Today's Grapevine

No more great leaders

Salisbury and the Eastern Shore were defined by great leaders like Dick Hazel, Frank Perdue, Paul Martin and Wayne Gilchrest. Now we are faced with Joe Albero, Mike Lewis, Debbie Campbell and Andy Harris. What happened?

Not for nothing Barrie, I'd say the people you mentioned above might not ever be matched. However, we're the best everyone else has left.

If this a--hole is calling Gilchrest a great leader he/she needs their head examined . Then to include Wayne with the likes of Perdue or Hazel is a disgrace to truly GREAT People . I'm Sorry Joe I don't Get it , the people around here say they want the truth and when you give it to them on this blog they try to slam you . Then when some leader like Campbell steps up and tries to help in a new way for the community she's a trouble maker . All because the old school jerks don't really want change , which in most cases is for the better . Keep up the good work I believe this blog is making a difference oh and by the way I am a FROM HERE .

I would bet that the 4 great leaders in years gone by would love having Mike Lewis as their sheriff. Sheriff Lewis has taken the ball and run with it and I can't figure out why some people try to bring him down. He is doing an outstanding job and he is on the job 24/7.

The Shore is so delusioned that you seem to think the previous leaders were so great..... now tell me, where did they get you? what did they get done? all I see is corruption and the town of Salisbury going down the toilet. If it wasnt for SU; you'd be a ghost town.

Let's see, someone is publicly slamming some of the best people to come along in ages. Do I agree? Welll...

Debbie Campbell-horrible woman. I can't understand why she just won't hush up and let the city be raped for every dime it has and allow every square inch of land be developed with no plan. Let's punish her by forcing her to sit in a room with Barrie, Louise and the rest of the flying monkeys. WAIT, she already is being punished in just that way!

Joe Albero-Nasty Nasty man! How dare he care enough to take all of his time and resources to uncover corruption and crime in a city and county that he doesn't even live in??? How DARE he? most of us have lived here for years with our heads in the sand and we LIKED it that way! Let's punish him by giving him so much to report on that he never sees his wife or family...wait, that's already happening.

Mike Lewis-Oh Don't Get Me Started on this one! I mean the gall of the man to be hired to do a job and actually doing what he's paid to do!!!??? I'm sure that all those drug runners, gang members and thieves weren't really breaking the law!! Sheriff Lewis is probably manufacturing crime just so he can pretend to be doing his job so well...yeah, that's what he's doing! Everyone knows there's no gang activity in the Salisbury/Wicomico area...Barrie and Webster told us so! Let's punish Mike by Forcing him to work hand in hand with the MSP and other agencies....oh yeah, he already does.

I don't know all that much about that Andy Harris, but any politician who puts out a weekly letter on that nasty Alberos website has to be hiding something...I just know it! (I think Barrie told me). Open Government? I know I don't need it, I like being taxed to death!! I didn't really need to eat today anyway.

**Disclaimer: For those of you who don't recognize venemous sarcasm, you just got a fine example.

My guess:

If Ms. Campbell sat on the County Council that landfill mess would have been discovered long before now.

Those bashing Mike Lewis are probably the "bank" behind the street corner dope dealers. Wassamatter, you skeered you will get caught? You should be afraid, be very afraid. Mike will find you and you will go to jail.
