Nice hype!
Too bad you will be a one-term executive!
If Question A doesn’t get you, the reelection at the end of your term will!
Luckily the queen will just be a bad memory in 5 years
That airport is sucking money away from critical infrastructure projects like road and school maintenance. Just wait and see.
Wow. That’s funny. Just drop a bomb on Salisbury and start over. The place is the armpit of America.
Why the hell don’t they break down and pave Snow Hill Road?? That road is a total disgrace and it’s ruining cars. No excuse for that road which is heavily used, to be in that shape for as long as it has been. FIX IT!!!
Is your question directed at Wicomico County Roads, Worcester County Roads or State Roads ?
You have to find out if it is a county maintained road or a state maintained road.
Secondly, when Snow Hill Road has been paved in the past, it causes many delays along its route. Than you get to hear the commuter complain about it being paved.
Oh, than we get to hear how it was a waste of money and that the road was just fine the way it is.
