What A Difference Crossing the County Line Makes

It’s amazing. If you do one thing in Salisbury, it’s OK. If you do the same thing in Berlin it’s a federal crime. That appears to have always been the view over at the Daily Times.

When Barrie Tilghman was the mayor (sorry, the Queen) of Salisbury (sorry again – Barrieland), it was perfectly fine for the city government to meet behind closed doors on the most flimsy of excuses. City Attorney Paul Wilber even admitted that since “everything” was potentially subject to litigation, there was no reason argue over Queen Barrie’s Dream Team to meet behind closed doors. However, the DT crowed about taking the town of Berlin to the state’s Open Meetings Commission.

Now we have the battle of the liquor boards. Wicomico’s Liquor Control Board steals hundred of thousand’s of dollars from Wicomico taxpayers and it’s perfectly OK. Worcester’s LCB makes a few boo-boo’s and they need to be abolished.

I had no idea what a difference that county line made.
