Salisbury – Mayor Jake Day has announced that the City of Salisbury will defer water and sewer utility billing, and will not disconnect or charge any late fees for employees of any closed federal agencies during the Trump shutdown.
The exact number of federal employees and contractors affected by the shutdown in the City of Salisbury is unknown. There are currently 296 federal employees in Wicomico County, including federal contractors. As of Wednesday, January 16th, the shutdown has reached its 25th day, with no end in sight.
“Citizens should not have to worry about basic life necessities like water,” said Mayor Day. “It is my sincerest hope to provide some small relief during this uncertain time.”
In order to qualify, citizens will need to verify their employment with a closed federal agency. Beginning Thursday, January 17th at noon, the online application will be available at www.salisbury.md/billing-deferment
Across the nation, restaurants, corporations, and local and state governments are providing extra support to help their customers weather the shutdown. Mayor Day is encouraging local utilities, mortgage companies, and landlords to look at ways to lessen the impact of this shutdown on federal employees and contractors.
For more information on billing deferment for furloughed federal employees, please call 410-548-3115.
Specifics:
Eligibility: Any property owner who is a federal employee (or has a tenant that is a federal employee) Bills with “Bill Date” or “Due Date” during the shutdown period can be deferred for 6 months after the shutdown.
Interest: No interest or penalties will be charged
Cut Offs: No cutoffs due to unpaid bills during the shutdown period

Maybe if the democrats cut their vacation to Puerto Rico t we could get something accomplished.
Really?? What a moron. I try and try to give this guy the benefit of doubt. But I'm done. Why must he do anything?? Federal employees make more money than the average person. Besides. How many Federal employees actually live in this SHITHOLE??
The only reason he offered this is because they searched first.....there are no fed employees in city limits.
Nothing like insulting 1/2 your community. Oh that's right. It doesn't matter when you win by default.
Federal employees make far more than their public sector counterparts who will still be paying their bills.
Since a so called mayor doesn't know the difference, this is NOT a Trump shutdown folks, it's a Pelosi-Shumer shutdown, just so we are clear in the matter!!
This drunken idiot doesn't know right from left, leaves the scene of accidents, lies to police, so why would anyone listen to him anyway. And he wants to be recognized as Mayor? Don't think so. Real nice example for your kids. It's more like this person is an example of what you don't do.
Stupid political stunt by Fake Day. Most people federal employees in Salisbury work down at Wallops and pay is good enough where people aren't going to be struggling unless this shutdown continues for a couple months. How do I know? I'm one of them! And if people are already struggling, they need to use this as a lesson to be more financially responsible.
Yep, he sure did. This A$$ Clown with the Jacked Up teeth hates anything Trump or Republican.
This is nothing but another "photo-op" for this clown because the only thing that is being allowed is to delay on water bill cycle and then you pay both at the end of 6 months. Also you won't get your water turned off.
The water bills go out every three months and I just paid mine which was overdue so there is only one more billing cycle within these 6 months.
Well, Trump shut it down for the safety of the American people and to respect our laws. It is up to the democrats to negotiate in order to reopen. Trump should not budge or use the emergency option. If it extends beyound 2/1 then do not agree to back pay the employees. Use money not paid out to pay down the debt. *&^% you Day - getting really tired of your stupidity.
Looks like they actually changed that some time yesterday on their social media. I was about to be calling their office!
So why cut off water/electric/services for anyone else that is laid off or had hours cut? Federal employees aren't special.
This IS the Trump shutdown. Trump doesn't write the spending... he wants something and refuses to approve unless he gets it.
If he wanted to be the one penning the bills he should have run for a different office.
This is not a confusing or complicated matter. This is Trumps, and ONLY Trumps shut down.
Does this boy have the authority to do so without some input from anyone? Doesn't he answer to anyone? The council doesn't have to vote on it?
I guess he does as he pleases, bike traffic impeding roadways. I sure dread warm weather when we have those bicycle traffic jam's lol
The President said “I will own it” he said it on national tv and I’m glad he did! It is what we elected him to do, so Mayor Day is right, now the reason it is in day 26 is because Pelosi and Schumer will not bargain over the issue of a wall.

You keep posting about that. Give us the details about it rather than just hinting about it. Stop protecting him.
