All talk but no action

There’s been so much talk on the local blog scene about getting rid of the “Scheme Team” (three members of Salisbury’s City Council) that I’m surprised we haven’t heard about anyone throwing their hat into the ring. Now that could be because any potential EOB’s (enemies of Barrie) would want to keep their powder dry, but gee, not even good rumors yet as to who’s running.

But after the first of the year it will certainly be getting started as the filing deadline is pretty early (January 30th to be exact.)

The thing that’s sort of crazy though is that I can’t think of any local blogger who actually lives in Salisbury. Maybe one or two do…but the point is they really can’t step in to solve the problems the city has either. (As of 2 months ago, I can’t because now I live in the county.) Local bloggers (myself included) certainly devote a lot of time to uncovering the problems that are ruining the quality of life on our slice of the Eastern Shore but none can do a whole lot about them aside from financial backing and posting reports.

Because this is a key regional election, I’m going to do like I did for Election 2006 as far as linking to websites and such goes. I may also decide to attend and report on the forums and such – after all, despite the fact I couldn’t vote in the Democrat primary I still covered those candidates as part of my overall Election 2006 coverage. It’s going to be an interesting election cycle and something tells me that, despite the fact Mayor Tilghman is not on the ballot, the 2007 election in Salisbury is going to be a LOT more intriguing than its 2005 predecessor.

Who is going to step up and be the new “Dream Team”? Stay tuned.

By the way, I checked today with Brenda Colegrove and no one has filed yet. In reading Joe’s post on Salisbury News, he says he personally knows of four people running, but there’s no names on the dotted line yet. Does Joe care to share that info?

Otherwise, the title stands for the time being.

  1. Michael,

    I truly can’t tell you why these four people haven’t gone public yet and I am sworn to secrecy. However, I would never lie my friend and I truly know 4 people that are ready to run. One of them was supposed to go public today but he chose to hold off to some other day this week. What I can tell you is, everyone is going to LOVE their new choices and everyone is going to forget about those who are in poer now. I can’t wait!
