Congrats on the soft landing Dave Kunes! You’re on a great team! We look forward to working with Will Jawando and the NEW Montgomery Council

Just to be absolutely clear, Montgomery Council appointed Mr. Hill (and all the other current Montgomery Planning Board) as a “TEMPORARY ACTING” Commissioner.

Mr. Verma's testimony states Inspector General of M-NCPPC was actively investigating "possible interference by" Montgomery Council member! SAY WHAT??! Was that investigation concluded? If so, who is HIDING report? Brian Frosh, Former Attorney General of Maryland Councilmember Evan Glass Councilmember Andrew Friedson kevin ABC Steve Bohnel

Heartfelt congratulations to Rep. Jamie Raskin wlection by Democrat colleagues as Ranking Member of Oversight Dems! The country needs you now more than ever!

Livestream 7PM tonight (2/6): MoCo Metro Washington Area Committee of MD General Assembly will consider two imperatively needed bills 104-23 & 105-23 to REFORM the dysfunctional Planning Board. Montgomery Planning @https://youtube.com/channel/UCbZz9T0h3xWo2ZWaEveO-9g Steve Bohnel

Now you know what it feels like to not have a seat at the table. Montgomery County leaders agree something must be done about planning - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…

So, now Montgomery Council feels left out??? After stiff-arming residents who had audacity to oppose bad ZTA's or question re-zoning --while obsequious Montgomery Planning violated open meetings laws and coddled lobbyists...??@albornoz_gabe Katie Shepherd The Washington Post Steve Bohnel

Sadly, Councilmember Andrew Friedson is delivering for #BigDevelopers. His “Treat ‘em Like Mushrooms” (Bill 18-23) rubs out unfunded Office of People’s Council. And, eviscerates last hopes for public empowerment, fairness or transparency in MoCo zoning. Councilmember Dawn Luedtke @MoCoAlliance MCCF

Why setback distances for cell towers matter, a lot. Overloaded with antennas, towers do topple in high winds - risk crushing occupants of nearby homes and apartments…

That powerful PHED Chair was Hans Riemer. He did NOT understand zoning laws and badly fumbled ZTA 19-07, which had to be “corrected” by ZTA 22-01 (for exclusive benefit #BigWireless). Hans now angling for cushy appointment to Chair of Montgomery Planning at QUARTER MILLION $alary.

Is REAL purpose of seemingly minor resolution (buried as 11.11 on consent agenda) to punt authority for MASSIVE Wireless Towers on school grounds to MCPS Dept of Facilities Mgt? So that Moco BOE won’t have to answer parent’s in awkward public meetings? go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Bo…

Huge shoutout to incredible team of parents and residents, who convinced Hearing Examiner to reject bogus application by MCPS and tower operator. Stopped expansion of wireless facility at Woodward. Now tower is FINALLY gone! Board of Education, At-large member Montgomery Council @MoCo360Media Katherine Shaver

The complete lack of transparency in interview process by Montgomery Council is all part of the “cakewalk” to guarantee employment for a term limited former Councilmember, who will soon be anointed as new Chair of Montgomery Planning. The “fix is in.”

From Adam’s article: “The critique …from insiders who have worked with Hans Riemer does not concern his personality … but rather his competence…They recall his botched zoning text amendment on solar panels, which he ultimately voted against…Who votes against their own bill?”

Every resident of MoCo should be listening to this urgent and important MoCo LWV event on May 22nd. The MoCoShow (MCS) Montgomery Council @MoCo360Media Environmental Health Trust

Let’s not forget, Casey’s “executive refreshment station” was in his office for YEARS - and prominently featured (along with on camera boozing) in Montgomery Planning produced videos!! All under Hans Riemer ‘s watch as Montgomery Council PHED Chair. @MoCo360Media The Washington Post

Thank you representative Nadler! Section 106 reviews protect important rights for ALL New Yorkers!!

Huge thanks to @NataliFGonzalez and Councilmember Kate Stewart (she/her) for nominating Artie Harris to be new Chair of Montgomery Planning!! And, Councilmember Andrew Friedson Councilmember Laurie-Anne Sayles Sidney Katz and Kristin Mink (Moving to 🦋Blsky) for your votes!! This is a very positive new direction for ALL of MoCo.

After solidly endorsing a FAILED contender for Chair of Montgomery Planning, great to see dan reed 🦀🏳️‍🌈🇬🇾👋🏾 scrambling to do a VERY rapid pivot and welcome the highly qualified winner. Bygones be bygones.

Why NO signed contracts for #5G antennas in 100+ installed 32' mega-towers replicating all over NYC? Why NO #BIGWIRELESS companies co-signing Sidewalk Labs letter supporting LinkNYC?
