What started out as National Joe-A-Graphic ultimately evolved into Salisbury News. The big story was the illegal activity at the Salisbury Waste Water Treatment Plant.
Illegal dumping of Construction Materials, illegal wells drilled and no permits and who could ever forget the illegal Sludge Pit?
Who will ever forget Mayor Barrie Tilghman stating she wanted a "NO FLY ZONE" over the WWTP after I showed pictures from the air. ROTFLMAO!
Yes, Barrie Tilghman created the monster, Joe Albero. After lying about the Zoo and covering up facts there like there was no tomorrow, once I exposed the WWTP it was all over for Barrie Tilghman, John Jacobs and Jim Rapp at that point.
The photos didn't lie and once the truth started coming out, Joe Albero all of a sudden started gaining credibility locally. The Mayor tried twisting it for years but in the end people have now come to trust and believe the evidence I was producing over Barrie Tilghman saying it just isn't so.
Ultimately Barrie finally admitted they did in fact break the law and they were doing everything they could to get back into compliance with the MDE. Of course, the MDE was forcing the issue with fines and so forth and that's why she was following their demands.
Nevertheless, this is where it all started Folks. Were you around back then? I can remember starting my Blog and getting 25 to 50 hits a day and thinking, OMG, people are listening! Look at us today with hits in the thousands per day!
Let's also not forget the reporting that came out of Kenny Beck back then! Kenny won a National Award on the WWTP Story and I'll never forget his telephone call to me immediately following saying "WE" had just won an award. He is a class act and he is missed dearly around here.
So Happy Anniversary Barrie Tilghman! Just spreading the LOVE!

ReplyDelete"The Monster Was Created 2 Years Ago TODAY!"
this monster was not created 2 years ago today. it may have been brought to our attention 2 years ago today, but it was created several years ago and has been covered up ever since.
And so much more has been brought to our attention by Joe since that date. He has worked endless hours trying to keep Barrie honest (an oxymoron to use the last two words together in a sentence!)
ReplyDeleteShe runs from the truth.
Joe
ReplyDeleteI may not always agree with you but I do think you are a very useful source of information. If nothing else you get the public stirred up. Something that the Daily Times hardly ever does. I thank you for sticking your neck out where no one else will. Happy Anniversary.

You think the mare will propose a "Joe Albero" day for the city? ROFLMFAO
ReplyDeleteAnd here we are 2 years later getting ready to dump more sh!t into the river by a 72" pipe to be put by Market Street. I wonder what Donald Shafer calls us now.
ReplyDeleteAnon 8:03 is right. This monster began way back when Barrie first took over as Mayor. Don't you all remember that there was several of us tax payers upset and ran a suite against her for wiring over $16,000 to a FOB for legal work that was questionable, aqainst the wishes of the Council VP, since the Council President was out of town at the time? Yes, this monster began back in about 2000.

Joe Albero, a mild mannered entrepreneur turned blogger, became the watchdog of the Citizens of Salisbury and became immortalized in the hearts of many respectable citizens fighting the evil corruption of the dastardly Barrie Tilghman, the wretched three of Comegy, Louweasle, and Shannie, and the rest of the vile henchmen....
ReplyDeleteSo when does the movie come out?
