Now, we are told that "a majority" of the Council has tasked Mark Tilghman to prepare what may become his personal pink slip as the occupant of that position. The proposed resolution would change the Charter to read that the City Solicitor (and assistance) would "be appointed and serve at the pleasure of both the Mayor and the Council."
This change may be portrayed by some as a basis for closer collaboration of the Mayor and Council, but it actually has the potential for disharmony, if a difference of opinion arises, as well as larger legal fees should the Council seek truly independent legal advice about the matters that come before it or significant City matters.
Just who are "the majority" of the Council who want to reduce its authority and independence?

They would be very stupid to get rid of Mark Tilghman.
The majority of the council being Mitchell, Day and Shields. What a mistake if they do this.
The majority of the council? No Jim Ireton is pulling their puppet strings and they are to stupid to realize it.
I was wondering how long it would take before the "New" council would go after Mark Tilghman. You people are fools.
Ironically they will be discussing Council pay as well. I have an idea since you are going to discuss and vote on giving up your power then discuss giving up some of your pay stipend since you will be doing less work now.
Jake Day, Laura Mitchell and Shanie Shields you would be a fool to give up your power and you would be a fool to give up the best attorney the City of Salisbury has had in a long time.
You idiots make me sick!
If a majority of the current council really wants to get rid of Tilghman, couldn't they just get rid of him rather than getting the mayor involved?

They want to look united in that execution.
My guess is that the new City Solicitor will not be Mr. Wilber but someone who supports Ireton and the council majority.

I don't know what dumb@$$ that would be.
Just think in about a year and a half we might get an entirely new Mayor and Council. That would be awesome. Can you imagine getting rid of Jim Ireton, Jake Day, Shanie Shields and Laura Mitchell. We need to get some good Republicans to run for the City Council election. Laura won't get elected at-large so no need to worry. Joe will take care of that Welfare Queen of my Double Wide Trailer.
