Extreme weather and a momentous primary election have coincided in what is the most significant week for Salisbury in the new Century. Jim Ireton beat the Tilghman-Comegys political machine run by landlords and developers, and Bubba is so close to total defeat that Richard Insley must be in meltdown mode until next Monday, at least.
Shanie Shields is now trailing Cynthia Polk, who should be supported in the general election by many, probably most, of those who voted for Tim Chaney on Tuesday. It just don’t get much better than this, despite Tim not surviving the primary, unless Bob Caldwell bumps Bubba out of the box when the rest of the ballots are counted next week.
There’s that and much more to come before Salisbury residents vote again on April 7 – and it all will be covered on this blog.

Before anyone takes the Tim Chaney voters (and Ralph MacIntyre's too) for granted, people want to know more. Don't need another version of Louise Smith for District 1 or a Change-of-Heart (For Now) Shanie.
Ireton's big win in the primary signals that people want real CHANGE from Barrie Bubba! We gonna get that in District 1 or not? Don't know enough about Polk to know.
Well you already know what you have in Shanie. If Cynthia picks good mentors like maybe Von and others on the council, Cynthia can listen at work sessions and know more about the issues before a council meeting vote.
Everyone has to start somewhere. You'll only get one choice the next time, vote for change.
You know the differential the mayor, bubba and Cathcart keep asking for is just crazy. What about citizens of Worchester and Dorchester? What do we do put up a toll to enter the city?
Maybe Worchester should put up a toll to charge Wicomico citizens to get into Ocean City? You must remember that people coming from other areas are spending money while here and helping business thrive morons.
If rental houses are 70% of the housing and using 70% of infrastructure they should be supporting 70% of our budget.
8:32 -- Polk can't be worse than Shanie, so why no take a chance? Simply getting rid of her should show Polk how things have finally changed -- and that it's no longer "Salisbarrie."
I would bet if the county did cave in and give Salisbury a differential, you can bet that your county taxes will go up and everything will be back to being overtaxed just in different hands.
With the current city council I'd personally feel better that the county had my money, this council would blow it. It's time to clean house and take out the trash, it stinks.
Vote Ireton, Campbell
As many pictures that we have seen of Gary loffing and hiding from his state job, do you think he would change of he was elected mayor? The thought makes me want to throw up.
