TAPEGATE – Salisbury’s Own Little Morality Play

The Knave, played by Salisbury’s chief of police betrays his master by allying himself with the Red Witch.  Local versions of Desdemona are defiled.  A weak and insipid ruler refuses to stand up and defend the citizenry he is sworn to protect while being ridiculed by a jester and an evil version of the chorus, played by our very own Tilghman Times.

These are the main characters in what will be known as TAPEGATE.  Who are the heroes?  Who are the villains?

GA - you missed your calling. Well said. I hope Ireton isn't that stupid or complacent.

what a boring a-- article. Some people have way too much time on their hands. I'm sick of hearing about it. What I want is for someone to DO something about it. Just more hand wringing and cringing about a worthless department head that has been acknowledged by all for years. Its YOUR fault, Salisbury. YOU voted Barrie in and now YOU voted Jimmyboy in - both losers who don't have the courage to take on the real crime, corruption, and dirt in this community. Noooo, YOU would rather stand by and watch this soap opera play itself out instead of emailing, writing, or calling our "mayor" to complain and demand action. You got what you voted for : Nothing.

Much appreciation for the insightful commentary, G.A.

Incredibly well written and informative article. Thank you.

I agree with a lot of what G.A. has stated. In my opinion, our city still has no transparency in goverment. The tax payers deserve more! I sick of people choosing sides and attacking each other like children and not attacking the issues at hand. This city will never improve if this continues.
It's far worst then a soap opera!
Put your energy to work for a common goal....

Im not so sure I believe the Jim & Webster agreeing on 2010, is there any proof of this?

How in the world could Webster win any election!

If Ireton fires this bum, I think the public support for the Mayor at the Council meeting would be incredible. They would have to move the meeting to SU in order to hold all the people there to support the Mayor. The three stooges would wilt under the pressure and fear.

Good stuff Mr. Harrison. Barrie doesn't give up easily and the only way to get rid of her is to get rid of Webster. Until then, Ireton will continue being harrassed. Please do your job Jim and attempt to terminate the chief today.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!

The pi$$er of all this is, if you read the letters Campbell and Cohen wrote, they talked real issues. They tried to do it through proper channels.

But noooooooo.

3:51, don't throw all the players in one basket. The Daily Times feeds this "us vs. them" crap, even when it doesn't exist they stir it up.

Webster, Mayor, answer the question about Onley Road. I don't live in that area, but what is it with the limp enforcement? My cousin lives in a town much more "college town" than Salisbury, and they don't have to put up with a tenth that Salisbury does.

I can't imagine Webster being an officer. He is nothing more than a puppet. He is suppose to be a leader , NOT. I wonder if he knows how to use the gun on his hip? NOT!

I hope that Donna Ennis' charge against Taylor sticks. It could be an end to his gov't provided housing. It'll be interesting to see who ponies up for a lawyer for him. Tilghman? Webster? The city attorney's firm? The public defender?

Kudos to Ms Ennis. I knew that fat f--- would get his up the road. My hat is still off to her for peeping Shanie's hold card.

I have always had a great deal of respect for Donna, but this deepens it. I only hope she prevails and the disgusting pig is put in his place. He lost his ridiculous ethics violation case against Campbell and Cohen, and now he has to find others to bully. Remember JT, what goes around comes around, and the good Lord WILL pay you back in spades.

Anonymous said...

300 lbs my ass. Try 400 plus pounds for that tub of lard. Fire Webster as soon as possible, we can't wait till 2010. How many more lives must be lost in this city? I know Jim doesn't want to come in like Barrie did, but he needs to rid this city of Barrie's hand picked idiots.

Way to go Donna!

Jim Ireton please do your Job. If you fulfilled your campaign promises you would get a lot more respect from your constituents. GA is correct, FIRE the bastards and worry about the next move when it happens. PLEASE!!!

G.A. you're the man!!

Donna, hats off to you!!

Jim, fire Webster!!

Anonymous said...

Bit harsh on Ireton, but yes, he should have dropped the hammer on this idiot and made an example of him.

Also disagree that Comegys will be the first to sell Chief Webster out. Louweasel will be the first. Or more likely Shanie, then Louweasel.

Comegys isn't totally stupid, but he is rock-headed. He'll hold out on something. Shanie has bucked the norm and gone with Campbell and Cohen, then Louweasel jumped right on to leave Gary in the dust.

He would then proclaim his political courage in a 4 to 1 vote, even as he damned Debbie Campbell as obstructionist or contrary for being the loner in a 4 to 1 vote.

The Daily Times keeps trying to put the blame on Debbie Campbell and Terry Cohen. The public, with a few exceptions, figured out long ago what b.s. that is.

300 lbs?. No way! 400+ is more accurate.

webster has ripped apart brotherhood and torn down moral at that pd. There will be so much relief when he goes. The officers will be able to do their work better when hes gone. Its a shame that like 10 good officers have left this year bc of this wanker.
