It's always nice when I get the opportunity to meet some really great Salisbury residents and talk about Salisbury's future.

Put a sign out"Chat with Joe" but you may need more chairs.
Joe, I had a great time stopping in today to pick up some replacement bumper stickers for ones that had gotten sun- faded, and sitting down to discuss the issues of the day. There were other folks there as well. Loved your yesterday post on movie titles/ sex life! Best post all day! Nice to know I can stop in any time for stuff. Hey, does Ireton have an office that I can come see him anytime of day to discuss the issues of the day?
Joe you should do a story of the grant for more free money for the Salisbury Fire Department. Do you know if the city council is going to accept it?
SALISBURY: Feds provide grants for 12 new firefighters
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Barbara A. Mikulski and Ben Cardin (both D-Md.) today announced the City of Salisbury’s Fire Department was awarded grants through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Staffing for Adequate Fire & Emergency Response grant program to hire 12 firefighters.
Salisbury has been awarded $1,038,912 in federal funds. The Salisbury Fire Department will use the grant funds to hire 12 firefighters necessary to protect residents and maintain a full staff. Due to the economic downturn, this has not been possible in two out of the three Salisbury stations in four years.
“I know how important this funding is to Maryland communities – often it’s the difference between life and death. First responders protect our homes and communities, and the federal government has a responsibility to protect them by providing them with the tools they need to do their jobs safer and smarter,” Mikulski said. “Every day when our first responders report for duty, they don’t know what they will face. That’s why I fight every year for the staffing, equipment and training our protectors and communities deserve.”
“Now more than ever, we need to make sure that we have the first responders in place that are needed to protect our families and communities,” Senator Cardin said. “From fires to natural disasters to possible terrorist threats, communities cannot shoulder this burden alone. It is important that we provide the federal investment that is needed so communities can hire the first responders that are needed to protect us from harm.”
You truly are a man of the people.
anonymous 6:05, Every single day I get several visitors stopping by.
It's always a pleasure. I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts and visions and even more importantly I get to hear YOUR thoughts and opinions.
Keep coming by Ladies & Gentlemen.
"Hey, does Ireton have an office that I can come see him anytime of day to discuss the issues of the day?" Sure, the men's restroom with an inside lock.
People, these grants (aka free money) are only to fund an initial hire. After the 1st or 2nd year, Salisbury needs to come up with this addition $million. Where does anything think the City will get that money?
Joe, I ran into Terry Cohen a little while ago and she said she was coming back from some meeting that ended at 9. Does she ever sleep? During our talk, it came up that she is going to be on some radio show tomorrow 9 a.m., Delmarva Today maybe, that also gets shown on PAC14. I think the topic is downtown, but maybe this fire grant will come up?
I think that tv show is the one Jimmy Hoppa does on 16. Nit sure when it airs, maybe 4 ish in the afternoon? I've seen it before(gag).
Hey Joe, I was going to call you today and see if we can sit and chat. I have some ideas for the city as well that will benefit everyone not just a few.
Barb
