Wicomico Neighborhood Congress Moves Forward

As noted in this morning’s “Tilghman Times” the Wicomico Neighborhood Congress appears to be moving forward, and well ahead of schedule. The early spate of of bad publicity aside, the vast majority of steering committee members have worked hard to accomplish their primary goal of designing and implementing a method for citizen groups from throughout Wicomico County to come together and work on solving shared problems and discussing shared concerns.

This was all accomplished despite the Tilghman Times’ complicity in promoting the race pimping skulduggery of Salisbury City Councilwoman Shanie “just call me Rev. Al” Shields. Needless to say Shanie accomplished her goal, not of promoting diversity on the steering committee, but to ensure the participation of her slumlord masters. I will always believe that if the slumlords were provided a seat on the steering committee to begin with we never would have heard a peep about an all white steering committee.

I look forward the first meeting of the Congress and hope that much is accomplished. I realize that some of my compatriots in the local blogosphere resent the idea of WNC. I can only say that grassroots participation in local concerns is never a bad thing, whether I agree with the group or not.
