The following two statements are the kicker to the article published in the Daily Times concerning the investigation of the DRILL Academy. Has this woman no shame?
”Salisbury Police Chief Allan Webster, who has called video footage he has seen at the former DRILL Academy "shocking" and "appalling," urged Tilghman to send the letter, she said.”
True to form, if this were to backfire on Barrie, she isn’t going down alone; she is taking her chief with her. (A council member being kicked to the groin goes unseen. Was this not shocking and appalling?) What is even more shocking and appalling is Barrie Tilghman and Chief Webster won’t get their priorities straight.
"As mayor, if (my) chief police officer, regardless of jurisdiction, sees something that needs light shown on it, I should get involved," Tilghman said.” Barrie, Barrie, Barrie, where was that light when your chief of police requested more funding and personnel?
Why isn’t Barrie shining light on some of the crime in Salisbury? Doesn’t her police chief see the drug dealers, prostitutes, gang bangers on his way in and out of town? Oh, silly me, there is no crime, drugs or gangs in the land of Barrie. To improve your vision and that of your chief police officer, I recommend removing those rose colored glasses. You might see what the rest of us are seeing in the city. You might see the city is suffering more violent crime this year than 2007, and we’re only 7 months into 2008.
What I and countless others find shocking and appalling is:
The closing of the police sub stations on Cecil and Smith Streets.
Three murders just weeks after your claim that Part 1 crime is down, in your state of the city address.
An elderly man is robbed and beaten in his home.
A child is sexually assaulted in her home in the middle of the night
A woman is awakened by an intruder holding a dagger to her throat.
A woman’s body found murdered on Marvel Road.
Drug dealers selling their wares openly on our streets.
Prostitutes, soliciting in broad daylight on our streets.
Playgrounds taken over by gangs.
The chief of police requesting more personnel only to be cut from the mayors’ budget year after year.
Our streets literally collapsing beneath us.
The pollution of the river through illegal drainage at the zoo.
Maintaining an illegal sludge pit seeping raw waste into our ground waters and river.
The many spills of sewage into the river.
The planning of larger storm drain pipes WITHOUT filtration to continue to pollute our river.
So, Miss 99% compliance, Miss I should get involved, shall I continue?
Stay tuned folks, there is more to come. To read Part 1 Go Here

Great Post.
Barrie Tilghman has ruined the City of Salisbury and should be recalled immediately. She is once again trying to deflect attention from her mistakes and misfeasance -- and once again with the aid and assistance of the Daily Times.
Barrie, Barrie, Barrie--you are so pathetic. Spend your time focused on the City issues--that is why you are paid a salary by CITY taxpayers. Try to follow the logic here, Barrie, you need to spend your time on City busines--not trying to get some people fired, sued or otherwise crushed. I know you are finding it hard, Barrie, to do this job, but just try to keep up, o.k.????????
I can't wait till she's a regular citizen; then she'll have to face the facts and deal with all the problems she's caused without the resources of a mayor's influence.
Number one - she's too drunk most of the time to notice or care what is going on in Salisbury.
Number two - she will maintain a huge amount of influence even after she is no longer mayor. The list of people who owe her favors is long and includes many people that she has helped make wealthy, along with herself, via the use of public funds and preferential treatments.
She will probably move to Delmar ROTFLMAO! She is just like Clinton she has had a great timewith all th eperks of being a mayor, when she leaves maybe she will build a library in her name......
Now that is funny.....
First off I dont know much about Salisbury's politics, or Barrie Tilghman but I know five years ago when my family and I first moved to Salisbury we thought that it was amzing, awesome and anything else good you could think of and after about 3 years went by our whole perception changed. Having people ask you to buy drugs or some soliciting sex while your walking into WaWa to buy a coffee or pay for some gas while cops are right inside themselves getting their free drinks but they dont do anything, and an hour later I see the same cop busting underage kids at the mall smoking ciggarettes. They cant afford to anything about actual crimes but an afford to something as petty as that. Why???
She has done such a great job as Mayor that I didnt want to live in her city anymore.
The drill academy was The best solution for juvenile rehabilitation in our area, if not the State. Now what do we have?Soaring records of youth & juvenile criminals getting caught, then released, then caught, then released, until they finally grow up to become hard core Adult thugs.
So what does State Morons the likes of Barrie Tilghman have done to allieviate the problem? Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would we the citizens, even dare to hope, that Madam Barrie Tilghman offer us a viable solution beyond her customary, misplaced, abnoxious regrujerated retoric? Hell may freeze over first!
These so called public servants have shamed themselves, and their offices by their personal quest of self enrichement & self empowerement. Either the public wakes up from it's appathetic nap, or the parasites will simply continue to thrive, while we all suffer the consequences.
So Disgusted.
The only solution to all of these problems is to make big administrative changes come next April. We need real leadership at the helm of this city, not the bunch we have now. So I hope all will remember all that has has transpired the past decade and vote accordingly next April!

She can't even manage a city properly and she wants to tell the FBI and state comptroller what their jobs are.
Excellent damn post!
