Annapolis Capital Punishment

The 1400-member Anne Arundel Sierra Club has endorsed Josh Cohen for Annapolis Mayor, Greg Stiverson for Council in Ward 6 and Ian Pfeiffer for Council in Ward 7. This is one endorsement that is actually based on a serious vetting of the candidates--it's not just a beauty contest.

(CP NOTES: Yet another mayoral forum on a Monday night after the PTSA did the same thing--I gave up trying to organize a forum because it was nearly impossible to find a night that worked--once we knew who got the D's nod...and specifically avoided choosing a Monday night due to potential conflict with city and or county council meetings.....)
