Annapolis Capital Punishment

Okay-that headline got your attention. Shades of Watergate....just across the creek from Watergate Apartments...Actually, what happened was that on Saturday morning, the Breakfast with Dems crowd found itself locked out of the club on State Street in Eastport and certain Democratic stalwarts were discussing--perhaps seriously, perhaps in jest, of possibly breaking in the club which was scheduled to host the breakfast. Well, the rain came and it poured and the 25 or 30 folks that gathered huddled under umbrellas, under the tiny porch and underneath their car's hatchbacks. Featured speaker Gil Renaut, in respect to those huddled under umbrellas, made his remarks mercifully brief. Same for Matt Silverman. When they had finished, Kenny Kirby, supposedly a candidate in Ward Six, popped out of a car that had been in the lot and he took his place up under the awning to speak...and speak..and speak, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the other candidates were brief and that everyone was getting soaked (Well, he had been in his car that whole time or else he just came late to an event where he was a featured speaker). ADC Chair Nick Berry had to politely suggest that the event end early due to the rain. I again tried to contact Mr. Kirby, but to no avail. Oh well.


Wednesday, June 24, 6:30 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m.) All declared Democratic candidates for mayor of Annapolis--Josh Cohen, Trudy McFall, Zina Pierre, Gilbert Renaut, Sam Shropshire and Wayne Taylor--will take part in a Democratic Mayoral Candidates Forum at the District 30 Democratic Club's monthly meeting. At Loews Annapolis Hotel, 126 West Street, Annapolis. To make things go smoothly, we ask that attendees submit a question in advance by writing to D30 Dem Club board member Carolyn Rodis at cjrodis@yahoo.com. For more info, contact club president Sarah Flynn at 410-268-2966 or sarahflynn@comcast.net.
