To tax or not to tax

What's a Dem to do? Montgomery County Commissioner Jim Matthews is calling for a tax increase, but his partner in politics, Joe Hoeffel has been oddly quiet on the issue. Here's the deal. Joe has a snow ball's chance in hell of getting re-elected to begin with, but if he starts backing Jim's call for a tax increase he can kiss the snow ball goodbye. So, what do you say, Joe?

  1. Dear Scoop -

    It turns out that you are right. It appears that the MontCo Dems really are going to bid Commissioner Hoeffel adieu next Summer. That assumes that they can find two willing, viable candidates for the Fall 2011 election; not a done deal as of this writing. Good cal on your part. Keep it up.
