The Set-up for a Tax Increase
On Tuesday, Hadley ran an interesting post on the Salisbury Police Department. The Chief is loosing 12 officer and want to hire an additional 12. We’ve already heard Shanie Shields’ solution – raise taxes.

A Shell Game
The Christina School District has a $13 million deficit. Of course this is contrary to state law.

What If I Don’t Support The President’s Policies?
I got a letter in the mail today from the RNC asking for money so that they could help promote the President’s policies. What if you don’t want amnesty for illegal aliens? What if you believe in fiscal conservatism?
Pete DuPont provides a good explanation why I don’t support the current GOP fiscal policies.

Smooth Move
Just about any time that Salisbury Councilwoman Debbie Campbell wants to bring up something substantive she gets shut down. Motions die without a second or she is rudely interrupted.
At Monday’s Salisbury Council meeting Ms. Campbell felt that the city giveaway of the Ulman Theater property was too important to try the front door. [...]
The Spin Mistress
It’s no secret that I am no fan of the Barrie Tilghman administration. However, I have to give the Mayor credit for one thing – that woman can spin. While not as bright as the gang from the Clinton administration, Barrie makes up for it with a singular lack of conscience and a [...]
Racial Quotas In Wilmington
PolitaKid has an interesting story about a racial discrimination suit filed against the Wilmington Police Department. Two aspects about this story really intrigued me. You don’t usually see a white woman filing a racial discrmination suit. You also don’t usually see a city where a promotion in the police department has to [...]
Ethics - Baltimore Sun - Democrats, A Contradiction In Terms
The Baltimore Sun has chutzpah, if nothing else. Under the guise of a news piece they have published an editorial rant against former Talbot Delegate and current PSC chairman Ken Schisler. The Sun would rather Schisler not have filed his lawsuit to halt the Dem’s mad power grab over the PSC. In [...]
Fair Treatment
Delaware Legislators are slightly miffed. Delmarva Power parent PEPCO has announced that they will not charge Maryland residents interest if they opt for a phase in of higher rates. Delaware customers will be charged interest. I guess Bob Ehrlich is just a better negotiator than Ruth Ann Minner.

O’Malley’s Energy Plan - Rolling Blackouts
Baltimore Mayor Martin O’Malley has an energy plan. He wants a new Public Service Commission that will determine “fair rates”. They tried this in California. It didn’t work.
Nobody wants their utility rates to go up. The problem is that when the Maryland utilities agreed to freeze rates, oil was at around [...]
Bony Fish
Chris Cillizza reports on the 58th Annual Shad Planking. If you’ve never been there it’s hard to explain, other than to say it’s a tradition.

Hilary’s Big Economic Intro
Larry Kudlow reports on Hilary’s Chicago Economic Club Speech. She’s boring and plans to spend like a … Republican.

Fiscal Policy, a la Shanie
At Wednesday’s sparsely attended Salisbury City Council budget meeting the taxpayers of Salisbury were treated to the fiscal genius that is Shanie Shields. Ms.. Shields believes that the police officers of Salisbury are underpaid. In all honesty I’m not competent to debate that matter with her or anyone else.
Ms. Shields has a solution [...]
Immigration, Duvall Style
Don’t miss DuvaFiles’ immigration piece this morning. I think Mr. Duvall hit all the key benefits that our government chooses to shower upon illegals in the U.S. and it’s funny to boot!

PizzaGate II
Last month we ran a post about a Cape Henlopen School District ballot to raise taxes for the schools. To encourage turnout, a contest was held with the winners receiving a pizza party for getting the most adults to the polls. Now, the school district is being sued. God bless America.
