Time to overhaul MontCo administration



Re: “IG slams handling of tuition program,” March 9

The fraud, mismanagement and waste that continues in Montgomery County is just amazing.

The latest waste and fraud of taxpayer money, just revealed, deals with county administration handling of the tuition assistance programs.

Looks as if hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money again have been wasted by the county administration. There seems to be a total lack of control in managing taxpayer money as the waste just continues.

The Montgomery County administration continues to keep a closed eye on illegal immigration, which also is a huge drain of the budget and taxpayer money and just wastes more and more. The county under the present administration has become an undesirable place to work, live and retire.

It is high time changes are made at the voting polls to elect conservatives who have some fiscal responsibility, and to quit wasting and squandering our taxpayer money. The neglect, waste and total lack of oversight just continue under the present liberal Democratic Montgomery County administration.

Voters must reform, transform government

 

Re: Rep. Patrick Kennedy

Patrick Kennedy’s outburst in Congress makes a confusing point. The Congress is passing mass incomprehensible legislation, the press is a mess, and the people don’t trust either of them. Indeed, the public sphere is being strangled by political propaganda, lawyers, intellectual idiots, celebrity obsession, crazy activists and criminals.

Meanwhile, the people are left swimming against a riptide of government growth and intrusion, struggling to breathe from the suffocation of taxation, and fighting to keep from drowning from the loss of liberties.

Reforming and transforming America are supposed to be the political words of wisdom, but they are entirely misdirected. Surely, the media need to reform themselves. And if we are to survive the reckless failures of social, political and economic good intentions, the voters must reform and transform government back to the limitations intended by our Founders, our Constitution, and We, the people.
