The discussion around reparations will never end. The people that support some sort of reparations will never agree to what is an appropriate solution. A one time payment of a check will be short solution that will provide little relief, will be criticized as not enough by some and will hurt the taxpayers, many of which had nothing to do with slavery or had any connection to it. Or as stated in the article perhaps some kind of free or subsidized job training, which certainly seems better as teaching a man to fish is better than just handing him a fish such as a check. The article mentions rent freezes, which again is a horrible solution, as we see time and time again, rent freezes often hurt the very people they are trying to help. There’s no easy answer to this and any “final solution” to it will be constantly criticized by everyone and the debate will never end even if some form of reparations is ever passed. It’s a lose-lose issue.

Comment on If Montgomery County Really Wanted Affordable Housing, It Would Open Up the Agricultural Reserve by bob cissel

It’s been 45 years since our County Council and Park and Planning had the vision and the foresight to create our Agricultural Reserve. Caroline numbers listed in the above comment are spot on and I would hope that anyone that would post a statement like this would have done more homework.

We have a vibrant group of ag producers that during convid stepped up production to make sure the folks that really needed food support had the nutrition they needed.

Our farmers are some of the best in the country. They use the most modern equipment and technology to ensure their operations are delivering high quality food for people and the animals that are grown in the mid Atlantic region.

I suggest you visit the next farm tour and stop by the barns at our county fair in
Gaithersburg. It starts next Friday.

My name is Bob Cissel and I’m the executive director of Montgomery Agricultural Producers.

Comment on State Roundup: Removal of remnants of Key Bridge begins; number of Baltimore minors killed in gun violence drops; Howard raises penalties for paid house parties by RT

I don’t believe one second that Khadija Walker will have no problem doing a collective 5 hour commute everyday. I personally do 10 hour shifts and 2 hour collective drive and don’t have family and that is rough on me. With only a few hours at home to do whatever I need to do. That commute is going to weigh on her and she will either cut her hours in office or lose energy to do the job from travel burnout. The Bal Co Executive is pulling the same Tactics as Trump because the previous IG was doing her job too well and exposing the the leaderships corruption within the county. No wonder they want someone who lives far away and most likely doesn’t give a crap about Bal Co corruption because she does not live in MD let alone Bal Co.
