Salisbury - All’s Well in the Land of Low Taxes, Toys and Safety

If I didn’t know better I would swear that our own Daily Times had shifted from (supposedly) being a newspaper to becoming a humor mag. Unfortunately not.

This morning we learn that Salisbury Councilwoman Louise Smith WON’T support higher taxes. I haven’t heard anything so humorously absurd since a friend of mine stood before the Wicomico Republican Club and stated that, “we need more principled candidates like Louise Smith” on the very night last year when she voted to make way for a double digit tax increase while admitting that she had been too busy to read Mayor Barrie Tilghman’s proposed budget.

Councilman Gary Comegys won’t support more police and firefighters because “firefighters needed their toys”. The next time you meet a Salisbury VOLUNTEER firefighter, let them know that you really appreciated their service until Comegys told you that these folks are only in it for the toys.

Councilwoman Shanie Shields, Salisbury’s resident one woman brain trust, doesn’t want more police officers. “Crime is not a problem in Salisbury.” I can only assume that Shields believes that the recent run of murders within the city is simply God’s way of thinning the surplus population.

Just when you believe that the level of absurdity in Barrieland may have leveled off, Smith, Comegys or Shields open their mouths.
