Okay...so Dennis Callahan, head of Anne Arundel Rec & Parks and former mayor of Annapolis, is the man who brought you the Smith Farm debacle, and was the person who was dead-set to build ballfields in the wetlands area known as Franklin Point. It is most infortunate, but it appears that the only type of park he can build is one that is flat with white lines on it for sports.
But what is most disturbing is that he is apparently the heir apparent to Janet "The Queen of Sprawl" Owens. Janet and her husband (a local version of Karl Rove) have refined the art of political backstabbing and it has been noted that she would be a better Republican than a Democrat. This has led to rumors that she might be asked to be Ehrlich's new running mate.
If Callahan gets the top spot in Anne Arundel county we will be guaranteed to have 4 more years of sprawl, inappropriate development, and more business as usual.
