Gaithersblog has some interesting analysis of the election dynamics in the City:
From what I’ve seen and heard, one thing that seems to be getting people the most upset is the involvement of County-, State- and Federal-level politicians in this effort. County Executive Ike Leggett lent his picture and his words to the most recent mailing, and listed supporters include County Council members, County Board of Education members, the Maryland Secretary of Labor and even a US Congressman. This is, to my knowledge, unprecedented in a Gaithersburg City Council race, and I think that it is arguable whether it is appropriate.I'll be curious to hear if and how Gaithersburg follows up on campaign finance complaints. Apparently, City staff removed quite a few illegal signs posted by One Gaithersburg during the campaign according to the Gazette.
