Since the Wicomico County Council have literally stripped the County Executive out of all power, Why the hell are they allowing anyone else to run for County Executive when the position serves no purpose to the taxpayers and to top it off, why the hell are they asking for a RAISE for that position?
You need to ask yourselves this question as well. Name me ONE elected official intelligent enough to create such documents as the Constitution and others in today’s climate? Starting with the City Council, County Council, Executive, Delegates, Senators, Congress and President. You would think that would be the minimal standard to represent every voter, (or should I say every LEGAL citizen).
Now after reading that, THINK! Think about who is running in the upcoming elections and think about just how big a JOKE the Eastern Shore is. NO ONE is qualified. It’s all about the good ol’ boys.
When I look at documents like the Constitution and then look at our education system today I have to laugh. You know damn well even our teachers today, (with all due respect) have no clue how to articulate such documents.
Yet We The People have become to stupid that we are about to elect people into the most powerful position to become a bobble head. No power! All I can say is while you sit back and do absolutely nothing about it simply realize, YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS! You are being played right here on a local level all the way to the Presidency.
The obvious answer they are about to put Carl Anderton in the position. Salisbury/wicomico county is becoming nothing but a cesspool. If you can get out of the area I would suggest go. Little Baltimore
Becoming? Hate to break it to you. It’s been a cesspool for at least a decade or more.
And that is a direct reflection of your government.
Blacks are no longer a minority in this community and it shows. You have all the ills of every other democrat run town / city. Crime, drugs, gangs, plight, decay, poverty and low ownership.
What did you expect when your city council is running on a section 8 platform?
Negatory Big Ben!
No one wants that lying high school drop out! Mike Dunn, Bill Chambers and Jake Day’s new puppet is John Psota! Just look at all his donors in his most recent campaign finance report! That’s why John Cannon and Bill McCain are feverishly fighting for the $124,000 salary. That is what Psota is currently making and if it doesn’t pass and Psota accidentally wins the election then his salary drops by $39,000. Pay attention!
Why complain? That’s who Larry Dodd, Nicole Acle, Joe Holloway wanted and they got Sleepy Ernie Davis on board with them! They created this mess! They put him in and now you have buyers remorse, you didn’t listen when the people spoke so… don’t complain now! Suck it up buttercups!!
Psota is a asshole period! That is correct! Look at his donors all RINOS ! Last but not least can we please get that friggen arrogant a$$ Wayne S$%^BURG out of the G.O.B. and cut that $75.00 per hour consult fee out! This budget wrecker is one of the reasons for all the nightmares downtown anyway.
You know as well as I do , we have also slipped into a socialist communist county . They just went with the rest of the country . Count your ammo now , you will need it . Don’t fire till you see the whites of their eyes.
I totally agree we are all being played just like a violin, but how do we change that? People, or should I say sheeple, do not know how to think for themselves any more.. They vote for who they are told to vote for, or see a sign for, or hear that’s who to vote for. Damn, do some homework people, dig into the candidate you think you want to vote for, see what they have or have not done, see what promises they have kept or not kept. See how they have destroyed a town that used to be nice to live in, see how much money you are putting out for taxes and how that tax money is being used. Is your neighborhood as nice as it used to be? Why not? Vote with your head, but first fill it with knowledge about the candidate of your choice. The USA and local communities are all going to hell because of your choices at the ballot box. And for those who work at the ballot box, make sure votes are counted correctly, and dead and illegal people in our country don’t get a vote.
I am a little perplexed by your “no one is qualified” statement
There are plenty of qualified people who choose not to run because of the corruption.
This area is full of yahoo’s who think they are big fish, but once they leave the confines of the small pond they exist in , they are nothing but guppies. Business owners included. Your egos and self importance is comedy gold.
What I find interesting and laughable is the fact that this area embraces the status quo, then complains that they live in a crime ridden ghetto. Just look at your city government that embraces poverty, welfare, section 8. You expected a better community promoting that? Instead of marketing new business (other than another royal farms), they are chasing every welfare $$ and program out there
A stranger throws their hat in the ring and you all flee from “stranger danger”.
