Annapolis Capital Punishment

WHO IS RUNNING FOR MAYOR OF ANNAPOLIS?...who cares?
As if we are not sick of Hillary this and Barack that and Mitt, Rudy etc., etc......and that election, a bit larger in scope than our local one, is still a year and a half away and yet we cannot escape it. So, CP will say it here and now....we don't care who is running for Annapolis Mayor. It's over two years away!!! PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER...IN FACT THE LATER THE BETTER....We are disgusted by the jockeying and the fundraising already taking place. Beware of fundraisers labeled "refill the coffers" or "retire the debt" as they often mean "build the war chest" and where did they get this term "war chest" anyhow? Just watch as the newspapers start looking at the funding filings and use "war chest" in their headlines. The whole thing becomes an obscene and cynical game of raising money to show you can raise money, and about how much A got versus B and will C's third place money showing mean he is not a contender? Look out for the $250 a plate breakfasts and party boat cruises. Okay, so sure it does take money, but how much and how far in advance? Can we just lay off campaigning and stay focused and active where it counts?
And CP is waiting to see which candidate will willingly give up some of his or her power if elected to do the right thing and move us toward a City Manager form of government. After all, will we ever have a candidate with the managerial skills, experience and leadership to truly take the reins of what will soon be an $80 million per year bureaucracy?
