Delegate Mike Smigiel Visits Salisbury News

Remember this Post I put up the other day referencing the Homeless, Mayor Tilghman, Police Chief Webster and the Town of Elkton having to settle for $7,500.00 per homeless person? "Mayor Tilghman & Chief Webster Better Read This Post" Check this out. Delegate Mike Smigiel came to Salisbury News and left the following message.

"At least in Salisbury you know who is responsible for the problem. In Elkton its see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. No one has any recollection of who ordered what. (Not the Police Chief, the Mayor or Commissioners) The A.C.L.U. has the whole town running afraid to enforce even obvious violations of the law. I am sure the settlement has only enticed others to move into the area.

Believe it or not the mess under the bridge is still here after two weeks and we have not seen a word about it in the press. Keep up the good work."

Mike, thanks for stopping by and showing you care. It's a Holiday and you're on the Internet checking out information on the problems the Homeless are facing. My hat is tipped to you Sir. Joe Albero

State pension fund - $44 Billion in debt, worst in the country.
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax - 10.25% highest in country. (Look it up).

Good luck and may God help us

Mark Douglas Jewelers Closing

We received word the other day tat the Mark Douglas Jewelers at the Center of Salisbury Mall will be closing their doors for good. They simply said, we can't make money at the Mall. Things weren't going well as it was and then the Mall Management allowed another Jewelery Store to open up right next to them. Another business in Salisbury bites the dust.

More PAC-14 Propaganda

PAC-14 manager Mike Goodson is either getting bolder in his old age, or he's running out of shills willing to stand before the public and make a bad argument.  Last Monday's piece of propaganda in the Daily Times is just one more case on point.

"Goodson's philosophy mirrors that of an informal group called Friends of PAC-14".  Of course it does.  Goodson was instrumental in the group's formation, just as he was instrumental in making sure that the board of directors weren't called to meetings.  Goodson was also the driving force behind the recent "dog and pony shows" seen at recent Salisbury and Wicomico council meetings.

Goodson's argument is a simple, and unrealistic, one.  Goodson wants a PAC-14 that receives taxpayer dollars but is not accountable to elected officials.  Goodson also wants cable rates to rise in order to finance a multi-million dollar palace for him to work out of.

Given that neither he nor his allies are able to offer a persuasive argument on the accountability issue, they claim that there will be accountability through an agreement requiring PAC-14 to broadcast city and county government meetings.  With all due respect, that is the price of admission Mike.  That doesn't equate to accountability with tax dollars.

Goodson and his pals at SU have mislead the public and our governments by submitting budgets that were not reviewed (and failed to notify the governments that they weren't reviewed).  They have mislead the government by spending tax dollars on "consultants" that have given little, if any, value to the citizens PAC-14 is obliged to serve.

No one is questioning Goodson's passion.  No one is questioning his desire to push for more of what HE BELIEVES the public either wants or needs.  What I am questioning is his belief that only he has the answers and that he will do or say almost anything in pursuit of HIS GOALS.
