I'm not going to show their post. I'll simply ask you to click on their link above and look for their second post titled, "Ten Reasons To Live In Delmar, Delaware." # 10 is IMO the #1 reason!

I'd add,

11. Delmar doesn't have a WWTP like Salisbury!

Barrie Tilghman Is A Liar And A Scam Artist!

The MDE asked numerous times if they could place "test wells" near the Sludge Pit and Barrie Tilghman refused to respond. That's a fact.

Barrie Tilghman was quoted as saying, "If we believe that there was any evidence about ANY concern about leakage or any compromise, we would be the first to do whatever it took to get the sludge out of there and take care of it."

ANY EVIDENCE? DEE, DEE, DEEEE! How about a liner that was guaranteed for only 30 days and is still in place for 20 years now. ARE YOU THAT MENTALLY CHALLENGED?

Barrie Tilghman, Dave Winslow and John Jacobs lied about how long a guarantee there was on that liner at least two different times. They had NO permit for the liner, even though the Daily Times made it sound as if they did. They had a permit for 30 DAYS, 20 years ago!

The City of Salisbury HID THIS SLUDGE PIT from the MDE for years and years and years! I know for a personal fact that I had to personally, (via cell phones) direct the Inspectors to that area in which they were illegally storing human feces on the ground, without plastic liners underneath it as well as the Sludge Pit. I don't give a damn what The Daily Times says or anyone else, I have first hand knowledge on this matter, unlike ANY other News Source.

The Times brightens their article by stating they're pleased because the fine was reduced by $15,000.00. They don't say why they're happy and or the Mayor but I'll state it for them and help them out a bit. THAT'S $15,00.00 LESS THE TAX PAYERS HAVE TO PUT OUT FOR THEIR LIES AND ILLEGAL ACTIVITY! That's what's good about the reduction.

Here's the Big one though. Barrie Tilghman said, Granting the City till July also allows the City to dispose of the sludge conservatively through its wastewater treatment facility, rather than have to pay thousands in expenses for special equipment to remove the sludge expediently. OK Barrie, if it were so easy to do, why hasn't the City removed it for the past 20 years? Huh? Huh? Huh?

"The sludge is very dry. The City generally tries to pump the water as it fell, rather than let it sit and get sloppy." Uh, Oh, isn't that what part of the fines against the City were for Barrie? The Pit was overflowing and there was VERY CLEAR evidence of that and the MDE immediately forced the City to remove I believe it was 2 feet off the top at the time. Pushkar, (MDE) then said, "The fact that it is so dry, it is going to cause a problem." OK Folks, who do you trust here? A Guy who's professional experience is telling you there's going to be a problem or a Housewife of a Mayor who talks out of her a** most of the time?

They go on to say. Tilghman said the City is pumping water back in, and the sludge is being removed quickly. OK, since when did you file with the MDE to remove the current sludge? I read the documents to state differently and this quote might just put the Mayor in some serious trouble. Is the City removing the sludge already?

Folks, the bottom line will obviously be what the MDE finds after they remove the sludge. You can't bury a plastic bag in the ground, dig it out 20 years later and find that it hasn't torn or had something puncture it. I'm in the plastic manufacturing industry and I can clearly say with full confidence, this issue is going to get much bigger once they remove the sludge and find they did contaminate the soil/river.

The fact that the Mayor refused to respond by allowing the MDE to place several test wells in the ground clearly shows they have something big to hide. She's run for cover again. She's lied again to the public and when this is all said and done, this will be used against her in Court.

So sadly the reduction of the fine down to $10,000.00 will be short lived, I'm sorry to say. The citizens should look at this behavior with very keen eyes and ask Gary Comegys, Lynn Cathcart and Mike Dunn how they feel about this exact situation to show you who you'll be voting for in a few months for Council. Should they support the Mayor and be wrong, FIRE THEM! Then once the Mayor is found wrong about the liner, FIRE HER TOO!
