Shanie Up By One Vote, No Change


It looks like Shanie Shields has won the District 1 seat and will remain Salisbury Councilwoman.

I'd like to personally congratulate Shanie for her win and thank Cynthia Polk for running. The two of them ran good clean campaigns and both can hold their heads high by doing so.

Clearly your vote counts in local elections. I spoke to Shanie about this last night and she said no matter what happens, it will be her personal goal to express to her District just how important it is for people to vote. People have died to offer you this freedom and all too often Americans take it for granted.

Shanie also informed me that it is her goal to create a Website where she can update it regularly, (not a Blog, she said) to keep her District better informed. Onward and upward Folks.

When Debbie and Terry put up a website to keep their district informed, Shanie Shields condemned them.

All her nice talk is just b.s. Shanie don't walk that walk.

Shanie create a website? Is that what she got her associates degree in from Wor-Wic? Computer Science? I'm laughing so hard my ribs hurt.

I judge a person by their actions.

Shanie Shields last night voted for 2 more years of disasterous government with her vote for Louise Smith as City Council President.

She guaranteed that NONE of Mayor Ireton's programs will ever see the light of day. As Council President, Louise Smith will not let ANY of Mayor Ireton's proposals be introduced by Debbie Campbell or Terry Cohen.

The will of 60% of this entire city has been undone by one vote in District 1.

6:22. I seen both houses. Shanie's old one was a dump. Cynthia's ain't.

Cynthia at least wouldn't vote the slumlord agenda. Shanie is all bout dat.

I see one of Shanie's supporters is as ignorant as Shanie. She ought to have a class in the fundamentals of writing.

Someone with the time and energy needs to start a recall document to get the town rid of at least two of the city council people! I am ready to sign it.

A recall petition should be initiated post haste.

it is what it is so all yall haters let shanie do what she do!

Does anyone have the resources to start an email petition to pass around the city like the Patriotic Resistance is doing? This is how getting Comegys and Smith recalled will get done. In addition, it will take people at card tables on street corners in neighborhoods that are predominately non- internet users to gain enough signatures to get Shanie's recall done.
Anyone out there, please tell Joe, and he can hook you up with me.

Shanie has dragged herself through the mud since high school.

When I saw Shanie's response to the Pac-14 discussion of April 13, I was aghast. She is an embarrasment to herself and the community at large. She has no knowledge, no insight and no logic.

This is not Pocomoke City. A family member of Shanie's was on duty at the polling place for district 1. That should be a conflict of interest.

Orsonwells, how many signatures are required for a recall? On Shields?

Suck it up .. Shanie won!

Whether it's Shanie or Cynthia who won is not the real problem here.. the real problem is the disgraceful voter turnout.
Black folk complain that they can't get representation, so the powers-that-be have to stack the deck by creating special voting districts comprised of mostly 'minorities'.
And look what happens.
You know what? I'd bet if one of these two ladies had been running against a white opponent, some folk would have shut off the TV and got up off their butt to go VOTE!

8:27 and others, besides your dislike of Comegys and Smith, do you have a viable reason for a recall? The voters put both into their positions, and the Council voted for its leaders, following the procedures outlined in the city charter. Like it or not, they will be running the Council for at least the next two years.

voter turn out was poor. you have no one to blame but the collective apethetic. Its like closing the barn door after the horse gets out.

I can´t wait to see Shanie type a coherent statement on her web site.

Shanie, by the looks of the few comments on here from a few of your supporters they are just as unintelligent as you are. They are an embarrassment to the human race. They are just purely stupid and very GHETTO! I wouldn't be a bit surprised if those few comments weren't by you.

This is shameful. Disgusting.

Regardless of what you think, shut your mouth, Shaney may be a poor example of a council person. Cynthia may be outspoken, so what, it that any reason to call names, and spew hatred. No. No. No.

Grow up Salisbury, this is vile and so immature. VOTE I will bet you the people who have such a way of talking/writing did not vote. absolutely Ugly Ugly Ugly.

We were afraid of this...same old, same old. the council "officers election", 3 to 2...same old, same old.

It's a shame that one vote decides that District 1 gets no representation. Oh well, if you don't vote you don't deserve representation.

From the morning rag:

Shields said had she lost, she would not have requested the recount.

"I would have just kept on going," she said.

Shields couldn't resist a stab. She wouldn't have requested a recount -- her slumlord buddies would have insisted on it. Robin Cockey was her lawyer. Nuff said.

Shanie since you have won, for the first time in your life will you please think for yourself and not let others do it for you. Show us that you have the intelligence to be sitting at that table, because so far, you have not done so. This is very disappointing for those people you represent and very embarrassing for the residents of this city to be represented by someone who can't think for herself. Why must you always vote the same way Gary & Louise vote - what are they promising you - if you had not won this election do you honestly think they would have come to your rescue if you needed them? I doubt it. Shanie you are being used and I believe you are big enough to realize that, wake up.

9:51, Shanie does not have the capacity for independent thinking. I doubt that she can comprehend your message.She has aboslutely no insight. So sad.

Shanie Shields recommended that 'JACK SPRAT' be involved in the Pac-14 issue. Remember him from childhood? Jack Sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean. So between the two of them, they picked something clean. That is a clear indication of her mentality.

The people who voted for Shanie have the same mentality.

Neither was a good choice.
