Ireton Calls Salisbury Attorney Who Sued the City a Liar and Legal Hustler

In an interview that was shown on WBOC last night, Jim Ireton said “that’s an out and out lie” in response to a statement by Luke Rommel regarding his efforts to settle his clients’ claims against the City.

And this is from a post on the WMDT website regarding another suit, alleging police misconduct and use of excessive force, that Mr. Rommel has filed against the City in the federal court in Baltimore:

"We will not comment on Mr. Rommel, and his searching out citizens and University students to file suits against police," Ireton wrote in an email on behalf of himself and Police Chief Barbara Duncan.

Does this reckless mud-slinging call to mind the similar out-of-control acts of a former Salisbury Mayor? It seems Ireton has a habit of maligning lawyers who represent those who object to City conduct - just ask T. J. Maloney.

Well don't you suppose this mud slinging mayor is being coached by the former mud slinging mayor? I would say yes.

He is so unprofessional. What other city has a Mayor who conducts himself like Ireton does in these interviews?

he's so crude and unprofessional. acts like a child most of the time. doesn't know how to frame issues and when needed, keep his mouth shut. why oh why is the idiot representing our city? only because low info voters voted, only because idiots voted, only because there was a bit of cheating taking place.

Oh Jimmie. Shoving your foot in your mouth again? Disgraceful. He should've just mentioned that SPD and the city will have their day in court, and look forward to being exonerated. Poor, poor leadership.

Have your videos and inside info been subpoenaed by SPD. Heard today DT, 16 and 47 had been subpoenaed for their information, even the stuff they did not use in their SU/Aita story. Guess its true because DT had a story in their paper today about it.

on a clearer video you can see the cop casually walking until he gets to the sidewalk and then he takes off running and grabs the guy walking past the tunnel.

When they get done with this lawsuit, and IF they win, the lawyer should sue the Mayor.

I think Mayor Ireton is right. He also used nicer words than he could have.
