It's now been proven that the people of District 4 still want what we repeatedly elected Marilyn Praisner for - representation on the Council that knows and advocates for those who live in District 4 and send our kids to school here. We again rejected carte blanche tax inceases, union influence, misrepresentations, and inexperience on the Council.

Remember, noone was wringing their hands and clamoring for change in District 4 until a few weeks ago.....

Godspeed Don Praisner!

GO PRAISNER!

Jubilant Mark Fennel hit the ground running this morning at 6:30 a.m., thanking voters for their support in the Primary for 2 and 1/2 hours at the Glenmont Metro station. He had a six foot wide thank you sign. Fennel, 42, has the energy of a man ten years younger .Unlike his opponent Don Praisner, who has told JustUpthePike blog that he would just as soon be playing golf with his daughter in Hawaii as serving on the Montgomery County council, Fennel is not running as a lame duck just to keep the seat warm. He intends to focus on the 4th District while the four council members at-large focus on county-wide issues. "The recent loss of the wonderful Amish Market of Burtonsville to Prince Georges County, took place because nobody was minding the 4th District's store," he said.

With his lovely, smart, bi-lingual wife Estela, a legal immigrant from Central America and their 7 month old son, "not-so-silent Cal," Mark will keep the views of ALL county residents and the future of Montgomery County in mind, not just for the next two years, but beyond.

Fennel accused Don Praisner of "triple witching," which is telling the MCEA and MCFT that you will fund their desires, then telling the public that you are a "fiscal conservative," then supporting the biggest property tax increase in 20 years. Fennel challenged Praisner to make public the written answers Praisner submitted to the MCEA questionnaire questions 1 and 3 where he promised to fund MCEA's 30% three year pay increase.

"With a recession and $4 gas with 401k's taking, after increases in state sales, income, car and corporate taxes and hikes in water, Metro and electricity bills, as well as record numbers of foreclosures, we need property tax relief," Fennel said. "And the old shell game of replacing some of the huge property tax hike with another energy tax hike, won't work either," Fennel said.
Mark is a long-time employee of the national non-profit Citizens Against Government Waste and an expert in looking for waste, mismanagement and inefficiency- commodities is long supply in Rockville.

While I'm sure Mr. Praisener is doing a noble thing, I doubt that it is best for this county. If one party controls everything, will anything ever get done? Two years ago, in anger for their inaction, the country punished many in office and it is time to do it again.

Are you better off today than you were two years ago? If you answered yes, then vote for Praisner, you'll be able to afford the tax hikes. If you said no, vote for Mr. Fennel so you might be able to keep what you have.

The one party game of politics in this state is eating up our future and our children's future. I refuse to do nothing and I will vote against any incumbent regradless of the party. I will vote against ever proposal that will cost this county money and I will not go quietly into that voting booth.

VOTE THEM ALL OUT AND KEEP DOING IT TILL MARYLAND LAWMAKERS LEARN!

You say "vote for Praisner, you'll be able to afford the tax hikes"

Once again, Praisner is on record publicly and repeatedly as being NOT IN FAVOR of tax increases.

Please be correct.
