Mayor James Ireton, Jr., made a statement Wednesday afternoon regarding recently filed litigation against the City of Salisbury.
Mayor Ireton stated, “The City of Salisbury Charter and Employee Handbook clearly states the grievance process, and that process applies to all city employees, including Allan Webster. This lawsuit is a distraction from solving the serious problem of crime that we have in Salisbury and is an attempt to subvert our City Charter. It is a distraction to our citizens and our police officers on the street.
That being said, I will direct City Attorney Paul Wilbur to move to dismiss this frivolous lawsuit immediately. While Part One crimes are up 11% so far this year, it is farfetched to believe it is possible to serve and protect the same citizens you are suing.
All City of Salisbury employees and department heads follow the rules laid out for them in the City Charter and Employee handbook; they agree to these rules and regulations while employed. It is unacceptable and unlawful for one employee to decide to write the rules over in order to suit one’s self.”

FINALLY!!!! at least some thought of proceeding in the right direction!
ReplyDeleteNow suspend that POS without pay and start proceedings to rid us of this life size anal wart!
I commend Jim for taking the high road. Playing by the rules. A lot of people wanted him to just fire Webster the first day in office. Jim is taking it slow, letting Webster hang himself. Stand tall Mayor Ireton, Webster is a do nothing bully. Just be careful when you get a replacement. The city needs an inovative, proactive leader to once again make Salisbury a safe place to live. I moved to Salisbury twenty years ago, raised my family here. Now I don't let my wife shop in the city alone after dark. I now keep a loaded gun in the house at all times. Jim, hang in there, get it done, get it done right.

All this crap should be enough to terminate him for violation of his hiring contract.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time! Good start Jim, now clean house by ridding the 3rd floor of that man. Stay strong, don't let him get to you.
ReplyDeleteIronically my word verification is: clean
I take back every bad thing that I have said and thought about our new Mayor! It's a new day in Salisbury! WooHoo!
ReplyDelete"Part One" is police jargon. Speak English!
ReplyDeleteO M G, Jim is beginning to sound like you Joe - "that being said". Do you write his speeches?
ReplyDeleteJust wait until the outcome of this. Can we have a going away party when he is fired? That would be great. I'll chip in an admission fee.
ReplyDeleteMy way is still quicker.