You are all culpable. Especially the ones to lazy to vote. “well I didn’t vote him in”. hmm yes you did, by your inaction.
No one “qualified” or smarter than your existing list of idiots wants to get involved this chitshow. Ask the doctor who was dragged thru the gossip mill because your corrupt status quo couldn’t have him involved, and you lapdogs just sucked that all up and tarnished the man and his family. What a disgusting community.
Face it, this is as good as it is going to get, with your $3+ mil 20 hour ethnic festival that only a handful of people attend, tax payer funds to promote the alphabet depravity, more wasted taxpayer $$ promoting tent city’s and your police department corruption .
“No one is qualified” was intended for the very people who have already filed. As for the rest of your comment, I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for tasking the time, (all of you).
The doctor that was dragged through the gossip mill was dragged though by Bill McCain, John Cannon, Josh Hastings, Mike Dunn, Bill Chambers and a few others! #NeverForget!!
A wise woman said- “seeking public office is, in and of itself, proof that a given person is physiologically unit to hold public office”.
I knew I would see come crap about voting for the right person , It doesn’t matter now since we have learned that they will steal the vote , too late [people it’s over accept it , boo whooo
I posted a similar question yesterday asking if anyone knew the outcome on the Wicomico County Council vote for “setting the 2022-2026 Annual Salary” of our next County Executive and County Sheriff. The proposed salaries would have increased the County Executive from $85,000 to $125,000 and the Sheriff from $95,000 to $121,000.
The truth of the matter is “You get what you pay for”! The County Executive’s salary has never seen an increased since its creation back in 2004 resulting in the hard fact that nearly all Departments Heads that fall under the guidance of the County Executive are earning a higher salary than their boss. In several cases, Department Heads are earning much more than their boss. If Wicomico County wants a true, qualified, leader to take control of this County, then we’re going to need to “Pay for a true leader”. If not, then we will continue to draw the numb-skulls IDIOTS who can’t balance their own checkbook let alone manage a $150,000,000 budget and capital improvement plan, brag about how great they are yet have never accomplished anything and have failed at everything they’ve attempted.
In every county with an executive, there are some department heads that make more, often much more, that the executive.
Current FY2022 salaries for a few selected Wicomico County Department Heads and Assistants
Director of Administration $120,000 (down from $145,000 under Wayne Strausburg)
Assistant Director of Administration $104,000
Director of Finance $104,200 (down from $120,000 under Michele Ennis)
Head of Planning and Zoning $97,528 (has been vacant since Jack Lennox retired)
Deputy Sheriff Corporal (several) $89,000
Sheriff Lieutenants (several) $112,103
Sheriff Sergeants (several) $93,982
Sheriff Captains (2) $120,112 – $128,000
Head of Emergence Services $91,370
Airport Manager $105,000 (down from $126,000 under Dawn Veatch)
Head of REC Parks & Tourism $97,554
Deputy Head of REC Parks & Tourism $92,856
Its all there. Simply look it up on the Wicomico County Internet Page under Budgets.
Paying Chuck Rousseau 93k as a deputy director of recreation and parks is the most total waste of taxpayers funds in the whole budget of Wicomico County. This guy is the biggest turn coat in the whole county network and if he and this position were eliminated there would be no difference at all.
Yeah, and Chuck is even paid a higher salary than his boss’s boss.
Who is the Chuckies new boss! This guy wears a dress coat with no tie and needs a makeover.
Hell! Bob Culver was about to give his a$$ the boot then he got sick. I wish Bob could had made it thru his term and he would have been back dragging ball fields.
Everyone fantasizes about armed Revolution in the streets yet they continue to pay their taxes and complain about the officials they don’t like and pay. There will be no Revolution as long as your paying your opponents. Take a real risk LOOSE your home property and income. Everyone is so obsessed with the rigged and stolen election. Guess what YOU paid for it. Stop paying for it. Take a REAL stand and stop thinking your nostalgic righteous patriots going into battle. Everything these days is not about values or beliefs is all about Money and who is smart enough to get it and keep it and who’s not. The American Dream is as brainwashed as Biblical Scripture.
We DON’T need a county executive! Let the county council run the county.
Ditto That.
No, their egos are to big as it is!
