  1. Why the pomp and circumsatnce ? Well beause these people were public servants. We have all forgotten about those who serve.

    Joe I heard the F.O.P. now represents the Salisbury Univeristy Police in collective bargaining. Is that true? I also hear they about a week away from going public they are going to push for Salisbury City Police to get collective bargaining. It looks like a trend. Can you get the facts and let me know.
