OCEAN CITY – Mayor Rick Meehan addressed the Boardwalk performers’ protest last week during a code amendment discussion on performers and municipal infractions.
On Monday evening, an ordinance adding the recently implemented street performing regulations to the City Code’s section for municipal infractions, while also revising the list of personnel authorized to issue citations, came before the Mayor and City Council on first reading for approval.
The code currently states, “Any person, partnership, corporation, unincorporated association, or other business entity who shall be deemed to have committed a ‘municipal infraction’ shall be issued a citation for such violation and/or noncompliance … the following listed officials are authorized by the Mayor and City Council to issue citations to violators: police officers, Cadets, Animal Control Officers, the Fire Marshal, members of the fire prevention commissions, fire investigators and fire inspectors, members of the beach patrol, building officials, planning and zoning administrators, licensing investigators and licensing inspectors, city engineers and assistants.”

This reminds me of the differences between White people and Black people during slave times, Jim Crow and maybe today. Just as Whites were and sometimes are blind to the real thoughts of Blacks this Mayor is blind to the real thoughts and feelings of the performers.
I don't see the problem. My boss has me re-apply for my job twice a week. That way, I'm always in my probationary period, and he never has to give me a raise!
Oh, wait. No, that doesn't happen!
