Mr. Mephistopheles said...: Correction: he's running in the Democratic primary for sheriff. And given that most people have no idea who in the hell our current sheriff is, he could easily win if enough idiots think he's related to Willie Don Schaefer.; Sat Aug 21, 09:05:00 AM EDT
Baltimore Slumlord Watch said...: According to the signs I've seen, our current Sheriff is a man named John W. Anderson. The office of Sheriff is kind of mundane -- they serve subpoenas, perform evictions, and guard the courthouses. So I can't say he's done a bad job, considering I spend a good amount of time in the courthouse downtown, researching slumlords. I've never felt unsafe in the courthouse.; Sat Aug 21, 11:34:00 AM EDT
