More Special Elections

Annapolis Alderman Wayne Taylor's (D - Ward 4) appointment to John Leopold's Cabinet opens up the need for another slot in the special election that will be held to fill the Ward 8 seat vacated by Josh Cohen. It also presents another intriguing possibility. Word on the street is that Mayor Ellen Moyer could potentially receive an appointment in the O'Malley administration, and end up putting that seat up for special election as well. If so, Annapolis residents should prepare themselves for a two-month campaign blitz now.
