... someone who allows themself to be made a fool of and keeps on coming back for more? If you live in Salisbury, MD that type of individual is personified by Salisbury councilwoman Louise Smith.
I have to give Mayor Barrie Tilghman credit. From the moment Louise was elected, the Godmother has played Louise like a maestra. She played to Louise's vanity and got her to back out on her committment to support Debbie Campbell for Council President. If it wasn't for Councilman Gary Comegys' desire to be Mayor, Louise would have gone along with the Godmother's double-digit water and sewer increase. (Remember, Louise NEVER votes in the minority. Once Gary ducked for cover, Louise had to switch her vote.)
Now we are winding up on the Great Confetti Papers Scandal of 2008. Is this really a scandal? Only if your name is Louise Smith. Remember, this is the issue that Louise ran on. She promised the voters that this would never happen under her watch.
OK. Let's give the old gal the benefit of the doubt for the audit not being completed on time this year. There's just one problem. Louise told us all that she would be on this from day one in office. Every time the question of the audit came up and the Tilghman Family told us that it would be on time Louise just kept nodding and grinning.
Come December, Louise bored us all with a little speech about how she had "taken the Mayor to the woodshed". Louise assured the public that the audit would be completed by December 17th. Guess what Louise? Barrie made a fool of you again. Promised by Christmas. Fool again. Promised by New Year's. Fool again.
But don't worry Louise. Just keep banging that gavel. Keep backing out on your word. Keep supporting those tax increases. Keep bloating the bureaucracy. You need Barrie as a friend because I understand that your old friends are getting almost as tired of you as the rest of us.
