TOWLER: Is this the 'New Maggie'?

Recommend Blog Post

Is this the new face of the Republican Party?

The county won't appeal the court's ruling that killed the FAIR Plan, and the suburban school districts will get their share of the county's sales tax. That puts the county's finances into massive trouble, but it erases the conflict between the county and the suburbs. If we had a chart tracking developments that are "New Maggie" and those that are "Old Maggie," this one would get a checkmark under "New." (The last-minute nomination of a new MCC board member is, obviously, "Old." OK: Brooks doesn't select the board members. So that was "Old Republican County Legislature.") 

Still, Brooks is going to have to figure out how to make up the shortfall. Will she adopt a truly fair, one-community solution? Or will some Monrovians suffer more than others? That'll be a real Old-New test.
