Ensuring connectivity to Frederick's Golden Mile, helping the city's population experiencing homelessness and balancing the needs of downtown residents and visitors are just a few of the issues that the next Board of Aldermen will have to deal with.
These topics and several others were among those tackled by seven Democratic candidates in the city's primary election during a virtual candidates' forum this week.

“ Shackelford warned about too much focus on downtown without talking about other parts of the city.” Talking is a start.
“Republican candidates Robert A. Fischer and Michelle Shay did not participate in the forum…” should have.
It's absurd that all the candidates don't participate. Really, I'd like to see the Alderman and the Mayor elected in non-partisan elections.
Finally! Some coverage for the primary election! How about some coverage for the mayoral candidates!
And where are we with that stupid hotel?
