🚀 go-pugleaf

rag on the woefully ineffective county council, whose behavior characterizes
(and carictures) the paper thin code of responsibility present politicians
seem to adhere to.  Everything from educational to environmental policy
has been talked about and argues about, but in the end, keeping poor
people out of the county and keeping the money rolling into rich people's
pockets seems to be the councils objective.  Their squirming on the
school funding issues and support of the ludicrous InterCounty Connector
(the InterCounty job Creator to further boost the economy of MC and
give some needed jobs to PG county) leads me to beleive that even if
the county had control of it's ability to impost a stricter gas tax,
it wouldn't do anything anyway.  Let's also face the fact that most
adults detest taking the bus becuase it is such a pain in the ass.
you have to wait around for the damn thing to come, and you have to
rearrange your life to meet the bus' schedule.  The metro is not like
the Paris metro, which is an effective substitute for a car; it is only
for getting commutters in and out of the city.  We need a train system
that can replace buses.  blah blah blah...
