More on King Jerry

You did not think that one blog posting would be enough on this major gaffe by our newest political kingmaker. Here's Council Member George Leventhal's take on it as well as the President of the MoCo Civic Federation, Wayne Goldstein.

This gets to the heart of the issue we have been talking about here at Maryland Politics Watch (MPW). That the unions had private meetings with the School Board President (and known candidate) were they all agreed to follow the lead of King Jerry, an appointed official. These was done because the school unions (MCEA and SEIU) wanted for pay increases totaling a $100 million per year during a recession. King Jerry did it because he is not content to run the 50% of the MoCo budget. He wants it all. I would say who died and made him King; but he appointed himself as King and we better enjoy it.

Ask yourself is that how you want to have things run in MoCo?

All of you who were so quick to comment on the School Board and the Budget posting I did yesterday, please tell us your take on this? It gets the heart of the matter.

But all of you were silent on the King Jerry posting. What gives? Where's the love?

These two issues are related.

Ok who out there defends these meetings? Foolio? Where are you?
