MoCo to pay $26,400 annual rent for Brookeville communications tower

Montgomery County is preparing to enter into a five-year lease of property at 4301 Brookeville Road in Brookeville for the purpose of erecting a new public safety radio system communications tower and related equipment. According to a County document, the County will pay $26,400 in annual rent to the property's owner, The Jane C. Nash Trust.
The tower is part of a public safety communications system upgrade that the County Council has recklessly put off for over a decade. Several of the towers, especially those proposed for Potomac and Olney, have encountered strong objections from residents, in particular because the Council's 11th hour 180 to finally fund the upgrade left little time for a full public process and discussion.

  1. You whine about the problems with the emergency communications system, and then when the County does something about it, you whine even more.

    Whine, whine, whine. That's all you ever do. And you wonder why no one ever votes for you.

    1. Whoa - bad attempt at diversion from the County Council waiting over 10 years to upgrade the system. Even when people vote for me, somebody changes their vote in the computer later, so let's be fair, old sport.

    2. "somebody changes their vote in the computer later,"? Do you have proof irrefutable proof, that this occured, or are you creating a false narrative to defend your weak platform? This statement is utterly ridiculous and without merit, unless you have facts.

    3. What a depressingly desperate conspiracy theory to toss out, old sport.

    4. 2:51: I have the facts - the vote totals for each precinct, where dozens of precincts countywide show anomalous results. Anyone can confirm this by looking at the 2018 results By Precinct on the Board of Elections website.

    5. Just how do you know that "your voters" votes where changed? Did you go and violate the voting system and snoop? This is sheer conjecture on your part because you LOST!

    6. 9:54: Nope - it's sheer discovering impossible voting results at dozens of precincts. Precincts randomly all over the county where 20, 25, 30 people all decided they would vote for one other Republican, and NOT vote for me? LOL - at least try to make it look realistic.

    7. So they rejected your advice to not vote for your three Republican running mates, and voted for them instead of you. Looks like you got burned.

    8. 1:01: You need remedial reading courses - this was in some precincts, and they didn't vote "for three Republicans," they randomly voted for one who never even campaigned nor appeared in public, while not voting for the rest of the Republicans. Not possible.

  2. "The Council's 11th hour 180 to finally fund the upgrade left little time for a full public process and discussion."

    Plenty of public process and discussion, with lots of stalling by the NIMBYs and their ally Marc Elrich, needlessly delaying this much needed component of our County's emergency communications system. Just because they lost in the end doesn't mean the process and discussion didn't happen.

    1. LOL - that was the shortest "stalling" I've ever seen. The actual delay was the Council waiting over 10 years to do this. How do you explain that, Boy Friday?

  3. Boy Friday? Are you this nasty in person?

    1. No, because if he was, he'd be powerbombed into next week.

    2. 12:43: Nothing nasty - that's just the traditional description for his job, getting coffee and dry cleaning for the councilman.

  4. At least he has a job compared to your.

    1. 6:33: "Compared to your" - LOL. You're in no position to know anything about my employment history nor finances. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

  5. So Robert regarding your 12:47 post. What candidate? Where is this data posted? Are you an expert in statistics and probability?

    1. The GOP candidate supposedly chosen over me shifts from precinct to precinct where the anomalies are found. One can simply look at County Council At-Large general election results "By Precinct" on the Board of Elections website.

      When you look at the overall results, you find I was far-and-away the top choice countywide by around 6000 votes over the next-highest GOP finisher. Therefore, there is a very, very low "probability" that 25 or 30 people in dozens of random precincts would all buck that clear trend as one hive mind - and just happen to all pick the same random GOP alternative candidate, and not vote for the other 3 GOP candidates in the race.

      Clear proof of voting results tampering, or illegal voters, or both.

    2. That is supposition and not fact, nor proof. Even Republicans will laugh you off your high horse on this one. While some applaud this gaffe of yours, others genuinely pity you.

    3. 10:08: Actual data is "supposition?" Not on this planet. Join us in the real world!

    4. The only data you have is that people voted for candidates other than yourself. Anything beyond that the product of your paranoid, megalomaniac delusions.

    5. No, sir, the data shows the voting results were tampered with. Anyone can examine the precinct results for themselves.

    6. Have you reported this to the proper authorities - FBI, FEC, Maryland and Montgomery County police - yet?

      If not, why not?
