"to assist the Salisbury Police Department'
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I thought Jake Day and Salisbury had their own Fire Marshal?? Washington Street is in the City and the State Fire Marshal was called in? WTH!!
What do Eric Cramer and the other clown do all day that they are called FM 1 and FM 2 if they are not real Fire Marshals?? Why are we taxpayers footing the bill for two clowns riding around in city cars claiming to be fire marshals when we have the Office of the State Fire Marshal in the Paul Martin State Building that are doing the same damn jobs!
Jake Day and John Tull(wannabe Fire Chief) are screwing you dummies every day with fake wannabe Fire Marshal positions in the Salisbury Fire Department that are NOT needed. No wonder the paid firemen endorsed Fake Jake for Mare.
Remember this on November 5th when you go to the Polls. You need to vote for Wayne King for Mayor of Salisbury.
Did they check his immigration status? I bet not. Plus I bet they let him go and tell him to come back for his trial. And they will never see him again. Which will be exactly what they want.
