Can someone please tell me how Jim being gay has anything to do with the job he does. I too am part of the LGBT community and fully support the man. he has done very well since he was elected mayor and brought many positive things to the city. How about all of you judgemental types that want to point a finger look in a damn mirror as accept the fact that all you want to do is see someone fail simply because of their politics or their sexual preference. Seriously if you want to rag on a man and create lies please have facts and proof. I know Jim personally and there is nothing that would make me think any unkind thoughts of the man or not consider him a true friend. In the words of the original poster and probably the most hateful and bigoted thing ive seen today "It would be an interesting, albeit disgusting, but highly unsuccessful campaign. We can’t wait for it to start." Id like to see him start,succeed and win.

1st fact He is a liberal. 2nd He cheated on the election with Chuck Cook messing with the votes. 3rd His ideas for Salisbury have not improved Salisbury and there have been no job growths here whatsoever. 4th. Being gay is just naturally wrong, and goes against the Bible. 5th The Trolley is a big joke of Salisbury University. 6th The Bike pathway for SU students to use that was painted all over the roads on South BLVD, and Camden from yours truly was an idiotic idea. Need I go on?
of course because he is gay he deserves your admiration and advocacy.
perhaps you should look around this town and find one thing that is better than it was before he and Tighlmann started catering to non producers for votes and giving the rest of this town the finger.
Giving away public owned real estate is not an accomplishment nor is being Gay some empirical gift that makes somebody smarter or more qualified to do anything
If the LGBT Community wouldn't push their ways on everyone, maybe, just maybe, people wouldn't be so critical. Why can't you be what you are without all the drama?
"Can someone please tell me how Jim being gay has anything to do with the job he does."
He's an impulsive, self-absorbed drama queen. Like so many other homosexuals I've seen. And that affects everything he does.
With all due respect, I can unfortunately think of many unkind thoughts about the man, for starters. I hear supporters like you who say Jim has done many wonderful things but I find it most interesting how none of you ever detail just what those things are, ever.
If you are a home owner in Salisbury, how's your property value working for you?
How's the crime working for you?
How's the newly paved roads working for you?
How's that property tax increase working for you while your property value decreases?
How's the rain tax working for you?
Will you go hand in hand with Jim and jump into the Wicomico River?
I could go on and on about how I feel about the disgrace Jim Ireton has brought to the citizens of Salisbury but that doesn't really matter to Liberals like yourself, does it. You are all for tax increases to better your art district agendas, so you don't fall victim of all of the people who don't agree with that agenda.
A Mayor is supposed to lead and set an example. Getting drunk in bars on a regular basis and even dressing like the picture in my original Post about this matter doesn't show leadership, seriously. You never see Bob Culver dressed like this. Now that is just my opinion and I know times are changing but when it comes to leadership I want to look UP to people in such positions.
Screaming and yelling at women and getting the City into lawsuits is yet another bad example.
Now, do I feel Jake Day will ever act the way Jim Ireton has, absolutely not. Jake was raised by incredible parents. He represents the Military and is well trained with respect. Will I always agree with Jake's politics, NO. However, Jake knows how to agree to disagree and I give him a ton of credit for that. This is something Jim Ireton fails to do in a very big way.
As for Jim being gay, what is it with you people. If YOU went around saying, JOE ALBERO IS STRAIGHT, do you really believe I'm going to be offended? In fact, Jim called me a heterosexual during the election and the Daily Times even published it. Was I offended, hell no. So WHY do you people always get offended when someone says you are gay? You are what you are, period. Get over it already.
The problem is....he isolates himself which others do not like. He always encourages lesbian/gay events to the extreme. You don't see anyone else advertising a white of black only event....that is discrimination. It is what it is, but he takes it to far to where he makes himself look juvenile.
Dot's care if he's gay, care that he has not fulfilled any campaign promises, throws a temper tantrum when he does not get his way, drunk in public. Fact - threw a tantrum when the council would not approve turning the "Bricks" into low income units at a cost of over $180,000 per unit. Most houses in Salisbury are now worth less then half that. Fact- Gave the Fire Dept. building away and ridicules price. I could go on but the writer is obviously an ultra liberal and won't see the truth.
Weclome to most cities in America and I am not gay and certainly not a liberal. In fact I am a proud Veteran who owns a very small business, not in the city, but in Salisbury and as bad as you personally defy it I have seen growth in my business. Mayor Ireton stopped by my business and I found him to be a complete gentleman. What he does on his personal time within the law is none of my business.
Way to go Joe.
