Press Release: From Jim Ireton

Daily Times Grapevine Caller Gets It Wrong

The Wicomico Neighborhood Congress has accomplished much in the previous 3 years...including:

-Crime - educating residents about the issue of gangs in Salisbury and Wicomico County through a Forum on Crime in Delmar
-Environment - educating residents about the pollution in the Wicomico River and tributaries through a Forum on the Environment at Mallard Landing in Salisbury
-Growth and Development - educating residents about the issues and options that Wicomico faces through a Forum on Growth in Hebron

Local, regional, and national experts have been brought to Wicomico County by the leaders of the congress in order to give citizens the resources and options they need to bring change. The Neighborhood Congress has always had as its mission the educating and empowering of the community. The support from County Executive Pollitt, City Councilwoman Debbie Campbell, and many other elected and appointed county and city officials, and all the expertise they have brought to this endeavor, has been greatly appreciated. The recent Fall Forum on Foreclosure was cancelled when a national speaker pulled out. Any questions please contact Jim Ireton at 410-749-5712.

And so the Comegys weasel machine begins its quest to have Gary be our next mayor. Don't let it happen. A campaign that begins in negativity should end in negativity.

Let the backlash against these negative tactics begin!

I read that Grapevine and thought of Barrie saying to Mike Dunn, "Stick around because we have plans for you."

The plans were probably to have Mike Dunn be the political hatchet man against "the opposition." That Grapevine sounds like it came right out of his mouth.

Seeing him appear on the blog he claims was the reason he didn't run for re-election (more than that, he ran across the border out of the city), this has his prints all over it. "Sorry, pal."

I think before everyone jumps on the Ireton express they need to consider other people may run..perhaps Bob Caldwell..
