"Tilghman said she does not anticipate any disciplinary action for the council members."In today's Daily Times article the Mayor was quoted as making the above statement, surely in an attempt to make the Council Members look as if she was doing them a favor. The fact of the matter is, there's no documentation anywhere stating anything was confidential. More importantly, if there's litigation, there's litigation, period! When she stated it was then a verbal thing by Wilber, he refused to concur with the Mayor.
Why would the Mayor want to hold this information back from the public? The answer is pretty clear, she wanted to keep it from the VOTERS in the upcoming Mayoral Election. The Tilghman Administration is well recognized for pulling all sorts of tricks like this in the past. The Council Members work for the Taxpayers, not the Mayor. If Council Members feel this kind of information is important to the public, I feel it is their duty to bring it to light. I guess the timing wasn't very good for Mr. I'm Instrumental In The WWTP Comegys.
Mayor Barrie Tilghman's reputation, (worth $9,999.00) was severely damaged yesterday by only ONE Blogger, NOT "several" and that Blogger was admittedly, ME! What GA Harrison didn't say in his earlier Post was how Barrie Tilghman actually thought she had one up on the Press yesterday, looked right at GA and then stuck out her tongue out at him. My Grandson was explaining to his Grandmother when we got home how the Mayor was sticking out her tongue and that's not nice.
That didn't bother GA one bit as he immediately started telling the Mayor how it was on another website before I produced the information as well as it being exposed on the Bill Reddish Show almost 2 hours earlier. Mayor Tilghman's face got as red as a fire truck and she shut her mouth fast! She then headed for the door with Wilber running a close second.
Let me give you an example of how a business owner would look at this. OK, here we have thousands of stock holders, (you the taxpayers) who hold ALL the value of the company. You HIRE or VOTE in 5 Officers who are supposed to be the best qualified people you can find to run the day to day business of YOUR City/Business. Now, a VERY serious situation, $84,000,000.00 worth of YOUR investment goes bad, what do YOU expect to happen?
Do you expect the 5 Board Members to HIDE it from YOU? I mean, after all, YOU'RE the ones who could possibly be getting sued! Let's say these Board Members were just days away from an election and ONE of your Board Members will be running for the CEO/President/Mayor position to lead these 5 Board Members, saying he's more qualified than ANY of those 5 Board Members. He has the inside scoop on something gone very bad and rather than HIM going to the shareholders of the company, (YOU) he agrees to keep it quiet with the others because he desperately and they desperately want to get hired in as the new CEO/President.
Gary Comegys could have been the one to come forward with this information and proved to ALL OF YOU that there's going to be a whole new kind of leadership in the City of Salisbury and he's NOT going to put up with this crap any more. But that didn't happen, did it. Instead, because someone leaked this information, the current Mayor/CEO/President of the company isn't going to take any disciplinary action against them. They did nothing wrong. They informed all of the share holders there was something very wrong with their company and because the Mayor, Comegys, Smith & Shields desperately wanted to keep this information from you, YOU should FIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY!
The disciplinary action should be YOU taking these people down by NOT voting for them. Imagine just how many other things that have happened you and I weren't aware of. Look back at the Consultants letter again where he clearly states they have been plagued with problems since the very beginning of the project. IS THAT SO! What were those problems? Did any of YOU stock holders know about all of these other problems?
This is your City. Every time you pay a tax bill, YOU are reinvesting back into that company. How's it working for you Folks? It's time you get a new Board of Directors and keep the one that has been honest all along. You want those members that would be willing to take risks to let YOU know what's going on in YOUR company. Each and every City of Salisbury Taxpayer/Voter needs to get out to the polls on the 7th and vote for Jim Ireton, Debbie Campbell and Cynthia Polk.
I personally think this is the very end of Gary Comegys for Mayor. For once YOU have total control. Use your power through your votes and make the right decision. Get Jim, Debbie & Cynthia in to replace the people that were trying to HIDE vital information from you. Lord knows what these people are going to have to face once there's a leadership change but better now than later, that's for sure.
