomery County Executive and current candidate for re-election Doug Duncan was promoting what he called a "no brainer" deal for placing cell tower compounds on public school playgrounds.    The company that Mr. Duncan was promoting was Virginia based Milestone Communications.
