Hebron Refuses To Expose Council Meeting Agenda For Tonight
I was tipped off earlier by someone telling me the Town of Hebron wanted this person to file a PIA Request in order to gain access to what will be discussed in this evenings meeting.
I then decided to call myself and obviously due to pressure from multiple calls they've changed their tune somewhat. However, this time they simply told me personally that they don't have the agenda information ready at this point. I said, can you tell me what's already been scheduled? NO!
I pushed a bit harder and said, there's got to be information on the table already, can't you simply share that? NO! The information won't be ready till the end of the day, 4:00. I said, don't you close at 4:00? YES! Well, this is convenient!
Look, I've dealt with these people before in the past and whenever "anyone" gets as defensive as theses people do, something is up! There's absolutely NO reason these people should be as rude as they are and if they think the pressure is on now, wait till the new development gets started!
Charles, Rick, Ron, it's time to look into cleaning house in Hebron as well as the rest of the County. If these people can't start being nice, send them on their way! The Citizens have the right to this information BEFORE the meeting scheduled and they're purposely making this impossible. Are there legal issues with not providing this information in advance?
Oh, by all means, call Mary directly at 410-742-5555 and ask for yourself what's on schedule for tonight. This should get VERY interesting! By the end of the day they'll be cursing out anyone and everyone, watch!

The Salisbury Zoo Cleaning Crew
The other night I was driving through the City when I noticed every single light on in the Government Building. I called Jennifer and said, would you know why every single light would be on in the building this late in the evening? She replied, the Cleaning Crew must be in there cleaning the offices.
My first thought was, why every light, is their Crew that large that they're in every single office? I then asked, how many buildings do the Cleaning Crew clean for the City? She replied, all of them. Anything to do with City Government they have professionals come in and clean.
I then said, wait a minute. Are you telling me that they even come into the Salisbury Zoo and clean the office there? She replied, not just the main office trailer, they do Carrie's building too, as well as the Public Bathrooms.
OK, Charles Jannace talks about cleaning house and cutting corners, which is the right thing to do because for far too long things have been way out of control and this is just one of them.
I have been in business for some 20+ years now and I have NEVER hired a cleaning crew. When I was at full staff everyone pitched in and forgive me for using this as an example as I'm confident he won't mind but even Charles Jannace knows how to clean his own office and not hire a cleaning crew.
The taxpayers are paying far too much money for luxuries that are simply ridiculous! Do "all" of you actually feel good about having Cleaning Crews coming in and wiping up after everyone goes home, because everyone is too lazy or this is just beneath them? I can see polishing the floors and maybe cleaning the bathrooms, but offices?
I'm VERY confident since this is a City & County Government Building, the County is taking a free ride as well and I personally think Charles Jannace should look into this and blast these people. It's just another area where money can easily be saved and it should be looked into.
