Robert Dyer, Republican candidate for the Montgomery County Council At-Large, discusses how he would help small businesses in the county, at a Rockville debate sponsored by the Citizens League of Montgomery County. Democratic opponent Marc Elrich said that a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system would help small businesses, but Robert points out that BRT could actually be used to drive current businesses out of areas like Aspen Hill. Aspen Hill currently has no transit station. A BRT station would allow developers to build dense, mixed-use development at and around the Aspen Hill Shopping Center. That would force current businesses out, as their stores would first have to close, and then their rents would go up. Successful small businesses would then be replaced by cookie cutter national chains. Don't let it happen! Elect Robert Dyer to get our taxes, regulation and traffic gridlock under control. That will help small business owners and employees, without allowing developers to destroy existing suburban neighborhoods and shopping centers.
