Role reversal

Editor’s note: I noticed that the Albero link was bad, now it’s correct. Or you can link from the sidebar as well.

What do you know, the WMDT forum wasn’t the final forum. I completely forgot about the Camden neighborhood meeting last night. Joe Albero did a good job of covering it in pictures with several posts, editorial comments included.

By this point, after all of the forums and mainstream news coverage the candidates’ positions on issues should be pretty well outlined. All the public needs to do now is get to know those positions and vote accordingly. To review, I covered forums here, here, and here. You might also be interested in other background information I wrote here, here, here, and here.

Unfortunately, only Gary Comegys and Terry Cohen have websites that explain their stance on the issues, which I link to as well (upper right-hand column.)

So the candidates have one final weekend push. One thing I’ve been surprised about is a lack of media presence – no radio ads and I haven’t been made aware of any newspaper ads (but I don’t get the Daily Times except for glancing through our copy at my employer’s office.) With what’s essentially a race spanning 80% of a 25,000 person city, it may be one more suitable for door-to-door campaigning.

My position on the race is known, but Sunday I plan on writing a review article based on the key issues as the candidates themselves see them in their literature. Then I’ll be watching Tuesday night like everyone else to see who I’ll be working with since I’m certain the Salisbury City Council will have a peripheral role with the Wicomico Neighborhood Congress.

    Mono-Mike:

    You missed the high point of the forum follies, which happened at the CNA event last night.

    Terry Cohen & Tim Spies stood up to Richard Insley (who was in the company of Donnie Williams with T. J. Maloney a few seats away — a SAPOA directorate, to be sure). Let’s hope and pray that those two get elected, along with Louise Smith (so it’s a veto-proof Council).

    If that happens, we’ll soon see the wicked witch vanish in a cloud of smoke.