The animals are out of control at Bennett High School with them fighting yesterday and climbing and standing all over the dining tables. Donna Hanlin needs to be fired for promoting and incompetent Amy Eskridge to be the *Principal at Bennett High School. Donna Hanlin needs to be fired for bringing this clown into the school system and inviting him to participate in all their events. Jake Day is always speaking at Bennett High School and others on "Careers." Funny thing he has never had a career.
There currently is NO leadership at the Bennett High School and there are too many students for one Vice Principal to control. That high school is dangerous and OUT OF CONTROL!! But if you want, you had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Hanlin one on one for 15 minutes yesterday to voice your concerns. What a Freakin Joke she and Jake Day are. Please do a post on this to allow the taxpayers in Wicomico County Fkd Up our Board of Education is. The liberals ruin everything.
The Wicomico County Public Schools has gone downhill since Donna Hanlin was hired and invite Jake Day and Bill Chambers and the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce to be involved in our County Schools.
Time for the Board of Education, the County Council and the County Executive to have a Press Conference on this and a vote of No Confidence for Donna Hanlin.
My tax dollars pay their salaries and I am a citizen..."“Citizens should not have to worry about basic life necessities like water,” said Mayor Day." Thanks Jake, my water bill in Ocean City is overdue and I could use the help!
So guess who has to foot these bills in the meantime?
Hard working taxpayers.
Of course this is a political stunt. Please name one family living in the Salisbury City Limits that works for the Federal Government. Just one family and I don't me a Salisbury Zip Code, I mean someone that actually lives in the City Limits and pays city taxes.
Does anyone have a copy of this calling it the Trump Shutdown?

There must be something to this because this is the third time I have seen this posted on a blog.
Joe do you know anything about this incident. I remember when he was running for the city council you had posted tons of poor driving records on this guy.
I remember he was even driving up to the GOB on a suspended drivers license for FTA.
I don't believe President Trump will 'call back' these employees...great time to purge and cut waste, fraud and abuse. Goal; downsize government.
So no one has saving accounts anymore? What the heck?!
Bad choice of words, Jake. You should know better, especially when he's your Commander in Chief and you proudly wear the uniform. Respect, son, respect.
This is his attempt to try to look like he cares when he doesn't even understand who is really responsible, I agree Schummer & Pelosi are the culprits. If he really wants to do something for the city try paying for the War Memorial for our fallen heroes, get behind that Jake and City Council, it's one of the REAL THINGS YOU COULD DO, the statue needs repairs!
And when the city goes public with the ransomware attack at SPD, he'll blame that on trump too.
SPD is trying to keep this under the radar, but it's coming out.
Word inside the GOB is freaking out because they don't know how deep this goes.
City won't pay ransomware, it's just a matter of time.
But Salisbury is a town full of Democrats. They don't care when he says crap like that. They believe it too.
I am curious, can the federal employees receive unemployment. I used to work for a construction outfit, January and February some of the guys would get temporarily laid off, allowing them to collect unemployment. Granted the key work here, is temporarily laid off....
......meanwhile my U.S.C.G spouse still gets up in a "duty room" away from home at 2pm to work his 5:30pm-5:30am 12 hours shift @ Ft Wadsworth, Staten Island! His last paycheck was in December. Unfortunately, there are many couples that met in the Coast Guard as active duty and both are working without pay. I am blessed to have at least my income to provide for the both of us.
There is no "paid" vacation going on here as many seem to think or "oh those high paying government employees make too much money anyway".
Oooh. Bad choice there, Mr. Mayor.
My headline for this story would be, DAY SHUT UP!!!!
This has nothing to do with Trump. All the same losers Nancy, Chuck, etc. were all for the wall before Trump. Its not about what is best for the people at all. Blame them when you don't get your pay since they are the ones who are being a**es about it. They just want to make him look bad.
January 17, 2019 at 1:30 PM:
If they are laid off, and told to stay home, yes they can collect unemployment. If they are required to stay on the job as "essential" employees, but not get paid until the budget is passed, then the answer is no. They are not unemployed, they just aren't getting paid right now. Sucks, they still HAVE to report to work, without pay, or they will lose their jobs. They will get all their back pay when the budget is passed.
If it wasn’t about politics this deal would extend to anyone that faced a hardship.
This poor guy is starting to crumble under the pressure of the lies and deceit
Most of those numbers are employed at the Postal service and wallops. Neither of them are being affected by the shutdown. Just another childish ploy by the boy mayor. Hes merely trying to deflect the limelight off of his DUI fiasco
January 17, 2019 at 1:30 PM
No they are getting back pay so they do not qualify
I have also heard he left the scene of an accident.
