There's A New Sheriff In Town And He Ain't Screwin Around!

Last Friday night Sheriff Elect Mike Lewis called Deputy Scott Hamilton and said, I want to ride along with you tonight, can we make that happen?

Deputy Hamilton hooked up with Mr. Lewis and ultimately made two HUGE drug arrests, seizing almost $6,000.00 in cash, drugs and two solid arrests. Keep in mind, these were two separate arrests, not one!

I'm telling you Folks, Chief Webster needs to take a few months ride along with these Deputies, (preferable Mike Lewis) and learn a thing or two about how things are done THE RIGHT WAY!

Thanks Mike Lewis and especially Deputy Hamilton for getting these drugs off the streets! I'm a major property owner in Wicomico County and I'm not coming back till things turn around. I'm confident that's about to happen.

Dear Sir:

In your article on the November 14th public meeting with the developers of the Salisbury Mall property, you quote Jon Natelson as saying that his project will be unlike anything seen before on the Eastern Shore. His masterpiece of understatement made me choke on my coffee: he and associate Michael Dzaman would like to cram 2000 people (think Delmar) into a city already groaning under ill-anticipated development. While we’re experiencing how unlike anything here is their project, they’ll be laughing all the way to the bank, TIF accomplished, amused at the gullibility of the rubes on this “outhouse” side of Maryland.

Possibly the only equivalent to the stupidity and greed of this plan, was the ramming of Rte 50 through Salisbury’s old downtown area, except instead of creating a ghost-town, this will make a lethal snarl near Rte 50. Picture high-rise anthills surrounded by narrow streets, plus rows of Prince George County-style townhouses, on top of retail shopping that caters not primarily to residents, but to traffic on Rte. 50.

As one of the four successful petitioners for justice on the illegal rezoning of this property to Planned Development District (PDD) status, I’ve seen their plans, and heard them balk again and again at reducing density. One might get the impression that they need that density to flip the property to a bigger developer waiting in the wings. They offer no guarantee that they will provide anything they promise. And Natelson is right about this being unlike anything on the Shore: it’s the very worst of D.C. and Baltimore metro-area urban development. There are foreigners who came here to escape the likes the Old Mall development, and there’s nothing funny about that. Natives who think this will gore only the ox of the come-here’s, should imagine more rudeness in traffic, more accidents, more crime and more anonymity in your own small city. Natelson and Dzaman come from a place where people are so punished by daily traffic that they butt their shopping carts together to beat other hapless lemmings to the check-out line, and curse under their breath when they finish last. Think you’ve already seen this? Get ready to see a whole lot more. Is that what you want for Salisbury?

These men have, with impunity, allowed their property to become a public hazard under a 2005 Salisbury BHZ demolition order that has gone un-enforced by a Mayor and City Council arrantly derelict from their duty. YOU try buying an investment property in Salisbury, and then let it deteriorate over the years, allowing bums, drug dealers and other undesirables to infest it. How long do you think you would go un-fined? Do you really think you could demand and get a TIF from the City Council if you otherwise refused to comply with a demolition order?

This is what these slick operators have done, with the assistance of our Mayor and Council (Mrs. Campbell alone dissenting). While in flagrant violation of a demolition order, they have had the colossal nerve to demand approval of their project with a TIF subsidy, (which will take $1600 from each taxpayer in Salisbury) before complying with the law and removing their stinking eyesore. That really may be unlike anything seen before on the Eastern Shore.

Another Spectacular Light Show This Morning!

The Night Of The Living Zoo

Tim Chaney attempts to raise his hand for some 10 minutes and Lynn Cathcart FREAKS OUT! "Put Your Hand Down NOW!"
Lynn, (all off a sudden) in a rage of anger decides she's got a perfectly good voice after all as she originally ACTED as if she was ill and couldn't speak.
Barrie Tilghman played her typical RUDE game of running over to Mike Dunn and interrupting Debbie Campbell in the middle of her speaking.
Gary Comegys gives Debbie Campbell that patented look of his, I'm bigger than you and I can beat the crap out of you because you're only a woman, look.

Last night I was even kicked out of the meeting by Mike Dunn. During the break I walked up to Mike and said, "it's interesting how the Daily Times Photographer is moving all around the room Mike, is that distracting you at all?" Mike simple laughed at me in that very gay kind of way and I replied, I'll bet you won't try that on me again. Meaning, if it's OK for the Daily Times to walk around the room and take pictures, so can I.

Mike called over the Police Officer in the room and ask that I be removed immediately as I had just threatened him. He repeated what had happened and the Officer asked me to step outside. I did so immediately and as we spoke, the Officer felt really bad about what he had to do and told me that Mike had made his decision and I had to leave, so I did.

The show was unbelievable, even to the point Tim Chaney threatened to sue the City if they illegally spent the Developer reimbursement money as well as the TIFF money. Looks like this isn't over yet.

More importantly, Mike Dunn barked, attacked and went on the war path against Debbie Campbell about Sassafras and other items they were about to vote on and at the very end the SOB recused himself. He didn't recuse himself during the sale of his version of how this is the right thing to do, he just recused himself during the vote, in which he had already sold everyone on beforehand anyway. A real MAN would have recused himself from ANY conversation about the entire issue.

Just remember Folks, when it comes time to vote in some 5 months, remember who screwed you out of millions of dollars. Might I also add to Barrie Tilghman. You got up there and started ranting about how the City would look credit wise if they didn't pass the reimbursement money. Look you Idiot! The Zoo can't buy from Sisco because the City refused to pay within the Net 30 days ALL customers must pay. Therefore, the Zoo has to purchase all their groceries for the animals at full retail price at the local grocery stores! Don't go walking around like the City of Salisbury has excellent credit because that's complete BS!
