Transparency In Fund Raising


Salisbury-- Candidate for Mayor, Jim Ireton, issues the following statement this afternoon.


"Even though the election is being held on April 7th, the final filing deadline for campaign contributions is on March 31st. That leaves an eight day window where funds can be raised, but do not have to be disclosed. I believe that's a disservice to Salisbury voters who need to know how campaigns are funded all the way up until election day. It is because of this gap, that I am formally pledging to not accept any donations after the March 31st filing deadline. My commitment to transparency in government doesn't start when I am elected as Mayor. It starts with this campaign."

You can bet Comegys will be accepting donations right up to the end and all the funds donated will not be reported.

SPD was there on the scene during Jim's event in the neighborhood. I think it's safe to say, they appreciated everything offered by our next mayor, Jim Ireton.

Well handled, Jim.

That Ireton is a class act.

His opponent comes off as a class act, too, as in Class A Boob.

How anyone could vote for the boob over Ireton amazes me. Must be something in your water, Salisbury.
