The Ellen Show...No Not Ellen DeGeneres, But Boss Ellen O.

In case you did not know, we have our own television program, COATV or City of Annapolis TV. Yep. We the people pay for it and guess who is the executive producer? Why it's Ellen O. Moyer. This is why we need three or four or how many public information officers are there? It's not that the concept of a city-owned broadcasting outfit is so horrible, it's just that we keep spending ourselves
