ReplyAn individual cannot contribute more than $500 to any campaign under the current or proposed code but several candidates in the previous election found a way around it through seeking funding from same person through multiple LLC's. All reporting by candidates of contributions must go through the Gaithersburg Board of Supervisors of Elections and must then be certified by that body. You can find the full election code in the city website at Gaithersburgmd.gov/elections

ReplyWhere is the part about NOT condoning anonymous attacks Jud? That is sorely missing from your "official" statement and just another part of the continuing "thumbprint." I guess I shouldn't have expected that kind of a gallant statement from you after what I have seen in the past.

ReplyHey Andrew, i just looked and confirmed it, Foo Bar is the same person as Detective Vince Korsak from last August's comments about Gaithersburg's Shady Grove Great Indoors annexation. The detective must have forgotten his password. Guess he should have written it on his Gaithersburg Book Festival bookmark for safekeeping.

ReplyYou should be ashamed of yourself and by hiding behind an alias you have proved just how much of a spoiled child you really are. Yes, I do indeed know who you are now. You just cannot hide it--The way you write is like a thumb print.

ReplyThe statements made by Foo Bar are by one of the current council members or a spouse and from the syntax, I'm sure I know who it is. You should be ashamed of yourself for stooping this low.

ReplyThe comment from Councilmember Drzyzgula clearly shows the ethical quandary that effects the elected officials in Gaithersburg. It is clear that by making this loosening of financial disclosure at the municipal level, the top issue on their legislative agenda, they are looking out for own self interests and not the best interests of Gaithersburg or Maryland.

ReplyTom, thank you for writing this article and sharing your letter. I am from Gaithersburg and am appalled that our city officials are using city resources to push for loosening financial disclosure at the municipal level. In fact, this is the number one issue on the city's legislative agenda for the upcoming fiscal year--above transportation and revitalization. Over the years I have found, they have difficulty in conducting themselves in an ethical manner and their continuing actions to undermine ethical standards are making that abundantly clear.

The city election code is a farce. As they have repeatedly shown since attaining office, the election code in Gaithersburg is being manipulated and used as a tool by the incumbents to maintain office. They have and will freely circumvent the code while holding all challengers accountable.
