Men's Club Parking Only; Black Females Need Not Apply


As we mentioned in an earlier article, the interim City Administrator not only has a City take home vehicle, he has a newly assigned parking space right next to the Mayor now. No other Administrator or Assistant Administrator had been afforded such a luxury in the past. I think the "One Way" sign has more meaning than most think.

Omg and LOL only you could expose this Joe! I cannot believe they are allowed to get away with this. It is incredible and mind blowing that an elected official act in this manner. He really thinks he is above the law! What a disgrace to Salisbury.

things change - with all the corruption in politics this is hardly worth my time - of course this is my opinion - that I am entitled to - I cling to my opinion for only God knows how much longer the government will allow me the privilege of one

Hey dumb, dumb or Troll or what ever the heck you are I don't think anyone ever mentioned anything being "against the law."

Let me put this to you slowly: a b o v e t h e l a w.

There is a big difference there Mr. Cook.

Interesting how John Pick had to park way down near Baptist Street and Lore had to park way across Rt. 50 and walk in the rain. I guess the 2 homos don't want to get their mousse wet. Kind of reminds me of Rehoboth Beaches "There's Something about Mary." I guess you could say There's Something About Tommy Boi.

Under Maryland law we all work voluntarily/at will and can be let go for any reason. It doesn't mean you can treat people like crap. This is a human resource nightmare, a loose cannon like Ireton!

As it should be.

Is Tom Stevenson even qualified to be a city administrator? Can someone show his qualifications? Now wonder there wasn't a job announcement because they would have had to post qualifications.

9:01 might be on to something...what a concept!

Tom Stevenson might be considered a nice guy to some, but I have never seen "nice guy" as being a qualification.

9:01 & 9:42-If that is the case then it only proves that ireton is not only dangerously unstable but grossly incompetent. You do not fire someone for not doing their job then recommend them for a top city position. End of Story!

Unquestionable integrity and professionalism is not something that I would associate with the current interim administrator, the Mayor, Day, Shields, or Mitchell. You need look no further than the public record.

I worked several jobs. Where you mess up you move up. State and Federal Government still practice this rule. You hand off your dead beat and receive someone else's dead beat. Makes you think your getting some where.

The profile of City Administrator doesn't fit Tom Stephenson who hates women and never accomplishes anything on his own just takes credit for those things he doesn't do. Susan Phillips earned his job years ago and is the one who actually has done the work and deserves her new position. Congrats Susan Phillips.

Another case of Black entitlement mentality.

I used to work for Tom Stevenson. He is about as racist as they come.

It's appropriate the city administrator park next to the mayor, after all, he can't think for himself, he has to be told everything to say and do, so he needs to park next to the mayor, so the mayor can hold his hand and walk him across the street.
These two are sick/

Holding membership in several clubs, and holding offices in said clubs does not make for the qualifications of city administrator. Just what Salisbury needs two wackos in executive positions. Liar and liar in chief.

This is definitely not the case for the City of Salisbury.

By the way does Tom Stevenson have a Bachelor's Degree or preferably a Masters Degree?

Tom Stevenson is nothing but arm candy for Jim Liarton and a homewrecker for the chief of the Fruitland Police Department.
