Montgomery County Council Candidates On the Issues at Casey Barn: Park Police, Science City

On Sunday, all at-large candidates for Montgomery County Council met at Casey Barn for a debate sponsored by the District 17 , 39, and Asbury Park Democratic Clubs. Rockville Central was there to capture their answers. The format had the candidates split into two groups, just to keep things manageable.

After the typical introductory remarks” segment, the moderator asked a series of eight questions. Each question was answered by all candidates in one panel — so each candidate answered four questions.

The first two questions were:

• Do you support merging the Park Police with the Police Department?
• Do you support the ‘Science City’ project?

Here are the answers to the first two questions:

Do you support merging the Park Police with the Police Department? (Answered by Duchy Trachtenberg, Jane de Winter, Nancy Floreen, Raj Narayanan)

. . . . .

Do you support the ‘Science City’ project? (Answered by George Leventhal, Becky Wagner, Fred Evans, Hans Riemer, Marc Elrich)

We will be posting video over the rest of the week, in three more installments. Stay tuned!

(Note that on the “Science City” answer, we had to cut video between Riemer’s and Elrich’s answers. Nothing of substance was removed; this was just because our finger slipped!)
