Annapolis City Council considers stripping mayor's powers (Dem Council upset GOP won election)
Baltimore Sun ^ | 11/10 | Colin Campbell

Annapolis Alderman Ross Arnett insists the City Council's decision to take another look at making the mayor's job a more ceremonial role has nothing to do with party politics.

But if the Democrat-majority council acts to remove the mayor's power, the timing will coincide with the election of Annapolis' first Republican mayor in nearly two decades, Mike Pantelides, who defeated the incumbent Democrat, Mayor Josh Cohen, last week.

So ex post facto?

Will you restore the mayor’s powers once you get the guy you want?

Does your city charter allow this?

Amen Brother.

It is a beautiful State with the most corrupt politicians anywhere else in the country.

Democrats have Maryland by the balls.

In a council-manager city government, an appointed manager would run the city and report to the council, not the mayor. Arnett, a Democrat who represents Ward 8, said it would ensure someone qualified instead of an elected official is at the helm.

So it's not the new Republican mayor that's prompting this, but they have been watching the fiasco in the White House.

Is not the city council also elected? I guess Arnett is saying he's also not qualified to make any decisions with regard to running the city.
