Annapolis Capital Punishment

A news release from Sam Shropshire seems to me to be a thinly veiled attack on the environmental credentials of his opponent Josh Cohen... Noting how our waterways remain severely polluted, his news release states "Alderman Sam Shropshire is once again asking the county to follow Annapolis’ lead in passing stricter laws to control residential and business stormwater runoff and to restrict phosphate use in lawn fertilizers. Shropshire, who describes himself as being “pretty damn angry”, is lashing out. He feels that the County Council is “gutless” to take a stand in enacting legislation that will help clean up our waterways."...I am not sure how much mileage Shropshire will get out of this. Unless I am mistaken, Cohen was a supporter of stronger storm water controls....I am not even sure if it's appropriate for a member of city council to vent like this against members of county council. What do readers think? Is this an attack on Cohen? Is Shropshire out of line or is he fighting the good fight?....We continue to ask, where is Kenny Kirby? The putative Ward 6 Democratic candidate is not listed in the telephone book, there is no phone number on his web-page and he does not answer emails. Perhaps he thinks that the 1925 photo of his Uncle Jack tells us what we need to know about him.. Cohen is going to do some cleaning up of his own, this time with Ward Four Alderwoman Sheila Finlayson...I guess this means she has hitched her horse to his wagon.