I will Answer this for........Walk thru the halls of GOB and ask the people there how they feel about "Tantrum Jim" He acts like a spoiled little child that cannot understand that he is not KING he is the mayor and that the City Charter is the Law he needs to go by not his own......I wonder if You know how many people left the city because they will not work for Spoiled brad wining teachers!
Without getting into Aristotle's critique of Hippodamus, we'll just leave it at You and mayor Jimmy "are part of the LGBT community." Your primary interests are to further the interests of the LBGT community--which I am not a part of--not Salisbury or Wicomico County--i'm not a part of that either though so.
10:42, Thanks JR.
10:42, Coast Guard, right?
Just because someone's gay doesn't necessarily mean they will be bad at any particular job. Hes a bad mayor because hes an idiot. The gay jokes are just too funny to pass up on though!
My problem isn't that he's gay, I could care less. However, when he is a public official and throws a flamboyant hissyfit berating his staff members in public, literally stomping his foot like a 3 year old girl, then I have a problem. I have personally witnessed this happen twice, and I do not work for the city. This was in the hallway of a press event both times. No employee should have to put up with it, and I wish whoever that female was that sued him a year or so ago had been able to personally rape him in court for the way he treats people.
Secondly, I have also personally witnessed him publicly drunk off his ass at Mojos and Roadie Joes, loud and obnoxious and insulting to women publicly. He is an embarrassment to the city. The bartender at Mojo's and the waitress at Roadie Joe's both apologized that he was ruining everyone's dinner, but that they had been told by management to do nothing, because they were scared of the consequences.
I am in the LGBT community as well, and I am NOT a fan of Ireton! He is passionate about the community, but cannot keep his emotions intact when presented with questions or opposition. He seems to frown upon others for not having his position such as his. He also pulls rank, and is very belittling (or tries to be.) I have dealt with this man first hand, one on one, during an issue, and he has no filter of his thoughts-leaving him presenting very unprofessional. I called him on it, and told him he is not to use the language he was using in front of me. I don't disagree with all of his ideas for Salisbury, but putting on a suit and tie does not make him professional. He doesn't know how to talk to people when there are problems.
I truly enjoy this blog for the excellent up to date news. It has a splendid variety of news including bad weather events and warnings .
However , I don't believe I would waste my time on the man or whatever he is. I'm straight , he's gay and he is one of the biggest losers I've met , yes I met him at Boonies , he wouldn't remember , he was too busy looking at himself in a mirror .
Some people cannot separate their small, prejudices from the bigger picture. I respectfully do not think Ireton would be electable but it certainly not because of his life style choices.
Great comment Cory.
10:25 He cheated on the election with Chuck Cook messing with the votes
Then we are to believe they just let Harris and Culver win?
I'm down with the bisexual lesbians though, can mayor jimmy import more and deport some of the mexicans
Cory?? Do you work at the Paoli transfer station??
I'm sorry - but I cannot disagree more with this comment - Firstly I am a democrat, I believe in live and let live, I have absolutely no problem with gay men and women, but I do not think anyone including Salisbury News has made Jim Ireton's main issue that he is gay. In fact, Joe and MOST (not everyone) people who comment on his site have gone out of their way to not make his sexual orientation an issue. Joe has been very fair to judge Jim Ireton on his ability to govern the town of Salisbury. Believe me I am not a supporter of Joe, but I do occasionally visit his site and I would be remiss if I did not write and defend Joe on this. As an occasional reader of this site, I have not felt that gays are bashed here, but don't get me started on his treatment of women.......lol
Cori....it's Jim's policies and untruthfulness over the past several years, as to why I want to see him out of public office. I feel the same way about O'Malley, after watching him run the city of Baltimore and then ruin the great state of Maryland.
Why dont you bunch of liberal LGBT wankers go start your own country on an island somewhere and see how well you prosper. Both Science and the Bible would prove to be right! You'd be doomed. You and your 5% LGBT of population are the REAL problem in this country. Get back in those closets! Please!!!?? Much ado about Nothing!
Hey Jim- click those pretty heels 3 times go home!!!!!!
Cori is your typical liberal. He nor anyone else for that matter can name one positive thing Ireton has ever done. Since they can't name anything and it burns them up that people criticism Ireton's record they use the gay excuse as to why some don't like Ireton.
Cori and the rest of these excuse makers are the ones who need to look in the mirror-oh do they need to look into that mirror. They need to look good and hard.
Every single big city in this country is a cess pool of poverty and crime. And what do they all have in common? Democrat excuse makers just like Cori here.
I live in a neighboring county and Salisbury is a blighted mess. Ireton has nothing to be proud of. No positive record what so ever. He should be ashamed of himself because saying you were the mayor of Sby for 8 years is not a thing to be proud of.
these are my concerns regarding Jim. Deceitful, unstable, bad behavior in general, immature, the lack of leadership skills, lacking common sense. This is just to name a few.

See what I did there?

