Guide Guide
Dear Readers,
There will be NO comments about the blind guiding the blind! Gilbert will not stoop so low.

He makes candidate picks and provides telling, often candid, details from his observations as Mayor Pro Tem, Councilmember, and member of the Municipal League. In a couple of instances he uses his insider knowledge to rat out a couple of candidates.
Wiliams’ perspective is the most conservative of the three guides Gilbert reviewed. Of course, in Montgomery County and particularly in Takoma Park, our “conservative” would be “rabid revolutionary” anywhere else. Nevertheless, Williams goes against the progressive grain (that would be whole grain, no doubt) by saying, “this election, particularly the County races, is not about 'development.'” He describes . . . .
