That's the title of a Chicago tribune article. I will have a little to say about this if you care to follow me below the fold.

Well the votes, all 6,406 of them (17.39% trun-out) have been tallied. The only way to describe the results is "See change" with newly elected officials riding in on a wave of anti-development sentiments and poorly scaled fiscal penury.

Well, the challenges of work and new parenthood have brought me up short...yet again, as such I will not be realizing my full treatment of all the issues at hand nor the various candidates positions on such before tomorrows vote. If you are looking for whatever in depth analyses I was able to format for public consumption, then please peruse my recent diaries. In this diary, I will state concisely which candidates have garnered my votes and a passing approximation of why...

I am running out of time to appraise, in depth, would be readers of all the issues relevant to this years mayoral election in the City of Rockville. Thus, I am forced to offer an abbreviated synapsis to contrast the position of incumbent Mayor Susan Hoffman and challenger 2-term councilmember Phyllis Marcuccio.

The issues to be touched upon will include; Once-weekly trash service with single stream recycling, Cost of living raises for city employees, and RedGate Golf course.

Please refer to prior diaries for my analysis of fiscal year 2010 budget and Beall's Grant II affordable housing development.

The City of Rockville, Maryland holds non-partisan elections for Mayor and 4 Councilmembers 2-year terms during odd numbered years (this year on November 3rd). This year is unusual in that a sitting Mayor, Susan Hoffman, is being challenged by an incumbant councilmember, Phyllis Marcuccio (which hasn't happened since 1987). In this diary, I have brought together what web resources are available, summarized each candidates positions on the affordable housing development projects, Bealls Grant II.

Rather than fill precious time and space with more blather on the "need for civility" I'm going to revisit a topic that impacts more than 500 households in the Linfield, Fireside, Waddington Park, Courthouse Walk and Hungerford neighborhoods. This topic is the most recent traffic pattern modification to West Argyle Street in Rockville, Maryland. This is a case where the interests of a few has far outweighed the interest of the many. Follow me below the fold for all the details and the candidates answers...

Because the dearth of issues driving voter interest there seems to be a persistant assertion by most of the candidates of a need for "civility". Rather than focus on such pointless posturing, I have canvassed the candidates with questions of my own design. I gave them one week to respond before I posted. I include the first of my 3 questions, this one regarding Rain Barrels, and the responses I received in this diary.

The City of Rockville, Maryland holds elections for Mayor and City Council two year terms in odd years. On November 3, 2009 voters must select one of two mayoral candidates and 4 of 10 city council candidates.

With the retirement of Ann Robbins from City Council and City Councilmember Phyllis Marcuccio's challenge to the mayoral incumbency former city councilmember Susan Hoffman (protege of former Mayor Larry Giammo), this years elections the potential to radically reshuffle the city council and it's idealogical composition. In total, two of the four city council seats are vacant of incumbant candidates.

If you have been looking for an easy resource that provides direct links to all the candidates web pages, look no further...If you are looking for in depth analyses and voting recommendations, you'll have to look at my diaries in the upcoming days.
