Who Said Dot Truitt Was Crazy?
For years, Salisbury resident Dot Truitt has been a lonely and indefatigable voice for wise development and appropriate use of our resources, such as water. While I don’t recall her name being mentioned at Monday’s Salisbury City Council meeting, she was certainly vindicated. Unfortunately for the citizens of Salisbury, that vindication will be [...]
The Folk Hero Slumlord Goes After Salisbury Again
Salisbury slumlord, come folk hero, Stu Leer is taking on the administration of Mayor Barrie Tilghman again. After the city wasted tens of thousands of tax dollars fighting Leer, he now wants to be compensated for his legal expenses.
Good for Leer! Loser pays is a great concept that would stop frivolous court actions. [...]
Louise Smith - Can We Be a Bigger Hypocrite?
We all know that Salisbury Councilwoman Louise Smith is a liar. Literally from the moment she was elected to her seat we have seen example after example of Smith telling members of the public one thing and doing another. From her promises of transparent government, to her pledge to make the city complete [...]
Salisbury Council Feels Your Pain When It Comes To Crime
As a resident of Salisbury’s Johnson Lake neighborhood (who was victim of an attack in her home) discovered Monday night, the majority of the Salisbury City Council “feels her pain” when it comes to crime. She just shouldn’t expect much to be done about it.
The woman who appeared before the Salisbury Council claims that [...]
Terry Cohen - Take Care of What You Have
This morning’s Bill Reddish show on WICO featured Salisbury Councilwoman Terry Cohen. Cohen tied together several points about tonight’s Salisbury council meeting agenda that should make Salisbury taxpayers take pause.
In discussion of Salisbury Mayor Barrie Tilghman’s request for $6,000 to study the current condition of the old standpipe on Lemmon Hill Lane, Cohen noted [...]
Blue Dog Frank
In another lame, but amusing, attempt at pandering to First District voters, Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil has now pledged to join the “Blue Dog Coalition” if elected to Congress. Yes Frank, we all know that you CLAIM to be a moderate. Yes Frank, we all know that you CLAIM to love [...]
O’Malley Dumps Mike Miller’s Kid
In the schizophrenic world of politics - Martin O’Malley style - I guess that there was some purpose in not nominating Maryland Senate President Mike Miller’s son for a judgeship. I just don’t see it.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m as opposed to blatant nepotism as the next guy. I just can’t figure [...]
In All Fairness to the WCLCB …
Wednesday I had an interesting conversation with someone affiliated with the Wicomico County dispensary. This individual confirmed that the dispensaries on the north and east sides of Salisbury were closed so that employees could attend Tuesday’s Wicomico County Council meeting. However, this individual was emphatic that employees were not paid for their time [...]
Andy Harris Has An Energy Plan …
… so does the House conservative leadership.
What’s Frank Kratovil’s plan? More regulation? Obama’s profit expropriation? Wind-powered cars? How about perpetual motion machines?
or …
Kratovil could just flip and tell First District residents that he’s now going to support drilling. We all know that he’ll say anything for a vote. Hell, [...]
When Should the Dispensary Referendum Be? …
… and What Do We Do in the Meantime?
The Daily Times reports that Wicomico County Council will vote at their August 19th meeting whether or not to ask the legislature to allow a referendum in 2009 to abolish the county’s antiquated and corrupt dispensary system. I sincerely hope that changes are made to this [...]
WCLCB - Who’s Minding the Store?
It looks like every dispensary employee was attending the Wicomico County Council meeting yesterday. If this is so, who’s minding the store?
I had to go out of town Tuesday morning, so I can’t confirm that the dispensaries were closed. Let’s assume for a moment that the stores were open with a skeleton staff. [...]
Salisbury’s Own Nannny State and “Barack Obama Lite”
Did you know that Salisbury taxpayers have their own “community organizer” on the payroll? As the Daily Times promotes National Night Out in Salisbury, certain salient details are left out of the perfunctory puff piece.
When appearing before the Wicomico County Council a couple of months ago, Ms. Michelle Parks was described by Barrie Tilghman [...]
Vota por Obama! Vota por O’Malley!
My friend and Red Maryland colleague Chet Dembeck provides us with some excellent insight into the “quiet invasion” of illegal immigration. Given all of the problems associated with this topic, we cannot overlook the probability of illegals impacting our state and federal elections.
Don’t be shocked to see signs that say:
VOTA POR EL CHRISTO OBAMA! [...]
Is Martin O’Malley on Drugs?
WaPo blogger John Wagner sure must be. To use O’Malley as the subject and “Fiscal Responsibility” as part of the predicate in almost any sentence indicates a severe break with reality. Perhaps acid is making a comeback on the Western Shore.
Wagner writes about a speech O’Malley recently gave at the Center for American [...]
Alessi Authors More Fiction About the WCLCB
Wicomico Dispensary board member Ron Alessi was granted another piece in Monday’s Daily Times. Alessi’s latest tale, it would be a disservice to the public to call it an op-ed, was not available on the paper’s online edition.
Alessi claims that:
Wicomico County’s most recent experiment in government “transparency” - the handing over of checking information [...]
