Video: Charles St. businesses react to trolley proposal
February 14, 2008
Andy Rosen wrote for our print edition today about the “harsh response” in Annapolis to a bill that would ban special tax districts.
One affected project would be the Charles Street Trolley proposal, which relies (in part) on funding from a property tax surcharge on homeowners in a special tax district near the site.
Here’s what some Charles Street business owners and managers had to say about the trolley proposal and what it would cost.

Video: Baltimore cop suspended over altercation with teen
February 12, 2008
Sometimes you’re looking in vain for a blog post to kick off the day, and sometimes one just falls into your lap.
The latter was the case this morning, after this story came down the wire, about a veteran Baltimore cop who was suspended after a YouTube video of his encounter with a 14 year-old skateboarder at the Inner Harbor made the rounds.
In the video, it appears that the officer is ordering a group of teens to stop skateboarding (which is banned at the Inner Harbor). When the 14 year-old resists, the officer puts him in a headlock and berates him for being disrespectful.
At one point, the officer asks the teen: “Are you from the County or something?” He then proceeds with this zinger: “Obviously, your parents don’t put a foot in your butt quite enough, because you don’t understand the meaning of respect.”
WJZ-TV even got an interview with the teen.
Watch the video below and let us know if you think the cop was out of line or not.
