A Letter To The Editor 6-2-12

JIM IRETON IS AN EMBARRASSING ACCIDENT

Unless you have been in a coma or under a rock you probably have heard the lament, mixed with whining, by Jim Ireton in the Daily Times about the prudent decisions by the Salisbury City Council on his recent budget proposals. He wants to spend City funds for a fireworks display that is already fully funded, and we already have plenty of fireworks at Perdue Stadium so don’t need more. City residents should thank the Council majority who said no to his and Mikey Dunn's big bang theory. Ireton's public criticism of them for that decision is disgraceful.

And his conduct regarding the City's next annual budget is atrocious. First, he proposed another tax increase for such things as another big pay raise for Lore Chambers of his office. Then, when the Council comes up with adjustments to his revenue estimates and spending cuts - so that higher taxes are not needed - he refused to discuss details with them. When asked to do so, he bashed his staff then stalked out and proceeded to trash the Council in the Daily Times.

Now the "newspaper" is hyping his "vow" to veto the budget passed by the Council to show that he doesn't support it (as if we didn't know).

Ireton got elected due to the "hope and change" dynamic that a few months earlier gave us Obama as President, who Ireton and Laura Mitchell will be supporting as delegates at the Democrat convention. Let's make sure that all of them are "one-termers."

Haven't heard much but a vague misleading description of the police murder in Pocomoke on the MSM.

Wboc is deliberately involved in burying this story of murder by cop.

And what are Lore Chambers' credentials to merit another raise?

Jim Ireton skated through the election on the coattails of Debbie Campbell and then ferociously attacked her. Jim Ireton you might think the voters will forget that, but guess what babe, your political career is TOAST!!

Here is a comment from Michael Swartz's blog to Louis Smith about the fire works and Salisbury's partication. It was dated June 29, 2007 and it makes perfectly good sense. Although it was 5 years ago I feel it still stands today. Kudo's to everyone mentioned.

"I’ll give John Robinson credit for stating the obvious – if you really want a fireworks show, the Shorebirds are providing 19 of them this season, including one July 3rd. If it has to be on the Fourth one can go to Ocean City and catch two simultaneous shows, or down to Crisfield to see fireworks. Joe also pointed out Hebron is doing a show that night as part of their carnival. I guess it’s the attitude some feel (not necessarily Albero, Shorebirds GM Chris Bitters, et. al.) that a governmental entity needs to step in and save the day that bothers me."

Look at the ridiculous editorial the Daily Times came up with today. You were right, Joe, there is something afoot about a "rescue" and the Daily Times may well be behind it. After all, they were the Tilghman Times with Mike Dunn on the editorial board until he quit to run for council. What Dream Team will they assault Salisbury with next?

She has no credentials and she is in an unneeded position.

BTW where can we find the information showing where Ireton is trying to give her another raise?

Louise Smith, Jim Ireton and Laura Mitchell all get elected by pretending to share the same fiscally conservative ideology as Debbie Campbell and Terry Cohen. Typical lying liberal Democrat tax and spenders lie cheat and steal to get elected. Pathetic immoral liars.

11:17 AM you are correct in what you are saying however Louweasel was a registered Republican. She is so much of a left wingnut that she can't even be considered a RINO!!

Debbie Campbell should change party affiliations. I don't think you will ever See Terry switch Parties, but for the most part she is one of the better Democrats.
