What is a TIF? TIF stands for tax increment financing. A city, or county, floats a bond issue where the tax revenue from a specially created TIF district is pledged to pay off the bond issue. Salisbury City Council is considering just such an arrangement to complete Phase III of the Northeast Collector Road. Read more

Monday night’s Salisbury Council meeting was relatively uneventful and went by in near record time. The big event was a non-event. Council President Mike Dunn behaved himself. Sure he still doesn’t follow all of the rules, but there wasn’t one snide remark (at least the PAC-14 audio didn’t pick any up). Read more

The Goldwater’s Oracle has an interesting proposal for Maryland teachers (and their union). I don’t know how much the MSTA has been spending on commercials, but they should have called him first.

Barrie wants to blog. At least that’s what she claims in Saturday’s Pulitzer Prize worthy piece in the “Daily Timesâ€.

I don’t know about you, but I failed that mind reading class I took in school. Evidently, the Salisbury Zoo Commission members have managed to pass the class.
On the agenda for Monday’s Salisbury City Council meeting is Resolution No. 1372, a change to the by-laws of the Salsibury Zoo Commission. The purpose of the resolution is to amend section 4.2 (Relation to Citizen Groups) of the Zoo Commission’s by-laws by inserting the following text:
The Corporation may deny membership, or volunteer time, from an individual whose past, present, and future conduct does not support the goals, purposes, and operation of the Salisbury Zoological Park.
