Go Upper Montgomery County!

Hello residents of Upper Montgomery County. I started this blog because I am fed up with how elected officials in Montgomery County are subservient to downcounty interests and continue to neglect our needs. Upcounty schools rank far below their downcounty counterparts. The Germantown Library was held up by a pattern of incompetence that would not be permissible in Rockville. Relief to County commuters in the form of mass transit is an idea of the future, with virtually every County leader prioritizing the controversial and routeless Purple Line ahead of the CCT. And the worst case of mistreatment by the County: the “Clarksgate” scandal where developers were given the go ahead by planning officials to violate approved plans.

In the coming days, weeks, and months I will post about developments, issues, and miscellaneous comments about the Upcounty. I hope to engage the community, from Clarksburg to Germantown to Gaithersburg and Damascus, to understand some of the issues facing the area. Go Upper MoCo!
