I would like to know peoples' thoughts on the little meeting down to the westside community center.

You should not have been shut down like that Joe. And you should have kept your cool man. You were in the right. She looked like a fool.

First of all, I was in awe that everyone came so well prepared and made their points so well. Everyone who spoke did a great job. I WAS thinking the woman griping about the kids playing b-ball in the street was a little trivial compared to our murders, but, Ma'm, you redeemed yourself with the "it could get worse" comment! A special thanks to you! It was made very clear by many that we have great officers who have no leadership.

Joe, sorry about you losing your First Amendment rights... when did that happen? You were SO clearly denied last night.

Is it true that you got kicked out?

The public was good with there comments , Smith the dictator was Wayyyyyyy out of line. Comegy and Shields were asleep as usual.
The meeting was good until Smith showed her a$$ again. How the hell did these 3 get elected?

All I can say is the President is out of touch with the citizens.
Public comments are the opinions of the citizens on issues facing them....good, bad or ugly.

Joe, she shut you down during your public comments and that is just wrong.

SSDD, you can really tell three of them did not care about what people are saying.

ITS like mr Davids wife said YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET.Those three cookies have lost all respect for the voters of SALISBURY. Joe I thought you were going to lose it after that display of disrespect by the WEASEL. Good job keeping your cool. You think any of the will read your blog today?

It is time for legal action, certain voters whose free speech have been denied have a responsibility to the citizens.

A class action lawsuit by the voters against the city council for negligence is in order.

Any residents who have been victms of crime or have been denied free speech should stand up.

I'm sorry but the Mayor needs to stop using his love canal for a seat and grow a sack.

I am disgusted by all on the council.

They acted like weak toadies. A voters rights have been trampled AGAIN and the rest of the council snickers.

I was happy to see just how many showed up and spoke up.

The man who's house was shot three times and took his book to show where the bullet landed was great. I remember his neighborhood when I was a teen, it was safe. Not now!

The woman who spoke for her parents did a great job. When she told them to start doing what they were elected to do or that they'd be replaced in the coming election...I cheered her on.

Joe, you did a great job. You kept your cook when your rights were taken away. During "Public Comments" the public is supposed to say whats on their minds. Did this change just because of who you are? I could hear the hate in her voice when she announced your name as being next to speak. I knew she'd pull something, which she didn't disappoint me. BTW, you looked nice also!

My absolute favorite moments were when the public applauded after certain people spoke. That let the council know they agreed with what was said.

Joe, she can't shut you up on your own show! I can't wait for Saturday.

(make sure you post something for Tuesday for those who didn't see this)

Was Ireton there? What about the Chiefy?

8:33, there was no snickering from Campbell or Cohen. They looked shocked and disturbed. If they had protested, Louweasel Hitler would have shut it all down for everyone.

Whatever happened to holding people accountable, Louweasel? Joe was talking job performance of people he pays as a taxpayer. Who the hell do you think you are, Louweasel? Talking bald heads is personnel. Takling lack of leadership is not.

Everyone show that Little Hitler the door on election day, if not before!

Is it not an ethics violation for that woman to violate your 1st Amendment rights at council meetings? This is the SECOND TIME in recent times this has happened. Someone needs to shut this woman down.

Teflon. Nothing sticks. They should be held accountable for the crime rate going up this much. They are ignoring the issues and not listening to the people who care. Joe, can you provide the process of getting ride of the city officials? Requirments for the chief of police? I heard that a retired MSP Trooper may be taking Websters spot. You hear anything like that?

Joe, Please give us all your insight. What can we do to make this stop? I'm sure you have researched the legal ramifications of the council's behavior. Can we do anything to get them out of office before the next election?

anonymous 11:57, you ask a great question.

The problem is the fact that the Citizens have yet to take their anger to the polls. Shanie should have lost her seat as well as Comegys.

Until every one of you come together and vote these people out of office, nothing will change.

I can expose it all but unless you do something about it, well, quite frankly I'll keep doing what I'm doing and eventually make a small fortune at it.

Keep up the good work Gary, Shanie, Louise, Lore & others.

joe, it was a shame she shut you down monday night. i knew she would. the "rules" for the meetings gave her the "right?" to do that. it was still mighty poor conduct on louise's part. citizens are entitled to speak their minds during public comments. obviously louise doesn't feel that you are entitled to that right. i'm hoping that sort of conduct will come home to her in the next election. it s a shame that we have to put up with the terrible three for two more years. thanks sjd
