    Salisbury's WWTP could use all of that $13 million, plus $52 million more to correct the incredible mistake that Barry Tilghman and her "Dream Team" city council (Dunn, Comegys, Cathcart and Shields) made and so desperately tried to cover up. $85 million flushed away and $65 million to fix it.
    Remember them for this, Salisbury!
