The corrupt officials who run Pocomoke City may talk a good game about “Open Government” there is a complete line of BS on the Mayor’s web blog about it.
THE FACT IS I HAVE TO FOIA AND USE PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT LAWS TO FORCE THESE CROOKS TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC INFORMATION PROGRAM MANDATED BY PUBLIC LAW:
I would like to obtain a copy of the ‘public information program regarding the purposes and application of this chapter’ as required by Section 37-3(D)
People of Pocomoke WAKE UP!!!
The “election” today is a farce until the un-elected dictator of Pocomoke City is removed from Office.
Thats ripe the people have to force the government to provide copies of a ‘Public Information’ program MANDATED BY LAW & STATUTE FOR OVER 25-YEARS!!!

I did not want to clog the front page with a mile long post.
Below is a copy of the actual FOIA which is also published on the Tattler:
RE: MARYLAND PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT REQUEST
Dear Ms. Justice:
This is a request under the Maryland Public Information Act, State Government article 10-611 to 628. I am making this request on behalf of myself, an individual who is a resident of and real property owner in the City of Pocomoke City and as publisher of a political website whose purpose is exposing corruption and incompetence in the Pocomoke City Government.
1) Section 37-3 of the Municipal Code of Pocomoke City states that the City has an ‘Ethics Review Coordinator’ with a variety of responsibilities amongst which are creation of forms for financial disclosure and oversight of reporting, who is this person?
2) I would like to obtain a copy of the forms required by Section 37-3(A)
3) I would like to obtain a copy of the ‘public information program regarding the purposes and application of this chapter’ as required by Section 37-3(D) which should be easy to produce since adoption of this ordinance was 10-21-1983.
§ 37‑5. Financial disclosure.
A. The city officials, board members and employees and candidates for offices listed in Subsection B of this section shall file annually no later than thirty (30) days prior to the first Tuesday in April of each calendar year during which they hold office a statement with the Review Coordinator disclosing any gifts in excess of twenty‑five dollars ($25.) in value, or a series of gifts totaling one hundred dollars ($100.) or more, received during the preceding calendar year from any person having a contract with the city or any person regulated by their agency. The statement shall identify the donor of the gift and its approximate retail value at the time of receipt.
B. The following officials and employees are required to file the disclosure statement:
(1) Mayor.
(2) City Council.
(3) City Manager.
(4) City Clerk.
(5) Assistant City Clerk.
(6) Department heads.
(7) Members of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
(8) Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
C. Candidates for elective offices listed in Subsection B of this section shall file statements consistent with the requirements of Subsection A of this section at the time that they file their certificate of candidacy.
D. All city officials and employees subject to this section and candidates for elective office to positions subject to this section shall file a statement with the Review Coordinator disclosing any interest or employment, the holding of which would require disqualification from participation pursuant to Subsection A of this section. This statement shall be filed whenever an anticipated action of the local official or employee will present a potential conflict with his or her personal interest and then sufficiently in advance of the action to provide adequate disclosure to the public.
E. Disclosure statements filed pursuant to this section shall be maintained by the Review Coordinator as public records available for public inspection and copying.
4) Per section E. of the code written above I would like to review these documents for the past ten years and the past twenty years for City Manager.
5) In addition to the required forms including those for 2007 since we are past the due date, I would like to inspect a copy or file of any and all complaints and their determinations, filed pursuant to this public law in Section 37-3(C).
We anticipate that copies of some records may be requested and ask that any fees for copying be waived as the documents will be provided to the public on the Internet for citizen review.
Please call or e-mail me with a good time or times that these documents may be inspected.
Sincerely,
William F. Burke, Publisher
