Here are the quote from Salisbury Mayor Jim Ireton’s press release:
Mayor James Ireton, Jr. announces that today, Monday July 11th, a prayer vigil will be held on the front steps of the Government Office Building at 5:30 PM. Local Clergy will be on hand to pray for Salisbury and its elected officials.
However …
Ireton has a long record of engaging in political theater. While I certainly can’t question his faith or his religious beliefs, I find it interesting that he has chosen to call for this NOW.
It’s a lot like the little boy who cried “wolf”. Every event that Ireton orchestrates is designed for one of two goals – promoting HIS political prospects, or attacking those that he considers political enemies (or both).
Take a break Jimmy! Let it rest for a while. Then, start holding events that are designed to help the city and your constituents rather than promote yourself or detract from you opponents. Your constituents will appreciated it and your “Sincerity Score” will move above its current rock bottom levels.

Too much praying and not enough doing.

(Verification word is dowtual. Sound it out.)
Didn't he and his council pick want prayer out of council??????

Not too much. I've just been watching Ireton. There are days when he seems to be longing from Broadway more than worrying about how to run Salisbury.
G.A. -- Please define watching Ireton? Are you watching him on Pac 14 or are you stalking him?
