The Truth Will Make You Sick

At Monday's Salisbury City Council meeting the public was treated to the latest installment of the Lynn Cathcart for City Council '09 campaign. Former Councilwoman Cathcart rose to state that the "attacks" thrown against her during the December 10, 2007 Council meeting by Councilwoman Terry Cohen made Cathcart "sick to her stomach".

I have always maintained that Cathcart is no slouch as a politician. In true Hillary Clinton fashion Cathcart played the victim to the max. What did Cohen say in December? She stated that she could not vote for someone (Cathcart) to serve on the city's Board of Zoning Appeals who had voted for an illegal zoning in the past. Shocking!

If Cohen had asked my advice prior to making the statement I would have said to not make it. Unfortunately for Mrs. Cathcart, Ms. Cohen was 100% accurate. Cathcart voted for the original re-zoning of the old mall, which was ruled illegal by Judge Jackson.

What part of Ms. Cohen's statement was not true?

I always heard that "the truth shall set you free". I guess Mrs. Cathcart plans on not using that one when she runs again in 2009.

I'm guessing that her vocal support of the Tilghman / Smith / Comegys tax hike of 2007 will be labeled "an attack" if spoken of publicly. The same will probably apply to her abuse hurled at the petitioners attempting to stop the same tax increase. I wonder how she'll respond to a reminder of her most famous public remark? - "The (public) schools are not our concern."

Cathcart did a real "Hillary Clinton" act at the meeting this week.

Cohen is correct about Barrie's lackey, Lynn, being unfit to be on the planning board. I'll never forget when she told those students from Bennett not to complain about it being overcrowded because "it has always been that way."

Wilber didn't know what the charter said about this appointment. Campbell had to read it to him. The appointment was to be made by the council and Wilber, who is paid to review the meeting materials didn't even know. What's up?

"Veritas parit odium" (the truth begets hatred) begets is loosely translated to mean generates.

IS SHE STILL GETTING A STREET NAMED FOR HER AFTER THE APPROVAL OF THE TIF FOR THE OLD MALL DEMO???

Yes, she is.

It's called the Cathcart Cul-de-Sac, because it runs around in a circle whining about things.

"WAAAAAA, your hurt my feelings; you're a meanie."

What about those folks that you trashed when you were on the Council, Lynn, including those who successfully challenged in Court your unlawful rezoning?

they should call it cathartic circle (the street to name after her)
