  4. Really??? Ireton wouldn't DARE walk down Church St at midnight. Hell, Church St ain't even safe IN THE DAYTIME. Safe streets? Safe for who? The police? Home invasions, murders, armed robberies, assaults, arson --- thats the short list. Another example of government BS, patting each other on the back and giving each other awards (that no one else would give them).

  5. Duncan and Barkley are the BEST top command this city has seen in years.

    Once again tho', good old "look at meeeee" Ireton says nothing about the fact that Terry Cohen is the reason Safe Streets got here in the first place. Unlike Ireton, she always thanks others for it and doesn't take more credit than she deserves.

    You can thank her for Thrift Travel Inn getting demolished WITHOUT taxpayer money. Ireton kicked her to the curb for that, too.

    The list of things he owes thanks to Debbie Campbell on would fill a book.

  6. Look at that list. Instead shooting the sob the first time. We have to pay all these people

  7. Meanwhile a devious homeowner trying to fix up his old "historic" home is apprehended in broad daylight, with police support & overtime for public works & is penalized heavily for home repair work which cannot continue because the house is so old... Hogwash! The house had previously been the blight of the neighborhood...since forever.
    Way to go city of salisbury. It's nice to know how important the historic society is. They evidently are more important than crime in the streets. You know, sometimes a property is NOT historically significant regardless of age. Washington didn't sleep there. He knew better.
    Thank you debbie!

  9. Maybe Ireton will ask the GOV about some funds to get some police cars, before the officers have to petal the cars like Fred Flintstone did his car, through the floor board.

  10. No mention of the volunteers who served on the Mayor's Crime Task Force and formulated the basis of the action plan. Poor form, Jim.
