Joe, have you posted anything about the 400k buck amphitheater they are building? Day said it is state funded and is in the city's master plan so they are obligated to fund the plan. Saw this on the 47 page.
"Agenda for Mondays City Council work session. Proposing paying the Mayor 75K year and regulating AirBnB rentals. These clowns are loosing it!!"
ROTFLMAO!! Proof that Jake Day desperately needs a J.O.B.!
Too Bad Fake Day, you lost that opportunity when you hired Julia Glanz and created 2 Assistant City Administrators when you gave your buddies Amanda Pollock and Andy Kitzrow new jobs. Then you hired a person to work on the Folk Festival after you said the second Assistant City Administrator was going to be handling the Folk Festival.
You people have lost your mind if you allow this to happen.
You have to be kidding me. This is a joke right?
Seriously???!
What a load of crap. Regulate AirB&B? What's the matter Jake, did the hotel lobby get to you? All these wonderful fees you will collect. How are you going to identify those who using it. Do you think they are going to self-report. Just leave the decent people alone and get on with fighting crime, homelessness, and the unsightly properties in your 80% rental city.
I can't believe these tiny town positions are actually full time paying jobs. A volunteer or retired person could do it a few hours a week.
Slumlords getting ready to get a tax hike to pay for all this.
No the slumlords like jake day and JOHN CANNON got to him ????
Why is the state paying for a city THAT HATES THEM.
$75k is a huge jump from $25k. What's he done to prove his worth so that he can collect after the next election? That's including health and life insurance, a company car (wait for it - it's coming) and the invisible mayoral perqs. Day is a shoe-in for reelection at least once, as there's nobody on the horizon with even close to the same corporate pocketbook and support, not to mention his favorite son status.
Are we electing a mayor, or hiring one?
It will be approved. Has no one realized the magnitude of corruption of our local government? It is them against us, and it all Jakes doing.
5:07 PM - you people? I guess you don't plan on doing anything about it but want the rest of us to fight on your behalf? You are a prime example of whats wrong with this craphole.
Maybe I should change my residence.
Rental blight is a plague everywhere. Often who you think are slumlords are just local property management companies. Larger consortium's are running investment funds that specialize in consuming properties driving up rents and reducing the property values of neighboring home owners to acquire their property too. The sub prime lending scandal and foreclosures and the reverse mortgage preying on the elderly has further fueled this investment scheme. It's shameless. Realtors are a schmoozie joke. They should be paying you to buy anything around here.
What are you doing ?
Have you been to a council meeting and called out Jake day and the PD Chef Duncan on the crime and the crime cover up ?????????.
C R I C K E T S.
Children, This is the day for which I have foretold. Did you listen.? No. Do you Hear me Now? Liberals Want to make Men irrelavent [No, Sweets!]
6:20-Joe, if you move back to Salisbury to run again, I'm moving back so that I can vote for you. You are the *ucking man! I would even volunteer for your campaign.
Are there even airb&B'S in Salisbury?
He doesn't deserve what he makes now absolutely should be no raise, and he needs to be impeached or thrown out by partitions someway. The Council the City Administrator all of them need to wake up they have made things worse since the last elections.
Turning into another Baltimore for years, since Barrie Tilghman and now one more election and Salisbury will be a suburb of Baltimore. Salisbury already has no professional leaders from Mayor, Police Chief, Fire Chief down the ladder. There is no active Police enforcements, no knowledgeable States Attorney, gun crimes, drug dealers freely dealing, gangs running rapid and all with no prosecutions. I forgot slum lords own 85% of Salisbury.
6:30 PM Take a look in the mirror before you throw shade at others. By your own admission you have done nothing.
People are all boo and scared by Socialism and Communism having never been to a socialist country or read the little red book in their Mayberry or Waltons Mountian Library but when local money and small corporate interests are able to place in public office a puppet dope to do their bidding it's what is commonly known to be soft Fascism. It is know surprise. It has happened in the country at large with patronizing promiss to the working " proletariat " LOL and the controlling interests will throw them some crumbs. The statues the Anthem all the none news that we have been distracted by for months now in this new era negates the fact that people need jobs and security. I could care less about Obamacare. Take it or leave it it's just another pinata and we are all blind folded taking blows at it. Lets move on and let it destroy itself and make demands of this administration beyond butt hurt fake news Twitter's and reality TV. I hate to say it but Bannon may just be right. The cabinet may pull the 25th.
Jake Day wants another 100,000 a year raise....he said he needs a new phone because of all his selfies
6:47 PM, problem is, the majority of us DID vote for Joe when he ran, but, the corrupness in this town came out in full force and somehow or another(hahaha)Joe just didn't get the votes. Sure I would vote for Joe all over again, however, Salisbury won't let it happen. Just like if we go to a city council meeting. Do you people really think it makes a difference if any citizen in this town goes to a meeting and expresses their concern over crap that they pull? Hell no, it doesn't because their minds are already made up and it's only going before the council because it has to. That's exactly why no one goes to their stupid meetings - already set in stone what they are going to do and by damn they do it, regardless.
