Forgot one thing, must never say no to mayor.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Really? The mayor has a part time position and he needs a full time person to do his job? How incompetent this makes you look Mr Ireton.
ReplyDelete$52,000 for that? For this small city? The candidate will be proficient at candy crush in no time. Isn't that twice what the mayor makes? LMAO.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I find it hard to believe, that there isn't someone already in the office (or multiple people), who couldn't have this extra work duty thrown on them. They are some of the most inefficient workers, maybe if we demand that they pull their weight, become efficient, and do these extra tasks, as part of their salary... they will. Or, they won't, you get rid of them and find someone who will/can. It would be a shame if the public sector were required to show a profit, or break even.
ReplyDeleteWicomico County PIO makes more than that.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to be an ass kisser to get this job.
ReplyDeleteI emailed this to Jay Carney. He said he'd be here tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteYou have to do more than what is put in the job description to even get considered
ReplyDeleteBoloney
An Ass kisser that kisses the mayor on the weekend under the broadwalk.
ReplyDeleteIt requires a degree that the city administrator doesn't have...hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThat salary is much too low to work in hell
ReplyDeleteHaywood Jablomey just applied for the job...
ReplyDeleteknee pads required
ReplyDeleteJoe, you misspelled a word in your headline. It should read, "Hummmmm"!
ReplyDeleteGosh darn it. If I had just gone to school to learn instead of going hunting and drinking wit my friends, I coulda been college educated and be able to gets a job making $50K a year fee doing nothing but sitting in an office.
ReplyDeleteActually you could have the top job, no degree required!

Tom Stevenson doesn't need a degree. He is Jim Ireton's Arm Candy. He dumped the married woman in the neighborhood code office and her husband dumped her. Tom Stevenson is the POS that was hired by DingleBarrie Tillmon now skyrocketed to the high ranking position of City Administrator. Didn't Jim Ireton promise to get rid of the butt kissing department heads under the Tilghman Administration? WAIT!! I said BUTT kissing? Wink, Wink.
The Mayor's Office consists of a City Administrator, An Assistant City Administrator, a City Clerk and numerous other wasted positions in his office. His office alone takes up half of the third floor. Someone needs to dissect all of this and show the waste and "need" to raise your taxes. Jake Day and Laura Mitchell you approved this? Jake Day you expect to get re-elected next year and Laura Mitchell you expect to get elected to the Wicomico County Council!
ReplyDeleteLaura Mitchell, Vice President of the Salisbury City Council approved this addition to the Salisbury Mayor's office. This addition will cost the tax payers approximately $70,000 in additional tax expense. Laura Mitchell this is a perfect example of your tax and spend mentality. We are going to use this against you in your attempt to gain a seat on the Wicomico County Council. We don't want you on the Salisbury City Council and we don't want you on the Wicomico County Council.
ReplyDeleteOh don't think we will forget about your treasurer who also wants to seek a seat on the Wicomico County Council. Your little buddy Josh Hastings worked hard to get you elected to the city council and he is a self proclaimed Moderate. Self proclaimed yes, Moderate NOT! A Moderate would not support immoral gay sex/Same sex marriage. You 2 need to quit the race just like your friend Ron Pagano did. Quit wasting everyone's time with your lies and fantasies.
