Annapolis Capital Punishment

A young and enthusiastic, though perhaps 100% white crowd of at least 70 people greeted Independent Mayoral Candidate Chris Fox at his announcement at City Dock on Saturday. Fox has an uphill battle to gather the 500 signatures to get on the ballot but is making steady progress. His no-nonsense and non-partisan attitude, and admittedly political neophyte status may resonate with a lot of voters and though he is formally getting into the race later than other candidates, my sense is that he will quickly start attracting more attention. He has already had to clarify his position on public housing which has been misconstrued and misunderstood by some, but at least he is openly discussing it as a major issue. Also see www.eyeonannapolis for its coverage..... We do not yet have a featured guest for this Thursday's Sip N' Blog, although we have invited the sitting aldermen running for re-election. In typical fashion for most of them, they have not responded. Sheila? Dick? Fred? Classie? We have already hosted Ross A and of course Dave C and Sam S who are running for mayor....and as mentioned before, we have been unable to contact Kenny Kirby in Ward Six....We are waiting...and waiting.....and waiting... to hear if Frank Flyntz will pick a Thursday to be our guest. He will be the ninth of nine mayoral candidates, all of the rest of whom have been easy to contact and enthusiastic about attending....Don't forget tomorrow night, Tuesday, May 12th, Chris Fox For Mayor Fundraiser at The Greystone Grill, 7:00 P.M-9:00 P.M.
