Oh Yeah....now our embattled mayor is selling paperweights celebrating 300 Years of elected government! Here is what the official city news release says (with CP's comments in italics):
Don't miss this opportunity to purchase the Official City of Annapolis Charter 300 Medallion celebrating 300 Years of Elected Government in the City of Annapolis.
(Who would want to miss this opportunity to make fun of our current elected government?)
This limited edition sure to become a collectors item!
(Without a doubt. Did they mean "is sure to become" or "edition sure to become"....The one lasting impression of the failed Moyer Administration. Only ten million of these rare items have been struck. Be the first in your ruined sidewalk, pockmarked, bullet-ridden street to have one.)
$60 for the Certified Silver Medallion from Northwest Territorial Mint. A proof quality piece of 1 Troy Ounce of Fine Silver. (As in Ellen of Troy?)
$25 for the lovely and practical nickle paperweight. Makes a great gift for anyone, anywhere that loves the City of Annapolis. ($25? Why not just send one to each of the suckers who sent in their sidewalk tax instead of refunding them their money? Those of us that still love the City of Annapolis do not necessarily love its elected government....which is what this celebrates)
Please fill out this form, make checks payable to City of Annapolis, and mail to:
(Oh yeah, I can't wait to send in yet more money....)

(Interesting...so that's what a special projects coordinator does? What if our government loses money on this? The best way to celebrate our elected government will be to elect a new one in November, 2009. Let's all send more money in to our government!)Dear Aldermen--How did this one slip through the cracks? Why did we not at least let local retailers do this? Our police headquarters is not yet done. The Market House debacle continues. Our buses air conditioners do not work. But we've got medallions. How much of our tax dollars will be sunk into this one? I could go on and on, but...what's the use?
"NO CELEBRATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION....on a medallion"

But the question is did Karen Engkle' s"partner" have a hand in the design and did the city pay her firm for the work?
Dear Anonymous:
That is a good question, but the question is also "who are you?". Please stand by what you say. I do it on this blog every day.
