Before GA Harrison, (Delmarve Dealings) left us, he had the following Post up.
"Providing essential services while being a competent steward of taxpayer money should be the primary goal a municipal government … unless your name is Barrie Tilghman. The Salisbury city government has a different goal - feeding the bureaucratic beast. Electrical contractors doing business in the city learned this lesson Tuesday night.
What were the reasons given for a municipal takeover of a previously private sector solution? Was there any accusation of wrong doing or incompetence in the current electrical inspection method? No. Simply put, the Tilghman administration wishes to grow the size of municipal government and take in additional revenues."
So Big Mouth Barrie, what happened? I'll try to bring this back up every so often so we can all get a laugh from time to time.

Shhhhh!!!! I am an electrical contractor that was in attendance at that meeting on October 30.
ReplyDeleteThere were so many unanswered questions and issues brought up that evening, the city had to jump back and punt.
We hope that at least for now, they'll let things remain in the private sector, and continue to allow the County to regulate the electricians.
The city has too many other important things on their plate for the time being and we hope that it stays that way!!
"What Ever Happened To The Electrical Inspection Dividion In Salisbury?"
ReplyDeleteThat was DingleBarries big dream of growing her massive empire. Just wait, she is working behind the scenes to take as much authority away from the county as possible.
You know what is so interesting about that?? The dumb @ss tax payers are allowing her to get away with it.
This debacle reminds you of Barrie's "food tax" scheme a few years ago, when the Dream Team was behind her until the local restaurants got about 2,500 persons to sign a petition against it, and Dunn and Comegys reconsidered and decised that it wasn't a good idea.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that the electrical inspection scheme is now on a slab in the morgue.

ReplyDeleteand, how, pray would the taxpayers prevent her
The city is only $71,000,000 in debt, why not create another department?
ReplyDeleteSeeing that this city has borrowed about 90% of it's borrowing capacity, what the hell are we supposed to do if we have a real emergency? Fuggin' idiots.
