where is the news conference being held at?
ReplyDeleteSir:
ReplyDeleteWhy is this "big story" so important that they can't wait until the media event?
Joe I've just recently started reading your blog and I have to say your doing a great job! I was born and raised on the eastern shore (I moved away several years ago). But I'm glad you’re exposing a lot of the government corruption in Salisbury and making its citizens aware of it. You’re doing the community a huge service. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteRay does not live with his parents that is the office in hte picture

ReplyDeleteIt's a big story unless you don't care that several hundreds of thousands of your tax dollars are being stolen.
It shows that they would rather wait until everything is spoon fed to them instead of actually being journalists. After everyone has gone into damage control it's hard to know if you are getting the whole story from a news conference.
Who cares where he lives! He will probably be staying with mom and dad! He has been dumping raw sewage for years in willards and other locations. He should not have been released and his ass should fry!
ReplyDeleteAs far as dumping raw sewage on the property anywhere, I'll have you know that the EPA does soil checks on a very regular basis. All over the property's Ray owns. It has and will not test positive for sewage!!!

Who said anything about dumping on his Ray's property? No body in their right mind would dump shit on their own property, DUH!! Quit defending the criminal, Joe posted pics of his illegal dumping.
Thanks for the good work Joe
Hey Ray! Ever heard of soap on a rope? Your going to need plenty where you will be going. Your nothing but a common criminal and have been ever since you opened up shop!
ReplyDeleteMaybe on the property he owns but how about the property his father owns? Don't give me any shit about him dumping on farmland. I've seen his trucks out in fields in Powellville dumping when other trucks went down to Somerset county to dump their loads because the tipping fees at Salisbury were so high. Talk smack all you want but don't run that shit to those of us that know the facts. There are photos of his trucks dumping. Now what???

ReplyDeleteI don't think the charges were that of dumping, but of stealing.
I can't believe how many stupid people live in this county. He stole from all of us and yet some of you idiots defend this bastard.
ReplyDeleteBack in the day he would be hung from the nearest tree. At least there is one Lewis we can count on in this county. I say we elect Mike Lewis to run the whole county and every division in it.
if the epa does soil checks,they are not doing the right spots this man has been doing this for years..
ReplyDeletei wonder how many times he has been in to mike banks's dumping into his compost stuff or what ever goes on back in there.
ReplyDeletejoe this what u like to do on your blog that fine u should know your facts 1 tank is heat oil 4 the bldg that legal ok tank 2 is fuel 4 the trucks that legal the red one is a old tank off a septic truck that legal 2 ok the the wall applies 2 the very big 1000 gals plus size thank you
ReplyDeleteanon 8:43 what are you trying to say. Mike who?
ReplyDeleteFOOD FOR THOUGHT. THOSE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULD NOT CAST THE FIRST STONE...RAY LEWIS WOULD TAKE THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK TO HELP A FRIEND...KNOW HIM PERSONALLY.THIS SALISBURY NEWS WEBSITE IS VICIOUS AND UNCALLED FOR AND REALLY NOTHING BUT A JOKE..

