This is exactly why I believe Salisbury News is so important to our community.
While 47 News and 16 News didn't show up for this event, we brought it to you and many thousands of people will come here today and not just see bits and pieces that the Press wants to share with you, we've delivered the entire speech. YOU decide.
Thanks Joe. We need more of this. WAY TO GO JIM!
Notice there was not one "uhhh, ummmm, welllll, uhhhhhh...."
Just having a Mayor that "appears" competent will be a great blessing to this community.
I would suggest, however, that Jim "IS" competent.
Very comforting for this Salisbury native.
The Daily Times did a hatchet job on Jim again today. Why are my tax dollars going to paying a police chief to campaign against a mayoral candidate?
I felt unsafe in this town long before Jim Ireton declared to run.
Hey, Chief, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
The Daily Times has cut me off from commenting on the Ireton article. GO FIGURE!
And here's the Comegys campaign comment on crime, the WWTP, the economy, neighborhoods, etc:
"cricket . . . cricket . . . cricket."
That is exactly how he will govern--he doesn't have to explain anything to anyone, much less LISTEN to anyone other than the guys who wrote $250 checks. Here's my challenge to the Comegys campaign: Jim has pledged not to take any donations after March31 so he can make public his list of contributors before the election. Will Mr. Comegys do the same? I think not. I wonder why?
I registered an account just to point out their bias. My comment is up there for now. How long until they pull it?
There's an old saying "If God be for us then who could stand against us." I think this applies aptly to Comegys and the line of people he would be beholden to if he were to pull a victory out of his you know where. Mr. Ireton is not a politician...he actually makes sense and is sincere, therefore the label of "politician" would be an insult and defamatory. The people are sick and tired of Tilghman, Comegys and their henchmen and supporters. If this was my grandfather's day, they'd all be run out of town on a rail, literally, and dared to show their faces here again by men with rolled up sleeves and half chomped cigars in the corner of their mouths. (The rolled up sleeves would be on work shirts as everyone actually tried to find honest work back then.) I have a bit of insomnia and deliver papers and periodicals around town in the wee hours. Only two types of people out then, us (decent folks) and them (everyone else). I saw some comforting sights the past few days though, SPD "walking the beat." Young men, probably some young women too, putting leather to the pavement, checking doors and windows and talking to people who probably didn't want to be talked to, not in the Mayor's high rent district either, if you get what I mean. I like it. Get old fashioned on these punks and they won't know whether to scratch their watch or whind their you know what. Vote Ireton, sounds like he wants real change and I can't imagine other citizens wanting anything else.
I wish I lived in town, I know I would be voting for Ireton!!
Raise the Mayors salary to $50,000.00 a year, its a full time position.

Actually it should be raised to about $100,000. Get rid of John Pick and Lore Chamberpot and it will pay for itself.
OMG, the Daily Times article did not even come close to serving this press conference justice. What a hack job that woman did to Jim. Instead of quoting some sociology professor, how about talking to the residents of the city. I loved the line from Jim, "If you feel safer in this city than you did 11 years ago, vote for Gary!" I used to not even think twice about being out in my yard at dusk. Not since several of my neighbors have been robbed in their front yards over the years. Vote for Jim!!!
Mayor Tilghman had all the workings to raise the salary and when she decided not to run, she didn't put it in. So, now if Jim does it, it will not take effect until next term. I think it should be $75,000.
Honestly, you get what you pay for, and look what we have had over the last 12 years. I agree make it $75,000 a year, if you want truely qualified people.
8:45 and 10:52 I agree it should be more and you do get what you paid for. What intelligent person would quit a full time job for $75,000? It should be at least $100,000 a year for a full time Mayor. Ted Shea's salary with the county is over $100,000. Raise the salary and make it a full time job with full time benefits just like the County Executive. No more housewives!
Well, I do live in the city and I will vote for Ireton.
8:43, of course that pitiful excuse for a reporter did a hack job on Jim! She works for our own beloved "Daily Times" - a.k.a. a worthless, unreliable, totally BIASED, truth twisting RAG that calls itself a newspaper.
If I ever needed proof of that - and believe me, I didn't - it has come this week as I watched how they covered the WWTP story. Or should I say how they soft soaped it.
I've been a subscriber to the Times for the 12 years I've lived in Salisbury, but will not be renewing my subscription when it runs out at the end of this month. Their coverage of the run-up to this election has been the icing on a cake that has been tasting increasingly bitter to me for sometime now.
No more Tilghman Times for me. I'm reading something more reliable in the future...at this point, tea leaves would be a step up.
