Mess in Montgomery

Diane Cameron writes on the Montgomery County Greens blog about the problems with development in Clarksburg and what it reveals about how local government sometimes fails to serve the people:

Citizen advocates for historic and ecological preservation have struggled for years with the feeling that too often, (with a few notable exceptions), too many Commissioners and staff are not listening to us, don’t care about preserving a “liveable Montgomery,” and essentially see themselves as the developers’ partners and glorified rubber stampers.
