So When Is A Mayor A Mayor?


Tell me, what has Barrie Tilghman actually done for the City of Salisbury? More importantly, maybe everyone should now start concentrating on what Barrie Tilghman will be leaving all of you with once she's gone?

Proclamations during Council Meetings doesn't cut it!








Have things gotten better at the Zoo?
Have things gotten better at the WWTP?
Is the City in a better financial situation then it was last year?
Is the City in greater debt than last year?
Is the City a safer place to live?
Are murders up or down in the City?
Are there Gangs in Salisbury?
Is the River in better shape?
Do the Citizens believe in Barrie Tilghman and or trust her better this year than last year?
Is it just me or is the Bank of Delmarva involved in almost every transaction the City pulls off?
Has the Mayor publicly asked Mike Dunn where he in fact got his Stock in the Bank of Delmarva?
Are there less homeless people in the City?
Are the more homeowners in the City?
Do you believe what she tells you?
Is the Mayor making more money than last year?

There are tons of quality questions to ask but I think some of these shed light as to just how well things are truly going with this Mayor and Council. Let's leave it for the Barrie Supporters to come back and show us jus what good she has done representing all of you as your Mayor?

Most importantly, what will she leave all of you when she's gone and what will she have for herself when she leaves? We all know she put her name on the deed just before WalMart purchased their property.

Joe,
Someone needs to fill her water Carafe with Sewercomico River Water. Let her drink what the wildlife has to live in and what we get to play on this weekend.
It looks like she's saying "they only spilled this much!".
What a piece of.......nevermind

Hey Joe,
Just for the heck of it I just tried again to post some relatively OK statements over on Hadleys site. Haven't been going there much anymore, and he still has that censorship thing going on. That really SUCKS.
Thanks again for the open forum!

Maxim, a bunch of us are bothered by the chief's location. My bet is lots of the officers are bothered by it, too.

Ya know, I don't expect any poly-tishun or oaf-fish-ul to have all the answers, and I don't blame 'em for everythin'.

But I do get my hackles up about lots that I've seen with this administration and council. Mr. A., ya did a good list there.

I don't expect perfection, but when Dunn said they don't strive for it, I thought, "Too dang true, and not even close."

Still, a dog is every hopeful, so I try not t'see it all as hopeless. Still a lot o' good folks in this town.

Some of 'em even end up here on the blogs. Go figger.

Thinkin' 'bout takin' some extra time this holiday weekend, so if'n I don't have much t'say, you'll know I didn't kick the bucket or nothin'.
