Annapolis is my hometown, and has been my families hometown since before 1860. I lived there during part of the Moyer administration and thought it was quite good. "nuh said."

"The Moyer-Cohen Association" - 2009-07-08 18:28:01

"also was behind the legislation to increase the next mayor's salary by $50,000"

Cohen's biggest problem is that he continues to work his alliance with Moyer, in this case to benefit himself. We aren't talking about the past here, folks. This is a recent example of the quid quo pro between the two.

He could also do well (or better) by publicly distancing himself and really get into some conversation about how the failures (and he needs to say that) of the prior administration will not carry over--and here is how I promise to do that!

Substance Over Fluff Please! - 2009-07-07 12:51:49

Other than repeating over and over the assertion that Josh is like her, what substance does this article really provide?

Annapolis is a small town, and people are naturally connected as colleagues, especially within any working group, such as a political party. All this story proves is that Gilbert is feeling left out of the party. And rightly so, he was a mess at the debate! It would be unwise for dems to back him.

So far, Josh has shown himself to be smart and passionate about the issues and willing to clearly state his stand on issues openly. He certainly doesn't mince words, or apologize for his views, whether you agree with a particular viewpoint he holds or not. I like that clarity, and prob others do too. This was clear in the debates, and I think his abilities threatened the egos of some of the other candidates, none of whom seemed fully ready or prepared for the debate. Perhaps they didn't take it seriously, and were surprised that he did.

Josh showed he cared about the issues and our (the voting public's) need for info by being prepared to talk substantively about the issues. That was great. Let's follow suit, The Capital, and talk about substance, not fluff!

Moyer & Cohen - 2009-07-06 13:03:25

Have they been stumping together in West Virginia? Perhaps Barboursville is our newest sister city. How much travel time and money did it cost to sew up the Mountaineer vote? Maybe the next fan letter will come from Wexford. Scott is right. Those two look better the farther you go from Annapolis.

Linda K - 2009-07-06 12:58:04

Maybe the Moyer administration seems quite good from your viewpoint in WV, but for those of us who actually live here and have to put up with it, it's sorely lacking. Cohen seems like a decent person who cares about the city, but he needs to prove that he would run it differently than Moyer did. Criticizing Moyer will be difficult for him, since she was his mentor and he's basically inherited the remnants of her political machine, but at some point he's going to have to speak frankly about her (many) incompetencies.

Look at the Record - 2009-07-06 09:33:45

"Ellen is not on the ballot," Cohen said. "My record of service speaks for itself." It sure does Josh, can't complete a job, has no substantive ideas, wants more money and bigger titles. Electing Josh as Mayor would accelerate the downward spiral that Ellen has begun. Annapolis deserves a person who wants to improve the city, not someone who just wants to be called Mayor until he can be called something else....

90210, MD - 2009-07-05 21:24:21

Oh Judd, you sound a little like a small town attorney giving an over-rehearsed opening argument. Very little substance and overly broad and melodramatic. That might work in certain parts of 21401, but it no longer works in the world at large. That is why the candidate that is not focused on cosmetic issues like the one's you mention, the candidate not focused on grand schemes that falsely assume Annapolis's mayor is a global player, THAT is the mayor that will bring out the vote and flush the Moyer machinery from Annapolis politics This is not the time for business as usual. This is not the time for a candidate who appeals to the same crowd that got us into the mess we are in now. The City does not need a bright and shiny Zamboni...This IS the time for those without the disposable income to afford ice skating, those inconvenienced by the Boat show, those looking for a voice in local government to get active and VOTE, not for Cohen , but for the candidate that cares for the things ALL voters care about. Cohen does not have broad appeal, and when the dormant vote is activated Cohen will quickly fall by the wayside.

Cohen for Mayor - 2009-07-05 19:46:39

There are two things about the article I agree with: 1. Josh has "emerged as the top contender for mayor" and 2. Josh had a "standout performance" at last month's mayoral debate.

The rest of the article is simply guilt-by-association that has nothing to do with who would be best for the city. Anyone who has met Josh understands that he would bring a dramatically different style of leadership than our current mayor.

He also has the strongest record to run on: from helping revive Quiet Waters Ice Rink to preserving critical funding for local schools to leading the way on environmental protection.

This election should be about the issues and I hope future articles about the mayoral race stay focused on what really matters.

Josh: Much ado about nothing - 2009-07-05 19:14:08

Josh is just a kid trying to impress his father. I knew Josh quite a few years back and politics was an after thought. Nothing wrong with Josh, but he has very little experience in the real world ( the private sector). Don't misunderstand me, Josh would not be the worst this city could do, but we can do much, much better.
The other candidates should not waste time running against Josh, they need to be strong enough to get the other candidates to run against them by developing an effective, common sense platform and getting more people out to VOTE.

Cohen in the Wind - 2009-07-05 10:18:15

First Cohen dumped Eastport when he left City Council for a more prestigious office. Then he moved to get away from the crime in the projects. Eastport knows what Josh Cohen is all about -- upward mobility on the public payroll. The rest of Annapolis needs to wise up. He's slick, he's glib, and he has the Moyer machine backing him. If Eastport had supported Doug Lamborne like I did, we wouldn't be looking at the Moyer marathon now. Cohen is Moyer's legacy. Just like the Market House

Cohen = Moyer II - 2009-07-05 08:22:00

Anyone who votes for Cohen is asking for a replay of the Moyer years. Contracts and cronies for all, and a big fat salary to go. Shame on those who can't connect the dots. Cohen should be ashamed he won't fulfill his commitment to the office he was elected to, just like he abandoned City Council when something better opened up. Like Moyer, he sees public office as a good living and way to be a political player. Remember your ABCs Anybody But Cohen
