Councilman Comegys Blocks Handicap Spot?

10 minutes ago a call went out to check a tag for a vehicle blocking a handicapped ramp. Allegedly it came back to Councilman Comegys and you know what, there was a handicapped person trying to get down ramp and couldn't.

Way To Go Gary! Bubba Comegys, Yo Nex Mare! LOL

UPDATE: No question about it any more. The car was registered to Gary and Debbie Comegys. Now, let's see if he got a ticket for doing so, or not? FOB? The fine is at least $100.00 plus.

Remember the 72% Water & Sewer Rate Increase

Well, it's one thing to have an average bill of $972.00 a year right now that will go up to $1,572.00 a year. It's another thing when you're a resident just OUTSIDE the City Limits who already pays 150% on that $972.00. Their normal yearly bill is $1,458.00 a year. When you tack on a 72% increase their bill will go to $2,507.76 a year! The rates I'm giving you are RESIDENTIAL rates, not business rates.

It's one thing when you have competition but it's another when you have a monopoly on a business and you create increases like they have. In other words, if McDonald's had a burger for $1.00 and they increased it to $1.72, you could go to Hardee's and still get their burger for $1.00 and the competition would keep things in check or McDonald's would go under. There is no Hardee's in the Water & Sewer business, so screw the Taxpayer and make them pay for the mismanagement mistakes of the Mayor.

Look, there are numerous reasons in which I have watched this Mayor mismanage the City of Salisbury while the majority of the Council sat back and rubber stamped Developer Reimbursements not knowing what the hell they were doing. If you'll even recall, the contract the City had with these Developers was, IF the City couldn't afford to pay back these reimbursements, they didn't have to. Debbie Campbell challenged this long ago and clearly stated, the City of Salisbury is NOT in a financial position to give back money to ANY of these Developers. The Mayor and majority of the Council ignored her and instead had a 14% Tax Increase on the TAXPAYERS and in reality forced the Taxpayers to foot the bill for these reimbursements.

Would YOU have someone running YOUR business this way? Well, it IS YOUR BUSINESS! It's time to get rid of these people and put someone in Office that would get back to accountability. Get the accounting department back to the way it used to be. Heck, I could go on and on about what I'd do but I'm sure you get the picture. I know my example in the burger business is a small one but it sends the message home in comparison.

You people need to make some serious changes or the City will certainly be Bankrupt, just like the Council Vice President. Whoops, did I say that? In the mean time Mr. & Mrs. Cathcart, enjoy your new increases and showing such undying support for Barrie Tilghman's decisions.

Question of the Day, Sat 5/24

Happy Memorial Day weekend. Summer is practically here. Children are just a few weeks away from summer vacation from school.

What vacations do you have scheduled this summer? What's your idea of "roughing it" while on vacation? Is your vacationing plans changing due to the economy and fuel prices?
