Breaking News

I received a message from County Executive Rick Pollitt last night referencing the Auditing Firm and some possible changes some time today. I received a call around 7:30 AM this morning asking me to listen to the Bill Reddish Show and I caught the very end of Rick's interview. He again mentioned something would be happening today referencing the accounting issue.

If I were to guess I'd say they are making the right move and hiring a Firm well outside the Salisbury area simply to protect their own hides. In one of mt conversations yesterday with someone who would make decisions on this matter I said, Rick's crooked, he's on the take, he's known about these problems for years and he hired this Firm knowing they would do what he says. They replied, COME ON JOE, you know that's not true. I replied, yes, I do know that's 100% not true. However, to people like Billy Duvall and other Rick Pollitt haters, that's what they're going to fire back and put into the minds of other taxpayers. Do you want to answer to that once the Accounting Firm is finished?

So you see, this thing can become more complicated than you think. My hope, (for Rick's sake) that he's seen the light and has made some changes? Time will tell. More to come later.........

Take out Rick's name and replace with Barrie and you described the Barrie haters.
Look Joe, you have a great blog which I read several times a day and will continue to do so. But your hypocrisy is astonishing on this matter.

Good move on Ricks part to erase any doubt or hints of impropriety--NOW if only Barrie would do the same, Oh, that's right, she is the biggest criminal In the city.

Where, oh where did the biggest criminal in the city run off to Monday night with her chief police protection? Not like the criminal to get up and leave in the middle of council meeting. Could they have gone to Market Street Inn or the City Bistro? Could they both have driven off under the influence? Was her police protection driving a city owned vehicle? Questions, questions, questions and no honest answers. EVER.

Rick sure has his hands full right now and I'd bet he never thought it could be this way when he ran for office. Stay above all this mess Rick and do the right thing for the taxpayers!

i didn't vote for any council exec cause i thought , just another big buck salary for the taxpayers to have to fork over. still don't believe in the concept.
now, i think mr. pollitt has the reins & is moving in the right direction.
i applaud his wisdom, so far. hopefully he'll continue to please us all, and begin by clearing the dead wood.
