Annapolis Capital Punishment

CP appreciates comments from readers, even whey they disagree, but especially when they show appreciation for the public service CP is trying to provide. Below are some of the recent emails I have received. Thanks to all who write!

Paul,

I have responded to e-mails from the Mayor and Ray Weaver, after they e-mailed me in
a somewhat contentious way, that a parade was underway and we in the parade would be overjoyed if she got in front of it. Two years is a long time for her to not do anything, as you point out so elegantly. A recall takes about 8000 signatures and probably would take a year to accomplish. Wasted time. We need the Mayor to actually focus on what the electorate wants--safety and security. Meanwhile she is introducing
legislations to put parking meters downtown to collect share change for the homeless. That is what Church socials do. What a waste of her time and energy.

Please keep up the good work.

I think your letter to the Mayor is very factual and heart-felt on your part. I hope that she will take not only the time to read it, but also to consider some of the well articulated points you make about her leadership style and lack of proper management of the City.

Good job, and please do not take any negative responses by her or her cronies personally. Scott Bowling

Paul,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your bold and forthright comments to the mayor. You are right on the mark in every dimension of your letter. None of us have ever intended to be mean spirited and as a group, we have gone to great pains to insure that we stay on message and not get 'personal'. The mayor's remarks after the council meeting were absolutely insulting and perhaps a sign that she is tired or something else serious is going on with her. The situation with the entire city government is appalling and a something many of us are very concerned about.

I hope to meet you and thank you again in person at the next Task Force meeting.

Kindest regards,
