Rockville votes for change: no change

by David Alpert

Great microcosm for the revolution in America. The Mayor of Rockville was some demon-whore who just oozed elitism and arrogance, the woman voted in, Phyllis Marcuccio, shines with beauty and care for people. I don't know much about their policies, beyond she is against pillaging and looting under the guise of 'development', but it's obvious this is a huge change for the better. Note the shills attacking her as crazy, hilarious. - ChrisWhile most of the attention leading up to last week's election focused on the Virginia governor's race, the elections in Rockville carried major repercussions for that city's growth. Or rather, the city's lack of growth, as voters brought in a mayor and new Councilmembers opposed to growth.

By a margin of 313 votes, Councilmember Phyllis Marcuccio unseated current Mayor Susan Hoffman. Marcuccio has built her political base on opposing most development in the City of Rockville. Especially if that development is four stories high. And especially if people making $35-60,000 a year might live there.

The flashpoint in question is Beall's Grant II, a proposed moderate-income housing development at the edge of Rockville Town Center. The Montgomery Housing Partnership wanted to replace their existing Beall's Grant apartments and adjacent vacant lots and parking with a new building. They secured zoning approvals and financing for the project, but required a letter from the Rockville City Council to qualify for federal tax credits. Opponents organized to stop the project, charging that it would bring crime and traffic and overcrowd schools. But others noted that Beall's Grant I is not high-crime and few residents have children in the schools, and if the lot were developed with offices instead, it would bring far more traffic.

Ultimately, the Council refused to provide the letter, stalling the project. Marcuccio was one of the opponents of the project , and ran on a platform of opposition to that project and increased density in general, even in areas like the center of Rockville.

Marcuccio wasn't the only anti-change candidate who prevailed last week. According to DailyKos diarist Enterik, anti-development Council candidates also did well, including Bridget Newton, Vice-President of the anti-Beall's Grant leading West End Civic Association, who won the most votes overall, and Mark Pierzchala, who took the last seat on the Council.

Please note: InformationLiberation is neither liberal or conservative. When one takes the time to research the "liberal elite," whom the conservatives oppose, and the "conservative elite," whom the liberals oppose, one finds both "elite" are one and the same. "Liberal" or "Conservative" is not a substantive choice, it is only the carefully crafted illusion of a choice, for both parties come together when they are instructed to.

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."
A letter written by FDR to Colonel House, November 21st, 1933

"Fifty men have run America, and that's a high figure."
Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, 1936 issue of The New York Times.

If you care to know who runs the world you live in, view these films. If you care not then I leave you with this quote to ponder:

"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution."
Aldous Huxley, Tavistock Group, California Medical School, 1961 Audio - Transcript
