I too am a supporter of John Leopold, I find his policies to be in favor of the citizens of AA County - which is after all his job and why we voted him into office. I am completely satisfied with his performance so far. Although I would prefer it if the other council members would support him more. He has always responded to me quickly and positively. In fact after my last letter to him I could not believe it when the phone rang early the next day (No 'snail mail' here! Even the Post Office was fast.) and it was John calling me personally, I've never had service like that from any other First Executive. (Comment aside here - I have written to George Bush on four separate occasions and not even got an ackknowledgement of my letters. I also wrote to George Brown - the Prime Minister of Great Britain and received a reply a few days later!) Anyway, "Way to go John" I say, Good Job.

Pardon me while I barf. The selective outrage by republicans when it comes to defending Leopold is nauseating. If he were a democrat, you all would be organizing marches on Annapolis. He raises taxes/fees. He supports nanny state legislation. His permit office epitomizes big government. He endorses Al Gore's extremist environmental agenda. Still, you all love him. I guess politics does indeed make for strange bed fellows.
