Annapolis Capital Punishment

This will warm your heart...and you can learn how Ward Three Aldermanic Candidate Scott Bowling is related to The Exorcist..... His web-site is active and readers can learn about Scott by clicking on his ad (does not affect revenue). Scott says he was "inspired his mother, Anna, to take action on the opportunities that she perceived in Cottage City by prodding and coaxing her to seek office as a Cottage City Commissioner, representing Ward 1. He served as her de facto campaign manager and chief political advisor. Her success in winning and preserving the growth and vitality of the town, lead her to hold the seat for more than 16 years. According to Wikipedia, Cottage City is a town in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States. The population was 1,136 at the 2000 census. The story that was the basis for the 1971 novel and 1973 movie The Exorcist has its roots in Cottage City...Mayoral Candidate Sam Shrophire has a lot of detailed and perhaps even visionary ideas presented on his web-site which has been recently updated. I recommend you visit by clicking on the ad on this page (it does not affect revenue). However, in one of his commitments, he lays out a pretty remarkable and no doubt controversial series of proposals, which he calls commitments:

1. Business property owners should reduce rents to allow business operators some flexibility in cash flow.
2. Business owners/managers should reduce prices on products and services to encourage a renewed flow of business into the city.
3. Employees should agree to either work one or two hours a week without compensation (i.e., get paid for 38 hours but work 40) to add further cash flow to the business owners.
4. The city government should consider property tax reduction for business property owners; establishing a marketing strategy to appeal to shoppers in other local markets to 'come to downtown Annapolis.'
