City Council President Terry Cohen , Vice President Debbie Campbell and Councilman Tim Spies need to tender their resignation immediately. This latest stunt of yours regarding Walmart is the last straw for residents of this City. You can play your little games all you want and send your press releases out trying to make yourselves look like the innocent parties but anyone that sees your vindictiveness either first hand like myself or through the media knows it was all to make Muir Boda jump through hoops to get this simple MOU accepted. You did not require the same treatment of the Centre at Salisbury which was done the exact same way with no clarification. You want to run a circus and be the fitting clowns that you are keep it up, the citizen are watching this crap you are pulling and are embarrassed. Let me assure you three I will use every opportunity I have with my website to focus the attention on every on of these spiteful moves you make and will rally the public to do something about your occupation of our City if you do not resign at the next election and in the future. Tim Spies should hide his face in shame over his home and having to go to court because he can't abide my a simple request to make repairs. I have had my differences with Jim Ireton in the past but he has finally seen what you are about which is being a negative force in this community.
Resign Now
Jonathan Taylor
I have never seen Jonathan Taylor. Is that him pictured in the photo and if so, how the hell did he fit through the door of the building or is he trying to communicate with people from outside!?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you pay any attention to this nitwit? He is a delusional fool, a legend in his own mind. Please, just ignore him.
ReplyDeleteHow about this Jonathan. When YOU pay taxes in this country maybe you will have some say in what goes on. Go collect your welfare and STFU.
ReplyDeleteWhen Joe was trying to help Ireton get elected Jonathan couldn't post enough nasty stuff about Ireton. All of a sudden Jonathan has changed his mind? Anyone else find that odd. If Joe is for something, what ever it is, JT is against it and vise versa.
Yes, he is a legend in his own mind. The way he "campaigned" for Joel Todd sealed Todd's fate. The lies, hate and filth that flowed from his blog concerning Beau Oglesby was uncalled for! I was a Todd supporter but was totally disgusted that Todd didn't take Taylor to task. The sickening way Taylor acted put me in complete turmoil as to who to vote for and it wasn't until I got into the booth that I knew I couldn't vote for someone who would condone the behaviour of this gross (and I'm not talking about weight) individual named Jonathan Taylor and Oglesby got my vote.
ReplyDeleteOthers have told me similar reasons why they refused to vote for Todd and said they went out of their way to avoid his poll workers as the vile commments were probably coming from them.
Jonathan hasn't a brain to think things through on his own, 11:17.
ReplyDeleteFor him it's all about the opposite of what Joe thinks.
It's all been said above nobody in their right mind should listen to Mr Taylor and we don't.
ReplyDeleteIreton has done a complete reversal--makes you wonder if somebody has some dirt on him he doesn't want made public.
ReplyDeleteI demand he go on a diet with his wife. Makes you wonder what his health care is costing us too.
ReplyDelete11:59, you beat me to it! LOL Cross country teams can run laps around him for practice and become thoroughly exhausted.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most disgusting man I have ever seen. His body odor is like a 90 year old man who rarely ever takes a bath. His personal attacks against innocent people is what makes me think horrible thoughts about this overweight scum.
ReplyDeleteMr. Taylor: You were not at the Wensday night Council mtg. You have no firsthand knowlege of the subject you are writing about. I was at the mtg. Mr.Boda had called the Police Dept requesting Salisbury Police provide extra security during "Black Friday". Mr.Boda did not provide documentation of approval for services from the corporate headquarters of Walmart. Council did not recieve a copy of the agreement they were asked to approve.
ReplyDeleteJT needs to learn how to spell. He also needs to stop living off us taxpayers and get a real job. JT I feel nothing for you and your wif but pitty.
ReplyDeleteMaybe JT's man love has changed to where it belongs, Ireton.
ReplyDeleteSo there you go, thanks for the info 12:37. More proof that Taylor speaks before he knows the specifics of a subject.
ReplyDeleteI think he got these "friends" that feed him bits and pieces and omit certain facts and Taylor jumps on it like it's Gospel and posts it. It's the "friends" way of spreading lies and what they want the public only to know. They found a pawn in Taylor knowing he's too damm dumb to see they are using him.
Let's get this straight,three elected officials need to resign because this guy disagrees with them.It's one thing to be thought of as a fool,but he has opened his mouth and eliminated all doubt.Does anyone take this guy seriously?
ReplyDeleteoNE OR TWO WORDS FOR THIS MAN..ewwwwwwwww, stinky
ReplyDeleteYep, the voice of Section 8 housing really carries a lot of weight!
ReplyDeleteOops, no pun intended!
There was no "stunt" involving Wal-mart or Muir Boda. If cops want to work off-duty for retailers, they can -- but not in uniform, unless there's a special agreement.
ReplyDeleteMy brother-in-law does this (not here, too sane to live in Salisbury).
Why should Wal-mart or Muir Boda get special treatment over the Salisbury Center? Nothing against Mr. Boda and I have never heard anyone on council talk nasty about him. The one candidate's forum I went to, Ms. Cohen, Mr. Spies and Mr. Boda all seemed very genuinely nice with each other.
