I hope one day the Exec’s new “Baths of Rockville” will be on a tourist stop for local Washingtonians. Can’t wait!

Price a little steep? Have you seen how much it costs to expand and renovate a bathroom at home?

For the privilidge of living in Montgomery County and paying the highest taxes in the region, I’m glad my County Executive will get to sit on a golden toilet and wipe his ass with our hard earned tax dollars (literally).

Re: Leggett's $65,000 bathroom

It does send a bad message to the average taxpayer that it is ok to spend $65,000 on the County Exec's bathroom at a time when our property taxes are going up. I don't believe the bathroom is an extravagance (after all, who wants a smelly County Exec) but the price does seem a bit steep.

Hook & Ladder could put pubs in all the active fire depts. to help subsidize them, saving them from budget cuts. I’m not ready for higher taxes, but I am always ready for another beer. How cool would that be, getting toasted in an observation deck bar over the new fire station, watching the trucks fly out the door!
