WHY IS WILBER’S BILL FOR LEGAL WORK MARKED “CONFIDENTIAL”

Although I have not seen it, someone who was at the Salisbury City Council’s work session yesterday has reported that a bill recently submitted to the City by Paul Wilber is marked “personal and confidential.” Our source also reported that when a member of the Council asked who had marked it that way and why, the City Administrator said that Mr. Wilber had for reasons that he apparently had not shared with Mr. Pick.

This blog will stay on this outrageous action like a fly on a cow-paddie until the tale is fully told, but for now we can only speculate that there’s something Jim Ireton does not want the public to know. Go figure.

And consider this scary scenario. If, as Mr. Ireton intends, the city’s attorney becomes an “in-house” full-time employee, there would be no legal bills that indicate the matters being handled, so that the public would have no readily available information in that regard. Imagine if the former mayor had a staff lawyer who could be deployed against the “dirty dozen” or other persons on her enemies list without any public notice. BTW – Ireton has already put a gag on City employees in responding to inquiries.
