Old Mall Development Plans Blocked


Friday’s Times headline article, “Old mall development plans blocked,” gave Salisbury residents yet another taste of what our mayor and some city council members think about those city residents who are, indeed, patriots.

Government must consistently act openly and within the law, and provide the people with the complete truth behind its actions. It is necessary and correct that those living in a democratic society continually question government, especially when faults in government may exist. Those who question those faults protect the interests of the people and make government work to its fullest potential. This nation, our United States, was founded upon the questioning of government, and the Constitution created to guarantee and promote that precious ability. The visionaries who created it, some of our original patriots, saw that unfettered government was dangerous government.

The Times’ article omitted an important paragraph from the ruling document of Circuit Court Judge W. Newton Jackson, a quote that amplified his decision: “It is simply incompatible with democratic government, or indeed, even with fair government, to have the meaning of the law determined by what the lawgiver meant, rather than by what the lawgiver promulgated. (A. Scalia, A Matter of Interpretation, Princeton University Press, 1997)”

Government behaving the way that Salisbury’s does, repeatedly expecting its citizens to turn a blind eye to misdeeds and half truths is more than just disappointing; it is arrogant, irresponsible and dangerous. Our city council and mayor must follow the letter of the law in every aspect of their official actions. Failing to do so, then lambasting those who invest their time, intelligence, experience and financial resources to monitor them, their failures are only compounded, and foolishly so. This is certainly not the first time in recent memory that those council members and our mayor have laid blame upon others to deflect public opinion, rather than, with civility and humility, admit error and graciously move on to putting Salisbury’s house in order.

The concerned citizens who launched the Mall suit, Linda Kent, Dave Suiter, Terry Cohen, Kate Manizade and their many supporters deserve a standing ovation, not censure, for doing their patriotic duty to ensure that the people are heard and insisting that our government behaves appropriately and in a manner that benefits us all.

There Are NO Excuses Not To Vote!


Even this patient was dragging intravenous and oxygen just to get to the polls!

What's your excuse 82%?

So You're ALL Saying This Is OK?




More Candidates and Volunteers Than There Are Voters!







Please Folks, get out there and vote! I have spent my day running around Wicomico County hoping one of the places I was visiting would have more than 2 people inside voting but it just didn't happen!

Take 20 minutes out of your day and blow these people away with votes. It's a choice and a privilege, please take advantage of it before someone wins or loses that really needed your support.

BREAKING NEWS!


The Polls Are Fixed!












A close and personal friend just left Pemberton frustrated and furious! He went to vote and they told him he had already voted!!!!!!

While arguing about it another person in line told how another voter had just been told the same thing!

Listen closely folks, ask your friends if this has happened to them as well because someone has already taken the votes from people and there is a HUGE scam in the making here!

You heard it here first!

Don't Forget To Vote!



The Rand McNally Road Atlas Dumps The Salisbury Zoo



Because of Ron Alessi and Jim Rapp, the Rand McNally Road Atlas refused to add the Salisbury Zoo as one of their major attractions once again in Maryland.

The lack of animals was certainly their first clue but Ron Alessi says he's proud to be a part of one of the best small Zoo's in America. OK Ron, who said it was one of the best small Zoo's in America, YOU? Maybe Barrie Tilghman?

Could it be they arrived on any one of the multiple days the 5 mauled ducks were found floating in or next to the river in one of the exhibits?

What I can assure you is, IF the Salisbury Zoo was in fact such a nice place, no one else recognizes that any more other than Ron Alessi, Barrie Tilghman and Jim Rapp. Rand McNally didn't pick the Salisbury Zoo because it's no longer a nice atraction, period, end of story.

Roberts Throws In The Towel


Here's living proof Folks, Robin Roberts throws in the towel to Mike Lewis, (a pink one at that) as the two poke fun at one and other at the Shorebirds Stadium yesterday.

Thanks for showing everyone a good time guys!

Who Will Be Washed Up And Who Will Be Hung Out To Dry?


























Today will bring a whole new light on Wicomico County in the Sheriff's Race! "Some" of the candidates came to the Shorebirds Stadium with a great sense of humor and allowed a ton of people to pick fun at everyone involved and got the chance to slam dunk each candidate for a buck.

All I can tell you is, these are some very fine people and I'm thankful I live in Delmar, DE. and I don't have to choose at the polls tomorrow! Do note on the final picture Mike Lewis was doing his best to do a Barrie Tilghman impression. ;-)
