Today's Big Story, Council President Jack Heath Rubber Stamps Another Massive Waterfront Taxpayer Giveaway

 So let's start this off with the location. The two waterfront lots above are towards the end of Market Street near Rt. 13. Here's a number I want you to remember. In the 1970's the City of Salisbury paid $240,000.00 for ONE of these lots, (the parking lot). 

The second lot has a pavilion on it. The proposal is to create an open air Bar/Restaurant/Beer Garden. When I read through the documents it became extremely evident that the Mayor, Council and Attorney purposely and carefully worded the agreement to leave out numerous commitment details. The one that made me most curious is, since this will be a completely outdoor bar/restaurant, how will they be able to remain open ALL YEAR ROUND? Will the liquor board really accept this? The Mayor and Council just sold this riverfront lot for $5,000.00!!!!! Let me spell that out, FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

When you look at the above document and you come to realize the City hid this entire RFP under yesterdays agenda with surplus bicycles from the Salisbury Police Department. Pretty slick, eh? Nevertheless, study the above paragraph. The crooked politicians involved KNEW this was in the works for Lord knows how many months in advance. How on God's green earth can anyone believe this entire project can be completed by August 30th, 2018? Permits, build out, health department reviews, construction and ultimately inspections, it's literally impossible. Clearly Mayor Day, (for his Good Ol' Boys) can make the impossible happen before his National Follk Festival in September, 2018.  

OK, how many days a week will they remain open? Will the liquor board require, (like everyone else) they remain open most days of the year?

Then there's the following SECOND LOT, (below). 

The City Taxpayers paid $240,000.00 for this lot on the river, cleared it, redesigned it to become a parking lot and then created sidewalks and curbing. So let's just say they had $400,000.00 invested into this lot. Are you serious, they just sold this riverfront lot for $15,000.00!!! YES, FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Here's the catch, just in case someone had some sort of heads up before last night's decision. Below you will see how the parties involved actually offered to pay $125,000.00, (which was a major steal in the first place) yet they got both lots for a total of $20,000.00. Oh hell yeah it was your election to lose. 

You can GO HERE and start on page 51. Page 71 also provides more details. Look, I'm personally sick and tired of delivering all of you massive details, facts and documents only to watch you bitch and complain on a Blog and then do absolutely nothing about it. 

So, the big question I have is, What are YOU going to do about this??? Maybe if we get a few more thousand ECI and MS13 members moving/renting more Salisbury properties there won't be any registered voters to give a crap anyway. It's up to you to change it. The entire City Council rubber stamped everything last night without any questions being asked.
