Last night at the City Council Work Session, Louise Smith proved she is rushing for solutions referencing Health Insurance for Council Members. The big question is, why?
It has been proven that nothing can be done with "current" Council Members and quite frankly there's a ton of major issues the City is facing at this very moment and Louise Smith and Gary Comegys are chomping at the bit to remove any insurance any future Council Member might be eligible for.
Here' the problem though. We just had elections and they now have 2 years before they actually have to address what they feel is a problem. There's a $45,000,000.00 lawsuit against the Police Department no one wants to talk about. There's a $82,000,000.00 screw up at the WWTP. Louise Smith and Gary Comegys need to stop grandstanding on stupid issues and tackle the major issues at hand first.
While Gary Comegys once again attacked Debbie Campbell trying to suggest she broke the law by accepting health insurance, the guy couldn't be more stupid. He was reciting case law, (or something of the sort) clearly hand fed by the former Mayor once again but they tend to forget Shanie Shields held TWO health insurance policies, forcing the taxpayers to spend somewhere near $10,000.00 a year on her for years while she had another policy. That's closer to breaking a law than Debbie Campbell reimbursing the City for the first three years she was in Office. Get a grip Gary.
Over on the Daily Times they're already bickering about Debbie, trying to get some momentum going on this issue. One Idiot even claimed that since Debbie Campbell owns a few homes, she shouldn't be receiving Health Insurance. I'll give you ONE guess who that individual is and I'll even give you a few hints. He's over 500 pounds, lives in Section 8 housing for $35.00 a month, collects Disability and free Health Insurance and spends his day/life bashing Debbie Campbell each and every day.
Get over it Gary & Louise, we have other serious matters at hand and it's very clear what you're trying to do. They want to discourage anyone else from running for Office so they can regroup and take back seats in the next election. Oh well, it's business as usual at the GOB.

Did not this very council vote FOR medical benefits to the new head of "Urban Salisbury"?
ReplyDeletemy god people. let the health insurance thing go. It is obviously a personal issue with Gary for some unknown reason. Move on to address the issues the city is facing.
ReplyDeleteKnowingly posting false information about a certain person such as you have with this post is not "satire"; it becomes a "civil" issue, which you can be sued for. Just my 2 cents worth
ReplyDeleteGet over JT Joe unless you can prove it is true. For someone who refuses to read the DT or SG you sure know a lot about them. Hmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteI saw louise in wal-mart the other evening "alone". If I were her I would have a friend with me in case I got "jumped".
ReplyDeleteLouise and gary Two yrs left for the betrayer and crook.
ReplyDeleteThe simple answer might be that they are hoping to discourage Terry Cohen fro running for re-election, thus they have to hurry this through.
ReplyDeleteWhat is being said here that ISN'T true?Someone with a Medical card should not be harping on someone for having employer paid health coverage.In fact,just the opposite.
ReplyDelete11:20,
ReplyDeleteWhatever you think of Louise's policies, you should not get personal like that. I, too, saw her, and she was perfectly pleasant to me. You really ought to apologize.
Louise and Gary are just trying to prevent anything positive from happening in the next two years. It is time for the obstructionists to get out and lets get the city moving in a positive direction. They would love to say that the Mayor and his supporters have had 2 years and nothing got done during the next election.
ReplyDeleteThe notion that Debbie Campbell broke the law is utterly stupid. Gary Comegys has said some stupid things in his day, but this just may take the cake.
ReplyDeleteThey're just pi$$ed that Terry Cohen cleaned their clocks at that ethics hearing. They can't cope with someone smart and well-read.
Stupid, petty, spiteful when we have much bigger problems to deal with. Boffo post, Joe.
If nothing gets done in the next two years it's going to point to the majority of the council. The people have seen the light.
ReplyDeleteAnd furious that Debbie Campbell beat what they stand for soundly in the last election. Boda and Comegys (and Smith) should go home and rethink who they work for. Shanie shouldn't let her hate get in the way of representing the citizens of the city. Here's the clue for Gary and Louise about who you work for, the public.
