Ireton, Campbell will move city in a better direction
Erick Sahler's editorial cartoon from the 2005 Salisbury election accurately portrayed Mike Dunn and Gary Comegys as children on a playground refusing to "play" with Debbie Campbell. For four long years, Campbell's political opponents have tried to paint her as negative.
One of the most positive things a person can do is right a wrong or identify a problem and work to fix it. That is what Campbell does, with integrity and dignity.
The Daily Times incorrectly reported that Campbell's opponent, Muir Boda, was not aligned with anyone. Boda clearly stated at the NAACP candidate forum that he supported Comegys for mayor. Mayor Barrie Parsons Tilghman also endorsed Comegys.
After nearly six long years of voting almost 100 percent of the time with Tilghman's wishes, this city can't afford another four years of the same.
Comegys voted for a double-digit tax increase before he looked at the budget. He and Tilghman said it was needed for the police. Yet the amount of that increase -- $1.9 million -- went back to surplus, even after the police received raises. Comegys kept quiet about the problems with the wastewater treatment plant while "celebrating" its success, just as Tilghman did.
Bob Caldwell was my first choice in the primary, but Jim Ireton is honest and will not hide city problems from the public.
Vote for Ireton and Campbell. Both have the energy and the integrity to move this city in a much better direction.

Mr. George, I'm sure you were a huge help with the election results. Especially the day the mare hand delivered that letter to your door. I'm not a Salisbury resident but if I were I would of voted for anyone not associated with that woman.
I always look forward to Saturday mornings for your post. Seeing this letter again made me happier than it did the first time. Mostly due to that incident with the mare and how people are looking at her now. It sure isn't pitty!

I prefer Mr. Chevallier's post ala Brice Stump than this.
We all love George's history lessons.
But this was labeled, best letter of the ELECTION.
I agree, Mr. George. You were to the point and hit on a real theme:
HONESTY!
Thank you for a great letter.
Joe, Dot Truitt's pointing out the screw ups and lies of the DT was fantastic, too. I nominate them both!
