| Jails before Schools (Judging from the drop out rate and the number of students not passing simple standardized testing perhaps the jails should come first. -- Don Williams - Davidsonville, MD) |
| Get real (Wonderful people don't say "Give me the money or I'll kill you". Perhaps if the legal justice system hadn't been so liberal in his prior sentences he would have been enabled to make better choices. -- Dave D. - Pasadena, MD) |
| Market House (Tear down the Market House and put in section 8 housing or maybe even a putt putt golf course. How can you sign a lease for 20 yrs with a company you really don't like? Just when you think Moyer can't screw up Annapolis anymore she tops herself again and again! Moyer must GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- HH H - annapolis, MD) |
| Congratulations (Congrats, Quentin! It sounds like a well deserved honor! -- Steve Holcomb - Gambrills, MD) |
| Answer (The 'Cat' thieves like something they can easily crawl under as in SUVs or 4x4 type vehicles. -- Paul F. - Shady Side, MD) |
| 15 Banks? (It appears this guy has robbed 15 banks and spent less than 15 years in prison. That's less than a year per robbery. Sad state of affairs in our so called justice system. -- Paul Flanagan - Shady Side, MD) |
| Where is there fat to cut (off her mouth she just want the head lines in the paper again -- ALFRED PARKINSON 111 - GREENSBORO, MD) |
| Bus Driver (At 1:05 on 5/14 on Davidsonville Rd. in Davidsonville where the speed limit drops to 35 mph, I witnessed a blonde female bus driver doing well over the posted speed, driving with one hand and talking on her cell phone. I don't know what she was paying attention to, perhaps the phone call, but it wasn't the speed limit. -- Don Williams - Davidsonville, MD) |
| catalytic converter? (I park at the Annapolis Park and Ride on Riva Road. I had no idea this was an issue. It would be nice to know what type of cars, aside from the sting car, are popular targets. Is my car safe at the park and ride? -- m. jones - annapolis, MD) |
| Where is the fat (2001 city budget $48,273,460, 2009 city budget $81,360,720 and the city is still increasing spending. Growth in personnel budget from 2001 to 2009 proposed is 177%, total budget growth is 170%. There are many places to cut fat out of this budget, the Mayor and city council just need to do it. -- cindy cole - ANNAPOLIS, MD) |
| Where is there fat to cut (I mean looking at the budget, I can see why it is strained. The Mayor has a measly $1.1M to run her office, including round trip cruise to our sister cities, and spending half the summer to tour Europe. Economic affairs gets $330k, if I knew what that was I could see spending that. The city is guessing we are going to need $88k to remove the one snow fall next year. We are spending $2.3M on Neighborhoods and Environment, must be outside Eastport. I can see the dilemma in this budget. -- Peter Dennis - Annapolis, MD) |
| City employeespolice&fire (1. Each retired member’s pension shall be increased by the same percentage as any increase in the pay scale for members of the same rank and years of service who are on active duty. If no increase in the pay scale for members of the same rank and years of service who are on active duty is provided in the annual budget, then the member’s pension shall be increased, effective July 1st of that year, by such cost of living adjustment -- ALFRED PARKINSON 111 - GREENSBORO, MD) |
| police&fire retired (Consequently, officers will see a 5.3 percent across-the-board salary raise.and the retired will get uck again
-- ALFRED PARKINSON 111 - GREENSBORO, MD) |
| salaries (does this mean That Ms. Moyer's is going to pay the retired police& firefighter what the city owns them? or is this a scam to ??????? -- ALFRED PARKINSON 111 - GREENSBORO, MD) |
| Johnson switch to Obama (Talk about standing around with your finger in the air!! -- Brian S. - pasadena, MD) |
| market house (As i still see Annapolis has not changed . Its sad to see this becouse it can be a nice place to be . I left Annapolis 28 years ago . I have been back 3 time in the past 10 years , and seen the city go down hill .Iwould love to see the old market house back , like it was in the late 70`s.

| st. marys girls (Congrats to the Spalding boys. I do not see mention of the St. Marys girls who also particiapated in this meet. Many of their athletes will be representing their school with impressive qualifying times. Megan Austin, Colleen Randolph and Victoria Goodenough have top times in the county not just the IAAM-congrats to them as well. This is a first year track program-nice job ladies. -- Margaret Mullen - annapolis, MD) |
| Alternate Service Policy (It is simply a question of loyalty and commitment. Whereas USNA daily demonstrates, "Ship, Shipmate, Self"; USMA appears to support, "To thine ownself be true." -- Patricia Fox - Sunnyvale, CA) |
| stupidity as usual (If there is money for this, then I either want a tax rebate or I want the City to start buying up Clay street property as it comes up for sale and bulldozing it until the only thing left is a beautiful park... what an excellent idea for that hole. -- Bruce K. - Annapolis, MD) |
| Painful Ordeal (Maybe the author of this column is right... Maybe the only way residents will get what they want is to sell this thing and attach a list of requirements for its use. I for one would like a butcher, a seafood market, a bakery, a dairy shop, a produce stand, and a florist. If there is room after those spots are covered, then they can sell a little prepared food too but lets figure out someway to turn it back into a real MARKET and kill the whole food court concept. -- Bruce Kibbey - Annapolis, MD) |
| Gas price (tell bush he the on on vacation -- ALFRED PARKINSON 111 - GREENSBORO, MD) |
| Market House for sale (Maybe we should sell Market House and buy a golf course!!! -- Brian S. - pasadena, MD) |
| Slots & Business (I'm glad the AA County Chamber of Commerce is against slots.
In 1995 the Maryland Horse Coalition produced a 47-page report pleading with our legislators to keep slots OUT of Maryland.
THEY said that slots would cannibalize existing businesses.
THEY said that the gambling industry's revenue and job figures were bogus.
THEY talked about increased crime and social costs.
THEY said that governments should not promote gambling nor introduce more addictive forms such as electronic gambling machines.
Then they realized THEY could profit from them. It seemed that historic Maryland horseracing didn't want to be cannibalized but don't mind being the cannibal. -- Kim Roman - Glen Burnie, MD) |
| Annapolis police (I always felt bad for that heavy officer. I think he was self-conscious about his weight. I've also been treated very graciously by the parking enforcement people, which was unexpected.
But I wish they all could be like them. I ran into one police officer, Renee Crawley, who was the type that makes citizens suspicious of all police officers. I was standing on Main Street with my son waiting to meet some friends, and she demands to see my license for loitering! I tried telling her I was just meeting some friends, and she tells me to shut the f*** up. I handed her my license, and of course I was wide-eyed and incredulous, and she tells me, "Stop giving me that f*****g look, I'll arrest your god**** a** if you say anything." She hands me back my license and says, "You're free to go." Seriously, I'm a middle aged woman holding my two year old son! What sort of resistance am I going to put up? Besides, don't I have a right to ask why I'm being accosted?
Don't make fun of the heavy police officer. At least to my knowledge he wasn't out like Officer Crawley and abusing his privledges to enforce the law. -- M D - Arnold, MD) |
