A Comment Worthy Of A Post 11-22-11-A

This morning I watched WMDT and it is clear what the long-range plan is- dissolve the city and have the county take it over. No thanks.Palmer Gillis was whining about the council and the Feldman's building this morning and Jim has hustled right out to add his two cents. Reality - the city doesn't own Feldman's. The city seems to want to TAKE the building from its rightful owner and then Palemr wants it and Jim wants to help him????? Palmer wants the city to be dissolved into the county. He doesn't even live here.Jim is helping by doing everything he can to slow the council down and use the press to fan the flames (with Laura and Shanie in tow). Jim is out of control with his melt downs. I saw it for myself yesterday. Then, you have Barrie Tilghman, Mike Dunn, Louise Smith, Laura Mitchell, Shanie Shields, Palmer GIllis, and a whole host of political has beens with an agenda of "crushing" teaming up with Jim and circulating the petition. That's their right, even though they misrepresented the purpose of the change to many signers. Then, they fell short on the signatures and made city staff come in on the weekend to "receive" it anyway so that they can - you guessed it - have another press op. A little abuse of power? Now they still want to take it to referrendum and continue to call the press for more - yes, press ops. Oh, a new one was dropped yesterday. Since the fireworks will be at SU on July 4th, the Only Batemen road improvements will have to work around that. I guess that will somehow be the council's fault too.This is a scheme by a well known cast of characters to create chaos to make the citizens feel so frustrated and hopeless that they will disband the city. We have good representatives in Terry, Debbie and TIm. I will continue to support them.

I too, fully support the efforts of Cohen, Campbell and Spies. Fight the good fight, council majority!

I too hope that the county takes over the city but adds the above three city members to the county council. This is very successful in other parts of the country and has cut goverment cost.

It's beginning to look like the reason Gillis dragged their feet with their plan to the council was so they could hear the outcome of the court case against Feldmans. Thank God, Debbie, Terry, and Tim can see the forest through the trees!

Maybe, 11:39. From the DT story recently, it sounds like anything to do with that building has been kept from the council.

Maybe the plan is for the mayor to force the demolition of the building, put liens on it, take it and sell it for a song to Gillis.

Maybe, maybe, maybe. But it sounds like something Barrie Ireton would do.

Sounds like it's more than time for Ireton to shut up and let the council get some work done.

My oh my! A few of you are evidently so very easily led. Better do some more homework before supporting this council majority. Can't believe you're so easily led. Bet you're liberals!! Be sure and hug a tree good night!!!

6:14, LOL, nice try.

What's at stake is David vs. Goliath. While the Davids may have the council majority, the Goliaths have the money, the media and the manpower.

More Davids better step up or you'll see the good people you put up stomped out of existence. You can do it. Last election proved that.

Why do both sides think everything is a scheme? There are plenty of good folks on both sides who really do care about the city. Does it really make a person bad when opinions differ. The biggest problems arise from the anonymous comments who don't know what they spew about using rumors and he said/she said as their bases for facts.

Same old people on both sides with the same old ideas and the same old grudges.
Sorry folks. Salisbury's done until new people are in charge.