Harris and Culver aren't in the City of Salisbury. In case you didn't know it the City runs it's own elections with voting machines on City property. You ignorant MORON!!
Cori,
I have never had a problem with Jim Ireton being gay. I have a problem with the way he behaves - badly. How he will go after anyone who disagrees with him on anything - viciously. Let's just stick to the women he's gone after.
Do you condone Jim Ireton standing out on a street corner in a press conference to paint two female members of the council as racists? Do you? Not only are they not racists, but both of them have done more for blacks in this city and in this state than Jim Ireton has ever pretended to do.
Right now, Cori, you are his friend. If you adore him, you will remain his friend. Did you know that both of those women I mentioned above were Jim Ireton's friends, too?
He didn't just disagree with them politically, he looked for every opportunity to crucify them in the press, and he was caught in a lie more than once during meetings. But he had the press on his side.
Oh, and get this, Cori. The other councilwoman had been Jim Ireton's friend for 20 years! What Jim Ireton did to this woman is incredibly reprehensible. Too long a story there to even scratch the surface.
Then there were his hissy fits at yet another woman on the council years ago who was president. I didn't like her, but she didn't deserve what he did to her. Some of us can agree to disagree and stay respectful.
Oh, and screaming at and firing a woman he himself promoted and kicking a door so hard while yelling at her, he broke it or a part of it.
There are other stories, but enough already.
Both in the press and on the grapevine, many people know the side of Jim Ireton you have not seen - yet.
Do you hate Trump for this egotistical, woman-hating behavior but let it pass for Jim Ireton?
As for his policies, some are okay and some stink. Many of his successes are due to the very people he used and abused and gave no credit to.
That is my opinion on Jim Ireton, and it has nothing to do with his sexual preferences. I had the good fortune to move to Delaware three years ago, but still work in Salisbury and try to keep up. Sometimes though it makes me sick to keep up.

See what I did there?
November 10, 2015 at 3:05 PM
Yes it's very clear what you did there. You proved that Gays and Democrats hate Christians. See what I did...
Jim Ireton is a phony. If you watched him on PAC 14 he said that because of him the City of Salisbury is now a minority city with 47% of it's citizens being a minority and by 2020 it will be a minority majority city.
Jim Ireton also proudly told the crowd that his daddy was INCARCERATED.
Does anyone else get the picture? He was telling the crowd what they wanted to hear. He was in a room full of blacks and he wanted to relate.
Jim Ireton is RACIST because he was trying to say that his dad was in jail and he mentioned that because he knows that most blacks, especially around here have their daddies in jail. Jim Ireton is a lying racist that campaigns on lies, deceit and false promises.
I biked the SU to down town route yesterday for my first and last time. Just ride it and you will understand.

Cori Puckett - technically i can...... according to maryland i can use any facility that i identify with
This Freakin dude is taking hormones to be a woman. No wonder he loves Ireton so much. Funny thing is Ireton doesn't even associate with low life, unemployed clowns like him.
I've lived in Salisbury for 38 years. This was once a very nice (and safe) place where I was proud to live and call home. Many prominent good people used to live within the city limits and most of the neighborhoods were attractive and well kept. I look around at our city now and am sickened and appalled by what it's become. Many of the homes and neighborhoods now are so run down they look like slums. NOWHERE is safe anymore. I won't leave my home after dark, and I'm not much more confident being out and about during daylight either. There are reports of robberies, thefts and break-ins every week, usually several weekly. DRUGS ARE EVERYWHERE!! We have become a mini-Baltimore. An (elderly) family member of mine had her purse (with $200) stolen in Walmart.
I've wanted desperately to sell my home and move out of Salisbury city limits for years, however, my home no longer has enough value to sell and re-buy anything decent elsewhere. The slumlords love that our home values have plummeted so badly that they can buy houses up cheap and rent them out to more undesirables who destroy the homes and neighborhoods.
And, Cori, as for your gay and lesbian rights; I'm sick of having your [immoral] gay lifestyle thrown in my face. What about my rights as a Christian who believes the Bible is the Word of God and that living a homosexual lifestyle is a sin against God? Why can't those of you who chose to live in sexual sin just keep it to yourselves, stop making it such a public issue and shoving it down our throats?

Cori and Missi both look like boy/girls with hairlips, beards and little boobs.
The are essentially FREAKS
Joe he is not a home owner. He is a renter who has been duping and cheating his landlords for several years.

You haven't seen some of the "club party" or "get ur freak on" flyers then...
Someone's got her panties ALL up in a bunch.
ahhh the public domain ...
My husband and I live in Salisbury and when I contacted Ireton about crime in our area out of control and a abusive on again off again neighbor, who made those in our neighborhood a living hell, he terriorized us with threats, would not stay out of a house that was condemned, slept in front yards anywhere, drunk and druged out of his mind Ireton, Susan Phillips and the SPD stayed on his butt till he left town and was arrested and is serving time in another county. He came and talked with me several times and did exactly what they promised our neighborhood. God Bless him may you all never live what we lived through.
