Salisbury Mayor Using City Resources for Kratovil Campaign
If you live in Salisbury, it appears that your tax dollars are being used to further the political ambitions of Frank Kratovil. This morning Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil is scheduled to speak at St. James AME Church in Salisbury. This church is also apparently the church attended by Salisbury Asst. City Administrator Lore Chambers.
At Saturday's "goal setting" session for the city, Mayor Barrie Tilghman and Chambers were overheard making plans for Kratovil's appearance in Salisbury today. This was official city business. City employees like City Administrator John Pick and Chambers are typically compensated for their time. Therefore, it is illegal for those individuals to engage in partisan political activity.
Now that we have brought this to people's attention, I wouldn't be surprised if Chambers doesn't ask to be compensated for this meeting. Of course, we need only look at past years to determine if she was compensated for the annual "goal setting" session.
When the city raises your taxes next year, as they certainly will if Tilghman or one of her cronies sits in the Mayor's office, you should send a note that you already gave to Kratovil's campaign - or you supported Andy Harris.

Salisbury Young Professionals
Joe,
As a representative of The Young Professionals of the SACC I just wanted to
write to thank you for helping us. Recently, we held our first re-launch
party at the new Rowens Mill Club House in Fruitland MD. Over 8 local
Restaurants and sponsors participated in our "Taste of the Town" theme. Our
event was a huge success! The party was packed with over 60 young
professionals - all having the opportunity to see our new image, logo,
website and future calendar of events before being introduced to the general
public.
The committee would like to thank everyone who participated and to remind
all Young Professionals alike to join us in our future endeavors! The
participation was more than expected and the excitement was electrifying!
The success of this event proved that the Young Professionals are a group
truly dedicated to making a difference in our community!

"Dear Joe,
On Tuesday early evening my daughter was hit by a car when she was trying to cross the road from our house to go to the park that is right across the street from where we live. We are thankful the man who hit her was actually going the speed limit. It was no fault on either side it was just an unfortunate accident. My family would lilke to send out a huge thank you for all the people who stopped to help my daughter. My family would also like to give a huge thank you for the Fire Dept., Police, and Ambulance who were there very quickly. For all those people who prayed for my daughter we thank you from the bottom of our hearts because it truly helped her.
My family tried to get a phone number or address of the man who hit my daughter but they wouldn't give it to us. So I am hoping He reads this or someone who knows him reads this will tell him that our daughter is doing fine and was sent home that night. She only suffered lots of scrapes and just the one huge bruise where she was hit. My daughter wants the man to know as well that she is truly sorry and we all hope he doing ok as well.
I hope you post this so all these people know how thankful we are for them. As well in hopes the man who was driving the car will know that my daughter is ok.
Thank you,
The Berryhill family"
