Wicomico County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr. has concluded a "windshield" tour of the county and has declared that the State of Emergency is lifted as of 11AM today. Pollitt issued the Declaration of Emergency on Friday at 730AM in anticipation of the arrival of Hurricane Irene. Pollitt said that he was informed that Mayor Ireton would take the same action at the same time in the City of Salisbury.
Before lifting the Order, Pollitt sought the opinion of the Directors of Emergency Services and Public Works, the Wicomico County Sheriff and area fire companies.
Pollitt said that there are about 300 evacuees still at the Wicomico County Youth & Civic Center. They will be served lunch. The shelter will close at 2PM.
Pollitt urged caution as he observed many downed trees and debris.
Publishers Note: Well, who gives a crap what the Mayor has to say now anyway.
has the driving ban been lifted??
ReplyDeleteShoot its time to ice down the chillys and fire up that barby.
ReplyDeleteWhy are we serving them lunch? People can ride around town at 11:00 am. Can't they go home and fix lunch? Are tax dollars paying for a free lunch? This isn't a homeless shelter.
ReplyDeleteGood grief, 11:30, get a grip!
ReplyDelete11:30 is absolutely correct. pollitt probably needed something to eat. He's on a diet, eat everything he can put his puffy hands on and put in his mouth.