Bota's tie to Taylor cost him votes also, yet he doesn't really get I think.
ReplyDeleteI remember when Jonathan Taylor was allow every "fag" and "homo" comment on his blog about Jim Ireton during the election. Now he is taking sides with Ireton because Barrie Tilghman is in control. JT is just as weak as Jim Ireton is.
ReplyDeleteTaylors a moron! He was all over Oglesby saying he once defended drug dealers. Well boy oh boy now his buddy Farlow's defending Honiss Cane.
ReplyDeleteI used to think Taylor was a hypocrite but I'm now leaning towards him being just a total dumbass incapable of a thought process that's reasonable. No one with an ounce of intelligence "flip flops" like he does.
Hold your breath until they do resign...nite nite
ReplyDelete12:42, don't tell someone to learn to spell if you can't even spell the word "pity." That's PITIful! And it's "wife," not "wif." Maybe that was a typo, but weren't you taught to proofread way back in school?
ReplyDeleteOh I sure Debbie, Terry and Tim are right at this moment busy writing their letters of resignation just because Taylor thinks they need to go! HaHaHa. Everyone I know, myself included thinks he is a jerk and that's putting it mildly.
ReplyDeleteI even asked one local politician who Taylor endorsed why he would associate w/Taylor and the politician told me and I quote "don't hold that agaisnt me! I never even met the guy and haven't a clue why he latched on to me, but I ain't thrilled about it that's for sure."
I have a question that a bit off topic-did the recent majority vote to change the charter that's caused the petition drive a direct result of the Gillis/fire station acquisition?
ReplyDelete5:33, why would you think the charter change has any relation to the old firehouse? Seemed like a pretty straight forward change for legal access and better law writing to me. Ireton followed in Barrie's abusive footsteps on that one, too, it seems.
ReplyDeleteSuch a little head/brain for such a whale of a body.
ReplyDelete3:07 PM
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to it.
I think this after reading Gillis' DT's letter to the editor 9:48.
ReplyDeleteCorrect me if I am wrong but the short version is that Gillis was interested in purchasing property deemed surplus by the city. Council okayed the request. From that point on contract negotiations were then between city attorney and Gillis. During negotiations the land which had not been deemed surplus was added to the purchase contract, which under old charter this additon was info only the mayor had privy to? Under the old charter the city attorney had no duty to inform the council of the new parcel added to the purchase contract?
Again after reading the Gillis letter I came away with the impression that maybe this behind the scenes deal was the last straw for the majority council members.
Also if this is the case then I believe the majority was 100% correct in changing the charter. If they believe something "shady" is going on it is their duty to "fix" it.
The land parcels and the road bed were in the original request for proposals. Sorry, no secret land deals. Seek the truth more carefully
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the Gillis letter and having to reread it a few times, one can come to the conclusion that an attempt was made to try and pull a fast one on the city tax payers, so to speak. I wonder who wrote the letter? If the purpose and intent was to present the Gillis in a favorable light it backfired.
ReplyDeleteSo where does this leave Laura Mitchell and her petition?
Either she is a clueless pawn or condones sleazy back room politics.
A question for 9:29-Who authored the original requests for proposals and were copies made available to the entire council?
ReplyDeleteOkay 10:24. a request for proposals is a public document availiable on the City web site, advertised in the media, and availiable in the procurement department. It was distributed to the public as well as the Council.There is no one including the councit that the documents were NOT availiable to. Kinda blows your conspiracy theory
ReplyDeleteand isn't an RFP a packet that is filled out by the purchaser? Were the additional parcels something that was added by the purchaser?
ReplyDeleteJust trying to seek out the truth here. That shouldn't be a problem should it?
It's not the blank RFP that's in question it the completed one filled out by the purchaser.
The parcels the city couldn't sell along the river were in the RFP but weren't supposed to be. That was a humdinger of a meeting. Campbell and Cohen and members of the public questioned it, but the majority then of Smith Commegys and Sheilds rammed it through. Gillis was on council before. He had to know that property couldn't be in there. Guess you can't blame him for trying. Still, sounds like he dragged his feet and didn't have a solid deal. Just sounds like everyone screwed up on this one and the council did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteAn RFP, Request for proposals is published by the entity that is seeking a proposal from someone else. This type of form is used often. In this specific case the RFP was a lenghty document published by the City of Salisbury seeking proposals on what to do with the Fire house. All documents availiable to the public, including the COuncil. It included the road bed and the land parcels. In this RFP the weighted value(price) was only 5% of the proposal evaluation. This was the awarded proposal passed by the City Council, including Debbie who voted to accept
ReplyDeleteThe way I see it Gillis maybe firgured out they needed the extra parcels to see out their vision of what the station was to become.
ReplyDeleteThe problem lies with the process. Only the station was deemed surplus and was eligible to be sold in the plan. It's a lengthy process which is spelled out in the city code. To sell the other parcels and not following the proper process is where it becomes wrong. Wouldn't it be unethical for any council member to vote in favor of something that wasn't done within the confines of city law?
