The $1.3 Million Endorsement

Salisbury’s slumlords simply LOVE Barrie Tilghman. Unfortunately, Barrie realized that she couldn’t be re-elected. So the slumlords and their dirty little guild, SAPOA, are placing all of their hopes behind Barrie’s chosen successors – Gary Comegy, Muir Boda, and Shanie Shields (aka the BARRIE COMEGYS ticket).
Why do Salisbury’s ruling class love Barrie and her heirs so much? Tilghman has basically refused to enforce city zoning and building codes (at least regarding her SAPOA pals). What’s a double-digit tax increase among friends when you can rape the city like the Vandals in Rome? SAPOA is quite confident that Comegys, Muir, Shields (along with Princess Louise Smith) will continue to deliver.
… This is especially true if your name is Rinnier. Besides all of the special treatment afforded SAPOA, the Rinniers were able to pocket a cool $1.3 million at taxpayer expense thanks to Barrie Comegys. Remember the Marley Manor lift station?
Perhaps that’s why the Rinniers have illegally spent money to benefit the campaigns of Comegys, Boda and Shields. Keep in mind, that you can only spend $250. I find it hard to believe that the Rinniers were able to print all of these letters and paid people to distribute them throughout the Rinnier rental empire for $250.
Maybe they expect another fat subsidy if their candidates prevail on Tuesday. We think the taxpayers of Salisbury’s have paid enough.
