LeBel Delivers 'A Brief Relation of the State of Delmarva' May 10

SALISBURY, MD---Should the Delmarva Peninsula break off into its own state?

Dr. Phillip LeBel, retired professor of economics at Montclair State University, NJ, and lecturer at Salisbury University discusses the topic from historical and economic standpoints during the lecture “A Brief Relation of the State of Delmarva.”

His presentation is 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 10, in the Patricia R. Guerrieri Academic Commons Assembly Hall.

The suggestion that the peninsula secede from its respective states has been debated for the past 150-plus years — including a few half-hearted succession bills in Annapolis when Maryland’s Eastern Shore felt it was not getting its fair share from the General Assembly.

Would like to see this, but will never happen, just like no one will stand up and fight for their rights in this city...

No, we should fight Annapolis for our rights to electoral votes and to make redistricting limited to a grid pattern.

Secede, close ECI and send the inmates to Annapolis, then ask ICE and federal agencies to raid SBY, deporting all illegals and serving all outstanding warrants. Then erect signs on Rt. 50 "Welcome to Salisbury, Population 2,000" to accurately reflect who's left.

Correction:

The 2 states would secede to join Delaware, which is in its entirety, resting upon the peninsula.

Technically, this is NOT a peninsula.. It is actually an ISLAND.
