The above image is an invitation I received around 8:00 PM last night. I found out I was not alone.
First of all, we need more time in advance to make such arrangements. Secondly, it makes no sense to me, (and others agree) why the Chamber would hold such an event during the day. That is, unless they want to re title it the "Eastern Shore Unemployed Business Forum".
Many people have jobs and cannot take off work for last minute events such as this. I would have personally enjoyed participating and even advertising it for others.
To be completely honest, I didn't even think of opening the e-mail until this morning because who would have ever thought that an e-mail like this would be set for early the next morning.
Now, that being said, was this on purpose, I'd have to think so. What we have seen lately are these type of meetings where the Chamber, the Mayor and others simply want cheer leaders present and not actual experienced business minded people who might change their path with great ideas.
The meeting with the U of M Downtown Master Plan comes to mind as well.
I strongly suggest the Chamber get their act together. After all, aren't you supposed to be setting an example to help the community. Or is this all about making sure only the people you want being there attend?

They want people there who will only complain about "not enough hours" or "minimum wage is blah blah blah" (Annie comes to mind). They don't want the real business minded people there to tell them how their policies FAIL every single time.
They only want there who they want and that does not include any business minded people. There is just soooooooooooooooo much to hate about Slimesbury.
You hit the nail on the head! The Chamber, the Mayor, the Daily Times do NOT want different viewpoints. Salisbury has become one of the unhealthiest places to live idea-wise. "My way or the highway" is all you ever get.
That is why many people are now saying, "Okay, highway," and going to live where differing ideas can freely be exchanged and the result is based on more than one point of view.

Oh, NOW they should get out and vote?
It seems to me a certain someone warned these fine citizens of Salisbury that it was their election to lose.
It would seem those words went unheeded, and they indeed LOST the election.
For things to really change around here, the people's mentality has to change first.
Get rid of the hate, finger-pointing, insults, put-downs, screw your buddy, close-mindedness, and all the other negative thoughts and feelings that act as an anchor and drags everything and everybody down with it.
No government can affect change without the people changing, embracing change, wanting change and acting in a way to facilitate change.
Begin by taking a long, honest look in the mirror.
They helped Jim Ireton, Jake Day and Laura Mitchell get married. What do you expect!
The same group was trying to get Bubba Comagees elected mayor over Jim Ireton.
