A Letter To The Editor On The Salisbury Elections


"Joe,
Love your blog. I lived in Salisbury from 1959 until we retired and moved South in 1996. I am not familiar with any of candidates, except Bob Caldwell, so other than reading your impressions I am at a loss as to each of their attributes.

I do know that all the bickering, childish behavior that has been exhibited over the last many years makes Salisbury seem like a circus. Past Mayors such as Paul Martin, Frank Morris and leaders such as Dave Rodgers would be so ashamed of these actions. It is time to discontinue all the discourse and start looking out for the citizens of Salisbury. The town is on such a downward spiral that I really have no interest in coming back.

During my residence in Salisbury, I was pretty involved in civic matters, serving on the Board of the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce, as Vice President of the Jaycees, instrumental in the Salisbury Festival, chairing the project for three years, being involved with the bringing of the YMCA to Salisbury, as well as it's Executive Director for 3 years so I will always have fond memories of the old Salisbury. Now it is time to reestablish those old and better days by making sure that there is a group of people running the town that are mature and have the best interest of Salisbury and its citizens in mind."

We need everyone to call their friends, families and neighbors to offer them a ride to the polls to vote for Caldwell and Ireton.

Please everyone do your civic duty and help us win back our city. Even if you are in the county you can still help out at the polls. What affects the city will have a detrimental affect on the county.

Please do your part at the polls as well. Stay there all day long and wave signs.

Joe, it might be a good idea to list the polling places. I talked to a friend yesterday and she thought she was going to Wi Hi to vote. I don't believe that is so.

Polling places are open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Voters in District 1 can cast their ballot at St. James AME Zion Church, while voters in District 2 are split between Harvest Baptist Church and Wicomico Presbyterian Church. Voters should have received a mailing from the Wicomico County Board of Elections with their polling place. For questions, call 410-548-4830.
