As long as the poor people have money to spend (welfare and Food Stamps) we will be alright.<br /><br />The problem may come later. If the Fed Govt can't continue to hand out money, then we will be in trouble.<br /><br />Why work until then? Why not take the free money?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-71847576342310120852014-10-05T14:08:00.838-04:002014-10-05T14:08:00.838-04:00To 11:08 Poster - Annapolis legislators from weste...To 11:08 Poster - Annapolis legislators from western shore have made it that way.

Based on the jobs nos., economy, taxes, one would think that Culver might be a shoe-in. I will say this, Salisbury News has published this information for several years now as I have seen these statistics many times. My only wish is that the other MSM would have exposed some of this but then again, almost all of their reporters are now gone. I agree - cutting ribbons and ground breaking newly lit ball fields is a joke in view of what is actually missing in our economy. Basically, there are simply not anything substantive happening in the economic development department.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-60306679061020300202014-10-02T18:19:30.238-04:002014-10-02T18:19:30.238-04:005:12 - couldn't agree with you more, but I hav...5:12 - couldn't agree with you more, but I have grave concerns about just how educated the electorate is.

Bob is plain spoken, says what he means and owns what he says. If he has made mistakes he owns those too rather than trying to blame others. I'm really looking forward to some honest conversation and tough decision making. I think Bob will do that. The current guy has had almost 8 years and he claimed he needed the first 4 for transition to the new form of government. I find that insulting that he thinks we, the people, needed 4 years to adjust. That is just an excuse for not accomplishing anything in my book. The last almost 4 years have been laughable. Two terms is what was recommended for this position by the Committee who researched this form of government and Pollitt has had his time. It's over.

What she apparently doesn't realize and what Strasburg, Mackes and Ricky P don't realize is that she has no clout with anyone except maybe them. If she had any class at all, she would not try to interfere in an election that she isn't a part of especially when she will be moving to Florida. It is an insult to the people she supposedly served. She has become so bitter that all she can do is be spiteful. Ricky - thought you were a better person than to sink this low.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