Once again, people don't have their facts straight. The posts Joe posted were incorrect. That was not one of Ray's trucks or tractor that they showed in the field in Parsonsburg. Ray DOES NOT dump illegal sewage ANYWHERE!!! Not his property or anyone else's. You must not know the EPA. They have checked on Ray for years. They have followed trucks and all. They found no sewage because that doesn't happen!!!
ReplyDeleteRay did a very bad thing. I agree with that, but come on.
anon 8:43 what are you trying to say. Mike who?
ReplyDeleteThey said the name, Mike Banks.
If the EPA has been following him for years why are his fuel tanks sitting on the ground instead of enclosed as required by law? Go to hell. He's a criminal from the word go. He has dumped shit in fields in Powellville for years. Tell it to the judge, I won't fall for your crybaby bs.
ReplyDeleteI will defend Ray til the very end and stand beside. You don't know what your talking about concerning the farm his DAD owns, his Dad does not own that property, Ray does. So there's your first mistake. Number 2, the property you are referring to isn't even in Powellville, it's in Willards. Ray did a stupid, stupid thing. Yes he did. I agree and can't believe he did it, but his family are not involved in this.
ReplyDeleteMike Lewis came to Ray's parents house at 3:00 am looking for Ray. Ray was called and talked to Mike Lewis by phone and agreed to meet at the sheriffs office.
He knows and regrets deeply what he has done!!! But leave his family out of it. Get your facts straight! And give Ray his day in court.
Hey, how about we talk about the people at the county who were selling the fuel to him. You all seem to forget that!
ReplyDeleteStupid or not...he was PAYING for it!!!! Bad as it is and it's bad. He wasn't just stealing it!! The real people to point the finger at are the guys who were selling the stuff in the first place!!
ReplyDeleteRay is a good guy and has built his business for many years...LEGALLY.
ReplyDeleteJoes pictures were wrong. You all seem to forget about that!
ReplyDeleteThey said the activity had been going on for a year.
ReplyDeleteThey all stole our money, our kids money, our county's future. Every single person involved took something from the people of this county. If you are charged with $500,000.00 that means at least double was really taken. Let us all remember that some of the future was lost by every single person who knew or had a hand in it. The court day will come..
ReplyDeleteoh yeah Ray is such a good guy. He threw you a few bucks here and there, did you a favor here and there, yada yada yada, what a great guy he is. I personally have never commented on his parents and I won't. I don't know them and seriously doubt they had any knowledge. Unless your father is a crook why on earth would you even want him to know you are stealing everything not nailed down?
ReplyDeleteWhen did Ray Lewis get permits to dump grease on fields? Exactly what year were they issued?
FOR ALL THOSE WHO ARE DEFENDING HIM YOU MAY HAVE BEEN PAID OFF! FACT: THE MAN IS A THEFT AND GOT CAUGHT SO JUST BECAUSE YOU HE IS A GOOD FRIEND TO SOME IT IS OK. OH BY THE WAY TO ALL HIS SUPPORTERS YOUR FRIEND TOOK YOUR MONEY TO!FACT: I PERSONALLY HAVE SEEN HIM PUMP A SEPTIC TANK AND THEN APPLY IT TO THE LAND SO THAT EPA MESS IS BULL! WHEN YOU PAY OFF EVERYBODY PEOPLE TEND TO FORGET. REGARDLESS WHETHER THE OTHER OFFICIALS WERE INVOLVED WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RAY! HE STORED THE STUFF AWAY OH BUT THAT IS OK! DEFEND HIM IF YOU WANT BUT HE STOLE FROM EVERYONE! THANK ALOT RAY!
ReplyDeleteRay did a terrible thing- that point has been made over and over again. The question now is who at the county helped him and how did it go undetected for so long? Where are the internal controls?
ReplyDeleteFACT: Ray had all the stuff at his place not the county people that helped him! FACT: RAY had and used the fuel,paid the county help,used the tires and all other stolen equipment! But some people say what about the other people involved! They will get it to! RAY ALLEN LEWIS is a theft period! But he is so nice of a guy! FOCUS on RAY! SUPPOSE to be one of the best business man around!? Please! I saw his trucks running today with the counties tires and fuel being used! KEEP ON SUPPORTING RAY HE IS THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMost of you don't even know Ray, so how do you have these so called facts? B/c it is on the news does not make it factual. For those of you who do not know, the landfill is self-funded. That means it is not funded with tax dollars, but the dump funds it. How's that for a fact. You are correct in the sense that Ray paid for these things, so who is the real theif? The county workers that stole these things... I wish you people had something better to do than to bash a person whom you know nothing about. Ray is a respectable, hard working person. Until Ray is found guilty, GET A LIFE!
