Ninth Ward: Despite her failings, we owe Moyer our thanks for her years of servicePublished 11/25/09
Whether one likes Ellen Moyer or not, she deserves many thanks for her long and dedicated career in public service. Yet many of us are thankful it is coming to an end. Whether you've been the beneficiary of her largesse (at taxpayer expense) or victim of her infamous vituperation, she has generally put our city ahead of her personal pursuits as often as she has confused the two. Public service is an honorable calling, and the sincere desire to help others and advance causes has long motivated Moyer.

Fair & Balanced - 2009-11-26 21:54:07
Moyer has done many great things for Annapolis. Her list, and your article highlight her successes. And, you would be correct to also highlight her failures. This would be Fair and Balanced.
This was an attempt at praising Moyer for her accomplishments. A time to end the rancor. Naah, one more time to throw in snide asides, more like Fox TVs view of Fair and Balanced.
Moyer has done us all a great service.
But, I cant wait for December 7. I hope that you will give Josh a pass -- a honeymoon for a few weeks or months.
