Mayor Barrie Tilghman Denies Sheriff Lewis A City Parking Pass


Mayor Barrie Tilghman told the County she will not give Sheriff Mike Lewis a Parking Pass in the City of Salisbury.

On many occasions, Sheriff Lewis comes into the City in an unmarked Dodge SUV to take care of business. One day, County Council President John Cannon noticed Sheriff Lewis putting quarters into a Meter and said, don't you have a Parking Pass? Sheriff Lewis replied, no.

That being said, Council President Cannon went through the proper channels to ask for a Pass for Sheriff Lewis and the Mayor denied the request. Now let's see, Brew River is in the County, isn't it? So is Market Street Inn, right?

I'm not at all suggesting that Sheriff Lewis would ever be on the lookout for Mayor Barrie Tilghman but if it were me, let's not even go there. County Council Members get these Parking Passes as well as the City Council. I guess now that Barrie has joined the Hillary Clinton Team, she thinks she's above the law and can't be touched? How quickly she forgot what happened to her Daughter.

This could be Political Suicide for Barry Tilghman, that's for sure. In the very least, there's a sky blue Volvo that I'm confident all County Deputies will now have tattooed in their brains while driving down the road, day or night.

The County owns the property the GOB sits on so I am wondering why County personnel have to go through the witch to get a parking pass. Can someone educate the public on this one?

But I thought that the City just got a half interest in the property for $1.

If that is the case then the One Ton Gorilla and the 7 dwarves need to be thrown out of office. Why give something away to BPT and the city when they are constantly trying to take over the county. We are some stupid people when we continue to elect ignorant asses like them.

The City put up $1.00 but no contracts have been signed or agreed upon as of yet.

Doesnt Mr.Pollitt have some sway in the matter?Maybe he can lean on the city a little and obtain the permit.The Mayors pals can park anywhere on the plaza,blocking traffic-but the Sheriff cannot get a pass?Bullshit!Someone with more clout than her needs to clue her in on how local governments work TOGETHER!

Louweasel can get a handicap parking permit but Mike Lewis can't get a parking pass? When he comes in to town it is for business NOT bullshit. Just in case no one has noticed Mike Lewis doesn't stand around with his hands in his pockets wasting time, he is always on the move getting things done.

Next time that Volvo is parked anywhere it should be towed, just because it is there.

How Dare You! I can't believe you people would even think to say a thing like that! Imagine the gall of you people!

Don't you think your asking a lot of a bra.....to hold those things back?!? Those things could punch a hole clean through a kevlar vest and you expect a bra to keep them in. Those babies are .50 caliber - bare minimum. She should be required to register them with the ATF. They could go off and poke out an eye from 15 paces. And Lord have mercy on us all if it's cold out. If I was a jeweler, I might try to harness the energy stored inside of them and try to split diamonds. If we could harness that much energy would would have harnessed the worlds largest source of renewable energy.

This yet another pathetic move on behalf of Salisbury government.

The Sheriff Does not need one nor does any law enforcement officer. The Maryland Transportation article clearly states that while conducting offical business, police vehicles are not required to pay meters or be restricted by any parking regulations. The Sheriff was just being poltically correct in paying the meter. The parking meter troll nor any officer would not dare put a measly parking ticket on his vehicle or any other police vehicle. This happened before with one of the meter trolls who has since retired. She quickly got the message after she got stroked.

They don't even give city PD officers parking permits. They have to borrow one to go to court. Supposedly it's a computer program problem and city doesn't feel the need to fix it.

Park your marked Sheriff's patrol unit in front of a friggin' meter and go into court without feedin' it and see what happens. I have personally been given 2 citations several years ago. The first one I took to the last Sheriff and got reamed. I was told to pay it. The second won I got while in court longer than expected. I just payed it. There aren't enough parking spaces for all the police cars which are at the court buildings at the same time. The County govt. should seriously consider setting more aside. The mayor of Salisbury SUCKS donkey choad.

second won? whew.....second one.