Thanks Dad.
Mic drop lol
6:40- Who are you calling Children? Please site when you stated that the mayor would want such a ridiculous pay increase. Do you hear me "sweet one?" No one will drink your kool-aid, Jim Jones. I'm listening, but I can't hear you! Men, irrelevant? How so? Come back down to Earth! No sweets? You sound like a pedophile. I don't know any, but addressing us as children and denying "sweets?" Weird, dude.
So, what are you doing about it 6:30? Stop trying to belittle those you do not know. That's what trolls do. I live in a decent house so I don't hear crickets. Easy on the question marks, High Horse Harry!
There are other sites other than airbnb that they don't know about that have local places for rent. So he goes after just one and not the other? How is that possible. Someone should inform airbnb and get them involved. That fool won't know what hit him.
The funniest thing is people in smallsbury are renting out their apts over their garages as luxury vacation rental. One has their apt on the edge of the wastewater river for 275 a night. Another one is advertised as - only 30 minutes to the beach! Woo Hoo! What a freaking ghetto this place is.
ha ha ha one place here on airbnb has the bed in the kitchen for $130 a night.
200% increase! Wow. The immense duties of the job which include businesses leaving and more regulation. Salisbury is another democrat let down in the making. Hopefully the increase in salary will draw real talent to the position. 40k does not seem unreasonable. These pay increases were in the making. It is obvious now why all the nonsense regulations are being introduced. Need more money to stuff their pockets.
AirBnB's are self-regulating according to their business model. This is only a ploy for control and $$$ from fees for a service that is unwanted and unnecessary.
Bed & Breakfasts were legislated in a few years ago with the expectation that they'd be popping up all over the place in the monster houses in Newtown and Camden. Not a one has opened.
If you look at the comparisons for salary, Salisbury more closely aligns with Cumberland and Dover. Why they chose a Frederick is BEYOND me. Look at the populations of each as well as the budget. Salisbury is nowhere near Frederick’s numbers.
2010 census data put the racial makeup of the city at 61% White, 18.6% Black or African American, median annual income for a household in Frederick city was $64,833, and the median annual income for a family was $77,642. Males had a median annual income of $49,129 versus $41,986 for females.
The median value of a home in Frederick city as of 2009 was $303,900, with the bulk of owner-occupied homes valued at between $300,000 and $500,000.
The Frederick Historic District in the city's downtown houses more than 200 retailers, restaurants and antique shops along Market, Patrick and East Streets.[41] Restaurants feature a diverse array of cuisines, including Italian American, Thai, Vietnamese, and Cuban, as well as a number of regionally recognized dining establishments, such as Volt and The Tasting Room.
In addition to retail and dining, downtown Frederick is home to 600 businesses and organizations totaling nearly 5,000 employees. A growing technology sector can be found in downtown's historic renovated spaces, as well as in new office buildings located along Carroll Creek Park.
Apple and oranges.
7:19 there are dozens of AirBNB's in the area. I am one of them. That is why the State tried last February and the City of Salisbury is trying now to get income off them by trying to regulate an already regulated business. Might as well try to tax Uber as well if this is what they are after.
Count me in too. I'll volunteer to help raise money no help campaign. You can do it. We need you.
Why are there AirBNB's in Salisbury? Do people actually use them?
BOO Hiss!
Move to town, Mr. Albero. PLEASE!
Plenty of Airbnb, a bunch by brew river. One of the Airbnb is the bike lane guy's, Jake from State Farm better watch out, his buddies won't like him
He needs money so he can sit in Rise Up coffee and hold court all day. Price of coffee is high there you know. What a joke Jake is
The Woodchuck is a self-centered opportunist; all save his drinking buddies recognized that long ago.
But now he just proposes to enrich himself at the public trough by TRIPLING his income seeking a raise that is more than the average yearly earnings for residents in the area. And far above the average earnings of actual 'bury residents. Must have really galled him to be installing all his inexperienced buddies into big dollar new jobs while he tried to make ends on the mayor's salary, his Guard pay, his wife's job and if he still has the made-for-him-by-his-dad-job at the chicken company.
Let's see if any council members have any stones?
Please move back here Mr. Joe and run for Mayor again! I am a 63 year old female but I'll help you move lighter, smaller boxes in and help clean if you move back. I'll assist on your election committee and walk door to door to help you get elected if I have to! This wanna be king jake day has GOT to go! He is running Salisbury like he is playing a Monopoly game and HE is the banker! His followers must have the mentality of a 5 year old and simply do not know any better. He needs to be pulled off of his throne now! And another reason he needs to be run out of town is because of all of his lies!