I am sure it is being covered up if it is true
POS skated from a DWI two weekends back.
My business in Salisbury needs help can I count on Day?
Well I’m working and getting paid what can I get. Nothing.
Home Land Security is right behind Lowes
It's not just President Trump that wants the wall, any American citizen with a brain realizes the dangers it can prevent & the benefits of keeping the illegals out.
MAGA !!!!
waiting to see how much wicomico taxpayers are on the hook for the lawsuits coming from JMB and WCBOE! Awesome,
wtf bob? where you been hiding?
U r a moron. Its been 18 years since President Bush approved it. This wall has been delayed long enough
hmmmm,
possibly the AIDS VIRUS is starting to affect his brain...
I placed many of Homosexuals who died of AIDS...in body bags awaiting next of kin
place in the wrong hole....AIDS is a result
I'm a federal employee who lives in Salisbury but works in Delaware . I'm not getting paid but still go to my job because i love what i do. We will eventually get back pay, even my coworkers who aren't coming to work because technically they dont have to will get paid. This is 100% on the dems and i support the president. They only care about get more illegals into the us to get them more votes.
Anonymous 9:48 you are one sick Bastard that lying president started and is the reason for this whole situation because of his HIS WALL. A dumb jackass.
Jake Day is a follower. Whatever the governor does Jake does
Do tell
I think they know where the unemployment office is. We go there when we are out of work, why can't they? Cry babies. They need to live within their means.
@ January 18, 2019 at 9:am. Excuse me, but YOU are the jackass. The wall is to protect America and it's citizens. The idiots who are against the wall are the very ones who passed the Secure Fence Act in 2006. Pelosi and Schumer among others signed it. Now they are against it? Only because Trump is the President that WE put in office. They are afraid of giving him what they consider a victory. Now who are the asinine idiots? A bunch of self centered fools refusing to protect America because of their butt hurt feelings of losing an election. You can't be that stupid.
@ January 17, 2019 at 9:48 PM. Exactly right sir. But can't they get unemployment benefits? January 18 9:00 AM should have the brains that you have. It's just another violent democrat.
The Secure Fence Act was also passed in 2006. Even Pelosi and Schumer and others signed. Both Democrats and Republicans, Congress and Senate agreed on it. But where did the money go that was approved for it? The wall was not built with the money? Investigation time, President Trump.
Sorry Jakester but this is completely the #SchumerPelosiShutdown. You’re a fool or are not paying attention, or in your case, both, but you really need to stop spreading fake news, little buddy. Didn’t you learn from Buzzfeed last Friday? When you do that, you diminish whatever cred you may have left. Get a clue.
What would be the punishment by the justice system for punching the mayor in the face ? Asking for a friend
Once again democrats get special treatment while the rest of us out of work and struggling get nothing,lovely.
The real problem is the Obama DOJ. Need them out of the schools.
9:00..... what a unusual vocabulary you have picked up. Without calling you any colorful names, all I have for you is the following. Enjoy the wording, it is for your eyes only (viewing pleasure). Because you will see it again before you know it.
Are you watching?
Here goes........
Trump/Pence 2020!!
Trump/Pence 2024!!
Etc.,etc.,etc.
You get the idea :)
Now don't forget to take your pills and enjoy the day!
9:48 Is the Federal Employee not you so you are the _______. He/She should know what the truth is after all they have the job, you criticize and probably don't even have a job. And Pelosi & Schumer just want vacation trips paid for by the government as well as the transportation for all their trips. It's because of their failure to work on accepting we the people need a border that we have this shut down they won't even attempt to meet to stop the shut down both should loose their jobs.
Typical brainwashed democrat.
Hearing any buzz about Jakey being in another driving mess?

YOUR GOVERNMENT JOB WOULD MEAN VERY LITTLE IF YOU OR A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY IS KILLED,RAPED OR ASSAULTED BY AN ILLEGAL ALIEN WHETHER THEY ARE A DRUG RUNNER OR JUST A COMMON CRIMINAL-.-YOU ARE JUST AS DEAD OR VIOLATED. PELOSI IS A DING BAT NIT WIT POWER HUNGRY ANGRY HATEFUL OLD WOMAN TRAINED VERY WELL BY HER DAD--BALTIMORE SUSPECTED MAFIA CONNECTED THUG IN THE 1940'S.GOOGLE TOMMY D'ALESANDRO AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.
