Have You Ever Had A Prong Shoved Up Your..........

Maybe that's why Comegys and Tilghman named this project the North Prong?

I was in complete disbelief last night when I showed up at this meeting and saw a bunch of people but then learned these were property owners and not citizens of Salisbury. I then came to learn that they had held a property owners meeting earlier that day, so they didn't even need to be at this one. If they hadn't shown up, guess what? There would have been three people in the room outside reporters. This means none of YOU were there. I can't call YOU concerned citizens because obviously YOU don't give a crap.

Nevertheless, the reporting goes on. I sat back and listened to these Consultants go on and on about other Towns & City's, NONE of which compared to Salisbury, NONE! They went on to talk about how their project was going to clean the River up by improving run off by 20%. Uh Oh, they forgot Joe Albero was in the room. You know, the guy that attends every meeting in Salisbury and knows when to pull out the shovel to clear my way through all the horse sh!t!

At the very moment they asked if there was any questions I sat back for a few seconds, (not realizing they had already held this exact meeting with property owners earlier that day) and no one raised their hand, so mine went up. My first question referenced the River. I said, are you actually trying to tell me that you're going to clean up the River based on storm water management? Yes. I replied, that's what I thought you said. I said, are you familiar with the two new storm water run off pipes being run into the River nearby that will run storm water directly from roads and neighborhoods straight into the River, one of which will be six foot in diameter? Oh, they stood there in awe with NOTHING to say to that, so I went on. I then said, you DO realize this is tidal water, right? They kind of stood there looking pretty stupid once again with no reply, so I went on. I said, so you're trying to impress upon me that just your area of the River is going to be beautiful and clean, right? Because I see thousands of cars parking in your new area, not the 50 or less that are there now. I see traffic problems like there's no tomorrow, but things will be better for the community? I also brought up the WWTP overflows and just how exactly did they think that smell wasn't going to come to their area? NO RESPONSE!

I moved on to some other topics I wanted to make sure EVERYONE was aware of. I said, let's talk about another topic you're so proud of. Let's talk about the TIF! Do YOU really believe any taxpayer in this City is going to fall for the fact that you guys want to go after more grant money and more TIF's Mr. Comegys? Gary started laughing and leaning over to John Pick, trying to impress everyone else in the room that Joe Albero was stupid, not Gary.

Quite frankly Mr. Comegys, IF you ever pull that c rap on me again I'm going to immediately call you out on it and embarrass you right then and there. I'm going to challenge you for trying to insult me and then let's see how much you stutter then? You used that I'm a stupid eastern shore boy crap all the time. However, it's time to show people just how stupid you actually are.

That's right Folks, they want to use TIF money to rebuild that are. Comegys yelled out, "WE DESERVE THIS. THAT'S RIGHT, SALIBURY DESERVES THIS ARE TO BE CLEANED UP." OK Gary, since when are YOU a property owner of this area? YOU don't deserve sh!t, IMO! Oh, I can't wait for you to run for Mayor because we're going to post every day a video of you stumbling, stuttering and looking like the complete Idiot that you are.

Gary went on to say, "The question shouldn't be what CAN we do there. Look what we got there!" WE? I'll bet there are a ton of neighborhoods you wouldn't choose to live in Gary but guess what? They pay their taxes and are just as much a part of the community as your neighborhood. Same goes for ALL of these property owners. YOU see an advantage by throwing them out of this area because it's just now what Gary Comegys and the Mayor want. Well guess what, MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE, you control freaks! What message do you send out to the business community when you say, we don't like the way it looks so we're going to rally the troops together and boot all your asses out of here simply because property that NO ONE WOULD BUY YEARS AGO is now worth something and it's time to get rid of you.

I expressed to the Consultants that Salisbury is NOT Rockville or Baltimore. They have a north, south, east and west, Salisbury stops in Ocean City heading east. You will never encourage big business to Salisbury, period. The Airport is useless to a big corporation. Freight Companies don't want to come here because it's the end of the earth. Many may not understand this but take for example a company from the Mid West shipping an entire trailer load of material to a company here. Once they unload, what freight are they picking up to make it worth their while to go on to the next delivery? Do they head all the way back to the Mid West with NOTHING? Yep, they sure do, unless they contract something from Baltimore to run back with.

Anyhow, Gary Comegys should be re nick named the TIF Meister. Notice how the Daily Times didn't say any of this in their article. They also want to use section 108 money, whatever that is? There's so much more to say but this Post is getting too long. The taxpayers of Salisbury better get some kind of control over this Comegys guy because the Mayor and Gary are a disaster in the making. You want another TIF, don't attend these meetings. As for the Consultants, they're full of crap but that's their job. Oh, it works everywhere else. I have to end with this. I challenged Gary Comegys and John Pick to tell me ONE project, just ONE, that was a success under this administration. I stated the Downtown Plaza has failed. The River Walk, failed! The old Mall, failed! I stated that it is the management of this City that can't do anything right and there's no way the taxpayers would support yet another financial failure. So it looks better, SO WHAT? I said, you're now $71,000,000.00 in debt when just a few years ago you were only $18,000,000.00 in debt, how's it working for you?

If I feel up to it later I'll add more to this project. For now, you should have been there. It was a sight to see.
