A Letter To The Editor

TIM SPIES STANDS UP FOR SALISBURY RESIDENTS!

Kudos to Mr. Spies for his request at last night’s meeting of Salisbury’s City Council that the work session scheduled for Thursday, January 27, should be held somewhere other than in the Council’s small meeting room in the Government Office Building. The agenda for that meeting includes the Mayor’s “safe streets” legislative package, which is important and of great interest to both landlords and SAPOA as well as many City residents (homeowners and tenants). That meeting room, which can only accommodate about 18-20 persons in the audience, is not the appropriate place for that meeting. It should be held in the Council Chambers or in the meeting room at the new fire station.

It seems that Louise Smith has done everything possible to make it difficult or impossible for City residents to attend the meeting, including setting the meeting for the early afternoon.

Mr. Spies was the only candidate for City Council who spoke up for the residents. Why, you may wonder, didn’t Messrs. Boda and Dryden join in his request – are they SAPOA supported bobble heads cast from the same mold as Dunn, Cathcart, Comegys and Louweasel. It appears so.
