John, John, John
Up until today my opinion of Salisbury City Administrator John Pick has been that he is an honest, hardworking public servant trying to do a difficult job under even more difficult circumstances. Come on, would you want to work for Barrie Tilghman?
Unfortunately John crossed the line today from hard working bureaucrat to political water bearer [...]

On July 7, 2006 the city of Salisbury sent a letter to Salisbury Mall Associates, LLC (one of many names the developers of the “Village” seem to go by these days) informing them that they had until January 5, 2007 to demolish and clear the site of the old Salisbury Mall:

Impact Fee Confusion
In Saturday morning’s Grapevine section of the “Tilghman Times” editorial page one reader wrote:

implemented the impact fees to go to our schools, we did [...]
Tim Spies For Council
Two days ago, Tim Spies filed as a candidate for Salisbury City Council. This morning the “Tilghman Times” ran the story on the front page of the Delmarva section. Read the article. If you don’t already know Tim you will get a small glimpse into a man who can really be a [...]
Jeers for the “Tilghman Times”
This morning I read with amusement the “Jeers” section of the “Tilghman Times” editorial page.
They attacked some of our local bloggers, possibly including me, with this little ditty:
Jeers to mean-spirited bloggers who spread
half-truths and innuendo about local institutions, public officials and
private citizens. Here’s a novel thought: Check out the facts before
you spew your vitriol. Better [...]

Will Transportation Decide 2007?
It seems that the leaders of the Virginia GOP are worried about the upcoming legislative races. Rightfully so. While transportation funding will be a huge issue, I believe that there are a few other problems bubbling beneath the surface that could cause problems this year as well.

Save the GOP
Shaun Kenney posts a quote from Newt Gingrich’s 1978 speech to the College Republicans, but then questions whether or not Newt is part of today’s problem. Sorry Shaun, the answer is clearly no.
Newt Gingrich was, and is, part of the solution. Sure, Newt had a few personal problems but he never allowed the [...]

Wayne Dorsey, Jr. should be in New York playing in a tournament with his teammates from Towson Catholic High School. Instead he has been ruled ineligible, not because of grades, but because of a quirk of the Baltimore City school system.
