Ed Nelson Call It Quits At The Salisbury Zoo!

The Salisbury Zoo continues to deal with major troubles as yet another Zoo Commission Member bites the dust.

There are at least three seats available at this very moment and Barrie Tilghman isn't doing anything to fill those seats. Many of their meetings are more than likely illegal as they don't have a quorum to make any decisions.

Mr. Paul Kratzer passed away not long ago and Gary Comegys may be on the Zoo Commission but rarely ever makes the catered lunch meeting, so he might as well be considered passed away too.

The "ONLY" responsible person who has even asked to become a Zoo Commission Member is Mr. John Harris, who is now running for City Council. The Mayor flat out took his money for the Otters at the Zoo, NEVER offered a proclamation to recognize his good faith and then Jim Rapp went all over television acting as if it was the Salisbury Zoo that had made the donation for the Otters and not Mr. Harris.

Now Mr. Harris is running for a seat and seems to have forgotten that he had applied for the Zoo Commission and the Mayor refused to even recognize him whatsoever. No returned phone calls, No letter, nothing! My recommendation to Mr. Jim Rapp, I'd start looking for a new job because things are about to change in the City of Salisbury and the Mayor can't protect you any more.

In closing, Mr. Nelson, THANK YOU! Your years of service will NOT go unrecognized and it was a pleasure meeting you and getting to know you briefly. He's a very nice man and I'm sure he'll be missed.

Oh, as for why he is leaving. He claims that he cannot dedicate enough quality time for the job. My guess, he's seen enough of the bullshit and finally went out there and counted the animals for once one day and said, enough is enough. Then again, it is winter time. Perhaps Rapp tried to defrost his windshield?
