To All:

As you know this year the voters of Wicomico Co. will elect its first ever County Executive. The primary race for this position was a heated one. On the Democratic side, Rick Pollitt easily won. On the Republican side only a few votes separated the two candidates.

B.J. Corbin arrived on the scene very late to campaign against Ron Alessi. B.J. put forth a strong campaign answering questions on all the issues. Ron Alessi on the other hand ran a "name recognition" campaign and relied strongly on the puppet strings of "hidden agenda politicos" within the local Republican Central Committee. Unfortunately, the name recognition policy prevailed. However it should be noted that Mr. Corbin literally came from behind with a strong, forward, honest and truthful campaign that lost by less votes than what it take to fill any local restaurant.

Now there is a new candidate in the race. After Mr. Corbin conceded the primary election one of his biggest supporters took up the cause. Mr. Charles Jannace registered as a write in candidate to run on the republican ticket against Ron Alessi.

Mr. Jannance, like Mr. Corbin has solid answers for the problems facing Wicomico Co. He has not been afraid to publicly air his solutions and has placed his platform planks on his webpage. (see below) Mr. Jannace has invited Mr. Alessi and Mr. Pollitt to debate at any time. Neither have given an answer.

When the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce Young Professional Committee held a Candidates' forum that supposed to be open the public, many people were turned away by Mr. Alessi's puppeteers.

When PACE (Public Affairs & Civic Engagement) of Salisbury University held a debate on Oct. 3, 2006, Mr. Jannace was excluded from participating. The reason given was that as a write in candidate he did not meet the criteria set down in the rules governing PACE. A request for a copy of these rules went unanswered. Please note here that several PACE advisors, mentors, and directors are quite openly Jannace opponents. A partial list of PACE advisors/directors:


Greg Bassett--The Daily TimesBrad Bellacicco--Salisbury Chamber of Commerce Norman Conway--Md. House of Delegates Rick Pollitt--Fruitland, Md. City Manager Paul Sarbanes--United States Senator Tony Sarbanes--Wicomico Co. Council Barrie Tilghman--Salisbury, Md. Mayor

It's easy to see with even this partial list of advisors why Mr. Jannace is feared as a write in candidate.

PACE, by virtue of it's name should have welcomed Mr. Jannace to it's forum. As it was Mr. Jannace elected to attend the function and remain outside the building and provided to the interested voters his platform for a better Wicomico County.

Please, I urge each of you to look closely at the candidates. Mr. Pollitt and Mr. Alessi have yet to provide hard and fast answers to the issues at hand. General answers, evasive answers, and a tendency to the Status Quo are prevalent with these spendthrift "contestants of taxpayer money."

Mr. Charles Jannace has answers. Check out the planks in his platform. The answers are there. The votes to make the answers a reality is up to you! See it for yourself. Please go to his website:
