A $9 million dollar increase in the budget since Bob Culver became the County Executive is not what a Conservative should be doing. This is an embarrassment to the Conservative Party. This is not the Bob Culver that I voted for.

Where is economic development? Do something to SAVE this county! I'd like to be able to recoup the money we have in our house.

The County Executive has had a year to do something and has failed to do so.

Also, we the taxpayers are funding SWED, Salisbury Wicomico Economic Development and have been for many years. Dave Ryan is the Director and basically hasn't done Jack Sh*t all this time. Why are we funding the County Executives budget for Economic Development and SWED and nothing is being done?

Bob Culver has got this. If you don't like it run for his office. To make money you have to spend money. This is not the savings and loan down the street. Build a better community your house will increase in value. We need to push the scum out of this county for that to happen.

Maybe law enforcement needs to stop writing bull shit tickets and get back to fighting crime. The MSP mentality will not work here. We have real crime stop f'ing with the motorist and look for some real crime.

Clean our schools of the no thug left behind program.

Stop looking at the heroin epidemic as a health issue. We never took that stance on crack. White kids get involved and we want to call it an health issue. Screw that wage war push somewhere else.

This are is still small enough the good people and cops should be able to clean it up. Time to wage war on crime.
