The New County Council Have Spoken!

Big Breaking News!!!!!!!!

The Wicomico County Councel have turned down the extension of the Old Mall TIF. There will be no extension for three years and or even 6 months, as begged for by City Council Member Mike Dunn!

Mike got up there and explained to all the County Councilmen how if they didn't vote yes to the extension "you'll be killing the project." Stevie Prettyman immediately stepped forward and said, voting against this TIF would not kill the project, as Mr. Dunn stated. Mike then took it back and said something of the sort that it would delay things quite a bit.

So once again Mike Dunn lied, he was caught and then tried to soften his lie. Nonetheless, he was trying to take advantage of a new Council, it failed and the final decision may have been caused by Mike Dunn's lie!

During Terry Cohen's Public Comment, Mike Dunn started yelling out, "That's Not True, That's Not True." I turned around and told him to shut up, twice. Mike was in the audience, just as I was, listening to Terry and I have to tell you Folks, between Mike Dunn, Gary Comegys and Lynn Cathcarts husband, these three wouldn't stop talking the entire time! Mike would have gaveled them down in a heartbeat but instead he was extremely rude and completely out of line.

Listen to the rebroadcast and you'll hear them time and time again very clearly. Once we have that opportunity to get a copy of it we'll put a link up and let you hear the audio of it.

OK, so here's the main key here. The new County Council have clearly proven they are NOT going to be bullied around by the City Council. The County Council is NOT going to be responsible for paying $6,000,000.00 for a small parking lot! Even Mr. Macky's got up there and explained how they had nowhere near enough parking spaces for the Civic Center. Well guess what Idiot, you should have thought about that YEARS ago when you built the damn thing!

IMO, I see a brand new City Council coming soon where Mike Dunn, Gary Comegys and Lynn Cathcart will be a part of the past. People are becoming wise of their lies and games and it's a shame the County Council wasn't better prepared when it came to the Sassafras deal because they may have elected to keep the property and not annex it into the City.

Council Woman Debbie Campbell clearly stated she was there as a taxpayer and not as a City Council Person and spoke her mind rejecting the extension as well. She explained how she turned it down on the City Council and hoped they'd do the same. It should be noted that Mike Dunn clearly stated he was the City Council President and mentioned nothing of being a taxpayer and or there on that capacity. His intentions were to sway their votes his way as he was President of the Council. He went on to suggest that it took him some 6 months to understand the complexity of a TIF and with all due respect, there's no way they could understand it in just a few days. Dee, Dee, Deeee! In other words, I know what I'm talking about and you people are simply clueless, so vote my way. What an Idiot!

Blogger is not allowing me to put up pictures at the moment but as soon as I can get them up for you I will. I have photos of the exact moment they said no and the look on the developrs faces as well as Dunn & Comegys.
