Russ Blake is 'itchy' for Morrison to step in as his child - he had him run last nite's meeting. Morrison offered Hawkins was under the weather. He looked fine. He acted fine. hehe if he was under the weather what was he doing there.

Good one, ole boys, wanna try again?

yeah if it wasnt planned then what was his wife doing there. she didnt stay though when she saw others there who would say something about it.

Hope town is smart enough to realize she'll be one running city. Stir clear.

What difference does any of that make as long as the meetings are conducted?

I would certainly think that there would be more important things to do than worry about who was where and what they were doing at a council meeting.

I'd be a little more concerned about the other possible "mayor" Frank Ward. I have yet to hear his plans if elected mayor, nor a picture of him. Isn't anyone concerned about him?

9:47.. Obviously you're one of the ones that would "say something about it". Nothing wrong with his wife being present. He's running for office, not her. What's your problem? Rather try to tear down Morrison than figure out what makes your candidate worth voting for?

Actually.. Noticing the timestamps.. 9:45 and 9:47.. Probably the same person. Just like the nasty comments on the Sby Grinch, all written minutes apart. Whoever you are, you should seek mental help. You have serious issues.

"try to tear down Morrison than figure out what makes your candidate worth voting for"-That's exactly the Salisbury Grinch's method of campaigning.

That method may work in Salisbury and Wicomico county but obviously not in Worcester where Mike McDermott won and Joel Todd lost.

It looks like Lynn Duffy's climbed in bed with the grinch and crew. I like Lynn Duffy and commend her for filing for the mayor's seat, but aligning herself with the grinch is a sure way to lose. She needs to denounce that blog if she expects voters to take her seriously.

Duffy hasn't 'climbed in bed' with anyone. Absolutely no one. She won't make false promises either.

If you want someone to chaste, look at the Daily Times articles, yes plural, written by Kerbin in support of Morrison. yet other candidates were not 'permitted' to have submitted articles published. Look at the Committee Chair's yard, committee members' yards, and council folks yards with signs. Then complain.

Duffy isnt putting signs in yards without asking permission. Duffy is not going to individuals telling them that they may have the other candidates signs in their yards but will still vote for them. There is a word for that.

Stick to the issues, folks.

What does anyone really know about Ward? What does anyone really know about Morrison? Where do they stand on important issues? Did you go to the last community awareness meeting where they said 'there is a small drug problem in Pocomoke'? Do you believe this? Does anyone believe things are improved in Pocomoke? What is the count now for businesses leaving Pocomoke? How many left the downtown area? Have any of the recommendations by Todd been put in place or enforced? Has crime improved in the last 6 years or is there any planning or has it gotten worse from 10 years ago? Has anything changed in Pocomoke the last 6 years?

These are the questions.

Ward told a minister in town he didnt care if he won and would be okay with if Morrison won.

What does that tell you?

heard that and like Morrison, he has put signs too in properties that is 'renting/selling' to people without asking their permission first, too.

Guess you werent at community awareness meeting where the cop said Morrison was the nomination for Mayor from the council. Then, again some people may have reasons for not wanting this kind of stuff to get out. Because perhaps they support him.
