Shannon….and I suppose you have personal knowledge of Ms Ehrlich's frugality and knowledge of the issues at hand? She strikes me as someone who really is out of touch with the 'common man'. Personally I have nothing against her….I just do not think she is the best pick for this job. She is the only candidate for the position who showed up with a 'handler' while saying she would not use the police…   more ›

The Anne Arundel County Attorney received an opinion that the county's charter disqualifies council members from being appointed county executive.

Annapolis Love Story: Chris and Mary Trumbauer

On Valentine's Day, we celebrate a local couple as they share the story of how they met and what brought them—and keeps them—together.

While you might know him as an Anne Arundel County councilman or as a riverkeeper and he is both of those, for Valentine's Day, we'd like to introduce you to Chris Trumbauer—the husband and father. And since most great love stories require more than one person, there's also Mary, Chris' wife, but there's more.  We need a great backdrop for this love story and we find it in the environment—yes, it's been at the forefront of Chris and Mary's relationship since day one. Their shared commitment to the environment is, in fact, what brought this couple together.  "We were stream sampling," explained Chris. "We met in '99 or 2000." He then took off his wedding band and examined it. "We got married in 2003 and we met in 2000," Chris said, …
