Though he remains popular in Ward 8, which he represented for five years as an alderman, he knows that even there his bid for mayor of Annapolis is no sure thing.
"A lot of people know me, like me, but they're like, 'I don't know, Josh,' " he said as he walked around Eastport knocking on voters' doors Saturday morning.

Josh was on the county council, not the city during that decision. County councilmen were not involved in this matter. Whereas Alderman Cordle voted for the tax.. with no public comment solicited. I think Cordle wants the tax cap because he needs some assistance reigning in his own spending because he doesn't have the self control to do it himself, as evidenced by these sorts of decisions. Similar to how Fox and Cordle answer every tough question that they don't know how to answer with "um, ah, I'll hire a manager to know how to make that decision." Whereas Josh launches into "I'd be happy to discuss my lengthy 20 point plan regarding that issue." Cohen is "nice guy" AND he also has the expertise & understanding of issues. How could someone vote for the others? They've got their strengths, but it's not comparable.
