In anticipation of the third major winter storm in less than two weeks, Wicomico County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr. and Salisbury Mayor James Ireton have announced that all county and city offices, including the Health Department, will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Both officials said that county and city emergency and essential personnel will be reporting to work. Executive Pollitt and Mayor Ireton commented, “We are expecting yet another winter storm and the experts say that this one will consist of rain, sleet, freezing rain and a significant snowfall. We agree that it is in the best interests of public safety to close tomorrow.”
The Executive and the Mayor added, “In the past 11 days, our city and county have been hit hard by the harshest consecutive winter storms in recent memory. Our front-line county and city employee responders to these snow emergencies have spent many long and arduous hours exposed to unforgiving elements in a heroic effort to protect our citizens. We salute every man and woman who has fought and will continue to fight this good fight.”
Both leaders urge all citizens to remain at home until the next storm passes.
That explains why I saw 3 diff snowplows riding roads full of ice and slush 6" deep ruts with their plow UP! And no they werent spreading salt either! If they're riding burning fuel why the heck arent they plowing! I'd fire all you wasteful bastards!
ReplyDeleteWHERES the National Guard?
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke. A little bit of snow and the world comes to a screeching halt. Get your butts to work and suck it up. I'll bet these same employees will make it out to sled with their kids or joy ride. Waste the taxpayer dollars.
ReplyDeleteBut the Board of Ed central office is such an 'emergency' dept. that it is open despite schools, the County Gov't, the City, and the Health dept. being closed. You can't get your methadone fix, but if you need to speak to a pupil personnel worker, you're in luck!
ReplyDeleteDoes this include the District and Circuit Courts? I know they have both County and State employees.
ReplyDeleteomg I can't believe the city offices are closing this is only the second time this has ever happened.... they finally thought about there office workers. no place to park, travel accross Rt. 50 for what??? thanks mayor
ReplyDeleteI agree with the snow plow comment. How are those of us who are still working supposed to get to work? If you're driving down the road burning fuel (a.k.a. my tax money) then put the plow down and do your job.
