Mayor Ireton, YOU Are Out Of Control!!!!!!!!

TO: Mrs. Adams, President, Salisbury Area Property Owners Association FROM: Mayor James Ireton, Jr. RE: Third Friday Encounter with Mr. Adams DATE: November 22, 2010 On Friday, November 19, 2010, which is Salisbury’s Third Friday celebration I had an unfortunate incident involving your husband. Though your husband is entitled to his opinion regarding the relationship that you, as SAPOA’s president, have with the City of Salisbury, I encourage you to suggest to him that it was very clear to witnesses that he was very aggressive and threatening in his approach. I attempted to calm him and suggested that the Third Friday celebration was neither the time nor place for the discussion, but to no avail. Eventually his yelling became unintelligible, yet he did manage to say something about wanting to defend the honor of yourself, and Council President Louise Smith. I, still, am unclear about what he meant.

In the end though, I would appreciate that your family members only contact me on a professional basis and in writing. I have always had pleasant encounters with your daughter and I hope that continues.

The battle for the integrity of Salisbury’s neighborhoods is a policy and political struggle. What your husband did at Third Friday was make it personal. Salisbury deserves better than this. Please extend to Mr. Adams, my clear determination that the incident not happen again without my reporting it to the proper authorities. With your understanding of this, I consider the matter over, done and behind us.

With kind regards,

James Ireton, Jr.

Mayor, City of Salisbury

NOW, the idea that Mayor Ireton is trying to come off innocent here has pissed me off more than ANYTHING I have seen in many years. At the Mayor's Round Table Meeting last week the Mayor went on a verbal attack against Mrs. Adams that was so brutal, I'm amazed Mrs. Adams did not file charges against Mayor Ireton. Mayor Ireton has verbally attacked Louise Smith as well as other FEMALE Council Women.

Mr. Adams simply told the Mayor, PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE, BULLY. Clearly, just because Ireton is Mayor, he thinks he can do whatever he likes, especially to WOMEN.

Mrs. Adams, file those charges against Mayor Ireton. You have plenty of witnesses, (including a Police Officer) and your charges will stick.

Mayor Ireton, cut the crap! No one is buying your innocence here and Mr. Adams was simply defending his Wife. Maybe one day when YOU get married you'll know how to do so.
