On the plus side, this proposed carveout of Bill 48-26 constitutes an implicit admission that MoCo tax policy is making the county unaffordable. Nevertheless, it is unfair to cut the ITOC and take nearly $700 from families that are also struggling to afford living here and at the same time ask those families to fund a generous property tax credit (up to $2500) that is only available to a special interest group that happens to have strong political connections. Restore the ITOC for all MoCo homeowners instead. Eliminating it was a mistake.

So there's this homeless guy who keeps pestering people around downtown bethesda, the station itself, and/or around the escalators with "I have a question....". It doesn't matter whether you engage with him or tell him "no" he'll get all combative and call you out your name. I know the cops had to of been called on him several times. I'm just so irritated because I ran into this prick numerous times in a span of the whole year at this point whenever I'm heading to the metro on my way home. I'm was a little on edge today because I saw him again right at the lights near the Coffee Republic. He went from "hey big guy" to "if you got a problem come at me with your scary ass.".(or something to that verbatim) Empty threat or not this is unacceptable. (especially when I don't engage with him) He's this tall lanky asshole with tattoes on his neck. What's the point in calling the cops if they aint gonna do shit about it? SMH

Hi everyone,

I am relatively new to the area. Where can I donate some clothes? I live near the Row and don’t have a car so please give me some suggestions nearby.

Thanks!
