Be Wary Of Charity Schemes
There was a great article in the paper that made me want to remind people to be careful of any money they give to anyone that is supposed to give it to others. Non Profits that claim they give money to charitable causes are supposed to have a license and be strictly monitored by the IRS. This time of year is when many people take advantage of others generosity. Some local group that was raising money for veterans just was fined 20,000 for issues related to their funding.
Please look at http://www.charitynavigator.org/ for any organization before you give money to them to give to a charity. The safe road is to always give directly to the organization and not go through any third parties
I Welcome The Community's Thoughts
Something I want to do new is offer people on the shore the chance like the Daily Times grapevine to voice your opinions on topics I may not discuss. I also know how people enjoy the anonymity of doing so, so to keep that in mind if you have an opinion or question you would like to ask, or just something to bitch and moan about, leave me a comment and just add thought to the end of it and at the end of each day I will pick a few to post.
I will straight off tell you I will be more liberal with what I allow, but if you send something dumb don't expect it to show up.

Extreme Makeover Neighborhood Edition
What a great thing they are doing down in San Domingo by not only helping the Johnson-Goslee family but also taking the time to help people in the area of their house will all the volunteers they have. This is something we as a community should do even more of even when this ends.
Debbie and Terry What Next?
Well they have managed to pretty much undo all progress the City has made in the past 4 years, they have halted economic growth, stopped families from having affordable housing, rejected funds for minority youth, attacked Urban Salisbury forcing them to shut their doors, went after pac14 funding, denied they had any involvement in the safe streets legislation, and the list just gets bigger and bigger.
Please Salisbury this is not the best we can do, we need true leadership not vindictive paybacks. These two with mindless minion Tim are killing Salisbury.
Old Fire Headquarters Should Be Turned Into Temporary Homeless Shelter
I have sent an email to all City Council members and Mayor Ireton asking them to consider using this building as a temporary homeless shelter with winter coming on. Below is the email I sent.
"As the colder weather has arrived locally and we have just had a collapse of the deal that the Gillis group had put together for the Old Fire Headquarters I would ask the Mayor and City Council to consider turning this building into an emergency homeless shelter. We are all aware of the increasing homeless population around the City and especially right there at the library area. What better way to utilize this building than just have it sit there could there possible be than allowing the homeless a warm place to stay. Please consider making this happen"
If you would like to see this as well I ask you to email the council here and the Mayor here and tell them you support this.
320 Vacant Homes In Salisbury Good Grief
I was blown away with the number of vacant homes that there are in the City limits alone. This is just sad to see and hear that so many have lost their American Dream. What are we supposed to do with these homes? This is where SAPOA has saved us from having 700 Vacant homes and yet they continue to be attacked for providing affordable housing for people that are struggling otherwise. Debbie and Terry don't give a crap they want to force more people into the streets.
The City needs to join together and demand that the Council work with Jim and come up with solutions to turn this around it is getting scary around here. We must solve these problems
