Moyer Trashes Fellow Democrat
Annapolis Mayor Throws Candidate Under The Bus As this blog has said repeatedly, the politics are going to get nasty leading up to the Mayoral election in Annapolis.

Trudy McFall Responds
McFall Responds To Negative Site The following statement was just released from the McFall campaign: I have run a campaign promising real reform at City Hall and an end to the status quo.

More Dirty Politics
The Reincarnation Of The Swiftboat Veterans As we mentioned several weeks ago, the politics in Annapolis were about to heat up.

McFall Expresses Concern Over City’s 2010 Budget
Promises, when Mayor, she will make sure the City will “live within its means” As a candidate for Mayor, I have a great concern about the Fiscal Year 2010 budget adopted Monday night by the City Council.

Controlling Growth and Development in Annapolis
We need to plan for our City with controlled, modest growth. This growth needs to be of a density, scale and design that preserve the special charm and character that is Annapolis. With only two percent of developable land left in the City, virtually all of our future development will be infill and redevelopment. This [...]
Annapolis Facebook Race
