Annapolis Capital Punishment

This just in from Eastporter Jim Hunt, an accomplished cartoonist whose works are familiar to people here and across the country:

Paul,
Just read your post regarding the City Planning presentation... First of all, my condolences to you for having suffered through as much as you could stay awake for. I was disgusted (though not surprised) by the fact that Shropshire pulled an all-too-common, pre-emptive, "I have a prior commitment, so let me say something, not take questions and GET OUT OF HERE FAST!". As you know, Mayor McCheese is famous for that routine. In fact, I'll never forget what I felt was a clear depiction of exactly who she is, when a meeting was held @4-5 years ago. A young man was shot (and died) on Madison St. in Harbor House. Lots of bystanders... No witnesses of course. Anyway, an emergency meeting was held at the Fire Station, primarily for people to vent and if lucky enough, confront the powers that be. Well, the meeting starts with Cynthia "How the hell did she ever get elected in the first place" Carter telling everyone to "Not point fingers". Which was of course one of the main reasons for people attending. But the highlight was when Moyer slipped in to the meeting after it began (like Shrek slipping into a China Shop), came up to the microphone and said she's sorry but can only stay for a minute as she had a prior commitment. #@!*

I railed as best I could at the folks seated at the dias, including Snowden and EADES for God's sake! Nothing to see here folks... Move on.

Keep up the good work.
