Once the Posts started going up and ultimately complete, then it was off to 300 W. Main Street to start this round of Candidate Interviews for the General Election. I ran into a bunch of candidates over the weekend and I have to admit, there was this point of feeling like, are these people going to come through this go around?
Well, once we got started the phones started ringing off the hook. I'll bet we booked 80% of the open slots we have dedicated to ALL of the candidates. Joe Ollinger flat out refuses to be interviewed. Sorry Folks but if Joe Ollinger is that afraid of Joe Albero and believes I'd deliver anything less than what we have proven to already deliver, he doesn't belong running as County Executive. That goes for ANY of the candidates who turns us down for an interview as well. Again, we have proven to be fair and balanced.
Anyone who follows Salisbury News knows we have not been afraid to be critical about Rick Pollitt. Rick has always been an honorable man and even after we have thrown punches, Rick has no problem whatsoever sitting down like a true professional and answering our questions head on. Apples vs. Oranges, I say.
We'll be better prepared for tomorrow Folks and I do apologize for the lack of Posts. We stayed on top of comments but we did drag on delivering more news, sorry. The interviews will be 16 to 20 minutes long and once you see the line of questions we have prepared for each candidate you'll appreciate why we feel so strongly about getting their messages out to you. Without a question, by the time you go to the polls, you'll be more informed about who you should vote for than you have ever been in the history of voting for local and state politicians.
Thanks for your patience today.

Joe, will you be doing another interview with Julie Brewington.
Ollinger is afraid he will "fly off the hammer" and show his temper. Oh well, we the people need to see his ugliness now before the election.
mmmmmm fire in the belly...I like that.
Joe, thanks for taking your time to interview the candidates so we can make an informed decision on election day. I know it takes a lot of time to do this and I, for one, appreciate it. I'll be watching!And, by the way, you do a great job of it, too.