Joe. Please please please come back and run. I too will help fund raise and volunteer to help. Jake has to go.
No Joe, come into Ocean City and help fix City FAIL!!!!!!
Frederick's population consists mostly of Washington DC/ Baltimore and Annapolis workers who commute daily. They have a much higher per capita income than Salisbury or Cumberland.
This is an absolute embarrassment if you ask me. These clowns that were given or had positions created for them should be disgraced to tell anyone they are a part of such blatant abuse of city government
Here are the goobers who made that ridiculous salary recommendation –
Kimberly C. Gillis, Chairperson
Winona Hocutt
Robert L. Moore, CPA, CFC
Albert G. Allen, III, Esq.
Jennifer Jordan
Lily Chi-Fang Tsai
If Heath and Boda vote for this, they are history.
Did anyone notice that they are giving the Daily Times free parking places. Why not have them use the parking garage like others are forced to do?
ya'll are so wrong! Jake needs that money! How else is he going to afford those tight ass jeans and some dental work? Ya"ll really should be ashamed.
Looks like Daddy Day is catching it at Perdue about Jakeyboy's do nothing job there, and now they want him to have the same thing but paid by Salisbury's taxpayers.
I assume the Kimberly C. Gillis who chaired the salary study is the Kim Gillis who is married to Brad Gillis of Devreco. Just a way to help pay the Mayor back for all that he has done for Devreco.
Can't believe that Mr. Moore and Mr. Allen -- a CPA and attorney -- are behind this absurdity.
This is hilarious because I thought Jake Day was overpaid at $25,000 considering all the nothing he produces for Salisbury. He should be working for free because the greenbacks lining his pockets from pet projects to buddies should be more than enough for him to exist on.
Here are the goobers who made that ridiculous salary recommendation, and their phone numbers, except for Ms. Gillis who is not worth calling –

While we are on the subject of the City did you know that Salisbury Fire Department Paramedic 1 had to be dispatched multiple times to the corner of Mable Street and Dover Street for abdominal pain. This is happening as we speak.

The Mayor's job in Salisbury isn't a full time job. They just want to pay Jake Day a full time salary because he is unemployable. He can't keep a job any where he goes because he was brought up in the Play Station era of video games and he doesn't know how to work. Jake Day is a Millenial so he won't work and that is their mentality.

Please put a link to that site.
Instead of complaining about Jake Day why not find a person who embodies all the qualities you want in a mayor and get behind them full force so they win the next election? No use crying over spilled milk. It's time to clean up this mess.
Take that money give to the businesses that can’t pay their rent because of his mess up with the street repair not being done!
Agree. These greedy people here pay you 30k with a degree and years of experience and think they are doing you a favor. Its no wonder that talent leaves.
1:38 exactly why do the Air BNB's need to be regulated? Do you know anything about how it works? Are you a registered host? I have been hosting for over 2 years and we are plenty regulated by AirBNB already. What does the city need out of it?
Corruption is running rampant in the city and no one will wake up and see it. But, when it is brought to the attention of the masses then, the ones bringing it up are crucified and made to look like evil doers! All with the help of the local media!
Please do it!! Someone has to “drain the swamp” in this city!
Awww just like little drummer boy jakie!!!
You've got to be kidding me, really, nothing but youngsters running this city, no experience, it's a new world, I hope they make it, at least I don't contribute to city taxes..

poster 5:07:
Don't worry, the citizens of SBY will allow and let this move forward as they always do, becasue ti seems nothing is out of bounds for them... They love it all, taxes, fee's, wasteful spending, the whole nine... Then they will jump on this site or blog to run their mouth about how unhappy they are, and then run their mouth about how YOU are nothing doing for them, what they should be, can be doing for themselves...
It seems that there is nothing this govt agency can do to get the citizens mad enough to want and to effect change... It is just someone else's fault no matter what, all the time... They would probably blame the state of Florida for what is happening in SBY if they could...
I just clicked on the link for "Safety" and looked for the crime statistics. Isn't it funny and Salisbury switches to a brand new and updated web site and web address, but they forgot to update the crime statistics!! Must have done that to hide the skyrocketing crime rate under Jake Day so that he can get his pay raise approved since he is literally unemployed. It's been 3 months since the last update.
CITIZEN SAFETY AND CRIME STATISTICS
JULY 26, 2017
Salisbury's Safest Year Infographic
Increased calls for service and Predictive Policing led to Salisbury’s safest year on record.
UCR numbers for the week of 7/23 show Salisbury down 4.5% in part 1 crimes year-to-date, 2017 over 2016. Violent crime continues to trend downward, and community policing and engagement efforts are redefining the way our citizens think of their Salisbury Police Department. Youth engagement through initiatives such as the Doverdale Hawks lacrosse team have given a safe place to those most vulnerable to negative influence during the hours when they need it most.
