Check out where the Montgomery County Planning Board's Planning Director sends her children to school. It's not MCPS!
This video clip is from the January 12, 2016, Board of Education meeting discussion conerning putting MCPS children in commercial office space instead of public school buildings.
Interesting. I wonder if the planning director even lives in Montgomery County. Kind of unsettling that the person who is in charge of planning our county doesn't even live in our county.
ReplyDeleteBut wait. Montgomery County Finance Director Joseph Beach doesn't live in Montgomery County, either. He lives in Anne Arundel County. That means that he does not pay Montgomery County income tax or Montgomery County property tax. Sales tax goes to the state, so he doesn't pay sales tax to Montgomery County, either. Since he lives in Anne Arundel County, any children that has do not go Montgomery County schools. HE PAYS ABSOLUTELY NO TAX TO MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONNECTION TO MONTGOMERY COUNTY OTHER THAN BEING EMPLOYED HERE but he is one of primary players in determining how Montgomery County taxpayer money is spent.
More interesting: Where does Casey Anderson, the Planning Board Chair, send his kids to school?
ReplyDeleteI think that for top officials, just like DC and most likely other jurisdictions that appointee and department heads should live in the county where they work. One hopes that Gwen Wright is paying DC tuition, if not...new job opens up in MoCo if she is not a District resident. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteYou just pointed out a loophole.
DeleteShe has never lived in Montgomery County. On the other hand Mr. Leggett appointed people to his 'Transit Task Force' that don't live in Montgomery County.
ReplyDeleteThen, should it be called 'Transient Task Force?'
