Salisbury News Just Got A Winning Ticket

Like it or not, as of this moment Shanie Shields in the winner of the District 1 Council Seat. So what does this mean for Salisbury News, a lot!

If Cynthia Polk would have won, what would we have to write about for the next 4 years? Because Shanie has temporarily won her District, I know darned well that Mayor Tilghman will be running the City of Salisbury along with Mike Dunn, Lynn & Don Cathcart, SAPOA, you name it. They're have a 3 to 2 vote on the Council and while the new Mayor of Salisbury, Jim Ireton will do everything in his powers to deliver reasonable and responsible legislation, the Council will shoot it down time and time again because Bubba, Louise and Shanie are too afraid of their own shadows, let alone those mentioned above.

So for me, this is really cool. Advertisers are lining up for Salisbury News and we continue to grow each and every day. Just when you think you're reached that ultimate plateau, in comes a couple more thousands hits and they stay there without negative change.

So it looks like we're going to be taking on the Big Boys, the MSM. WMDT, WBOC and the Daily Times will soon feel the impact of our new presence and at 11:00 or so today we were delivered some of the best news we could receive.

That being said, I'd like to personally congratulate Shanie Shields and thank her for her commitment to the Council. Things are going to get really interesting from here on out and in my line of business, this is perfect. Without a Shanie Win I would have had to reconsider this Blog because quite frankly things would have been quite boring.

So what's to become of our new Mayor? I happen to know Mr. Ireton's strategies on this matter and quite frankly, the man is a genius! Nope, I'm not going to share it. You people mentioned above will simply have to sit back and recalculate everything because not only are you not going to be able to figure this guys out, you're not going to know what to do about it.

I see a self destructing group and even more growth for Salisbury News. Why is that so important? Because the more we grow, the more we deliver for our advertisers. The more we grow, the more business they get. The more advertisers we get, the lower the cost for their advertisements so it's a win/win for everyone.

Prepare for the next level from Salisbury News. It's coming soon.

Good for you, Albero, but like I said on another post, this is bad news for my relatives in Salisbury.

Doesn't matter what Ireton's strategy is. As you said, your old mayor will still control things. His win and the Campbell lady's are now meaningless.

Don't be so gloomy! Jim has some serious political chops--you will see some changes coming to Salisbury.

I like the idea of growth; however, I hope that the advertising doesn't overwhelm the blog. There is nothing more irritating than getting on a website and have some stupid pop up ad come up. Please remember that Joe when you start the advertising. You've come a long way and it's great. You've definately kept people on their toes which is exactly the kind of journalism we need around here.

Funny part is, we've been doing it for more than a month now and you haven't even noticed it. That's exactly what we designed each ad to do. It flows with the articles, exposes these companies, they're seeing great results so far and I couldn't be happier.

Now your saying to yourself, huh, how did I miss that? Because I'm good, that's how! LOL

12:45, the gloomy is for my relatives. With what I read about the "council majority" in your town, I can't imagine things getting better for you there.

Doesn't matter how big Ireton's political chops may be. That sounds like a truly evil bunch you have there and the Shields woman is just along for the food-salary-benefits ride.

You all wait--Jim is going to be great, and he will get things done. We are going to be at those council meetings and we will make life miserable for any council members that get in the way unreasonably. there are many loopholes, my friends! Help is on the way!!!!

Shields can not see the forest for the trees. She is being used like a like a ten cent whore.How is she so out of touch with reality? Is she developmentally delayed?
