For a case in Maryland’s Court of Special Appeals, the rules provide that “the
prevailing party is entitled to costs,” unless the Court orders an allocation
among the parties. Normally, the costs do not include any attorney’s fees, but
that’s a moot matter because Mr. Leer didn’t need or have an attorney in order
to beat the City, which has paid almost $12,000 in legal fees for that case
plus another $6,000 for the case that Mr. Leer also won in the Wicomico County
Circuit Court.
In this instance the "costs" include the expense incurred by Mr. Leer to
reproduce the necessary copies of his brief, and there may be other items as
well. It has been reported that the Court has ordered the City to pay those
costs in full, without any allocation.
If that's so, the total expense paid by the City in this one matter as a result
of Barrie Tilghman’s attempt to “get even” with Mr. Leer for supporting someone
who ran against her in 1998 will approach if not exceed $20,000.00
Barrie's salary is $25,000 per year, and it should be cut in half for this.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS, AGAIN, MR. LEER, FOR LETTING US KNOW ABOUR BARRIE'S GRUDGE AGAINST YOU!
ReplyDelete11:38 -
ReplyDeleteShe should have to pay it all back!
How can Barrie whine about Campbell and Cohen asking for important legal advice when she uses the City Attorney for her personal vendettas?
ReplyDeleteShe has also used the City Attorney to gut the 4 to 2 laws and provide legal service for the landlords.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that Bubba Comegys ("R Necks Mare") would be any better than Barrie, but he would think twice about this type of public abuse. Let's hope we don't have to find out.
ReplyDeleteI say Barrie's salary should pay this bill in its entirety!
ReplyDeleteIf the Mare did nothing else right than gut the 4 to2 regulations then she should be commended. I seem to think the entire system was set up to punish the college students, it is punishing the property owners instead.
ReplyDeleteWhen you purchase property near a university you have to expect the students to be your neighbors. Just like when you purchase property near farms, the livestock and air quality is a result of the farm life.
The students should be punished for their actions not the property owners. Eventually the investors are going to continue to purchase properties and if they can't get the monthly rent they need from families then they will make them Section 8 or let the Mexican families move in. Try proving that they are not related.
I've seen this same situation happen in other areas where I have lived and it backfired big time for the homeowners in these districts. You reap what you sow.
Now have at me!
These so-called legislators that keep wanting bend or break rules and laws should have to pay for the legal fee's for doing so, it doesn't benefit the city taxpayers in any way. I hope Mr. Leer does consider a civil lawsuit against the mayor for threatening him and retaliation for not supporting her as a candidate, it's his civil right to support who he wants. A jury of his peers would make sure we broke her ass of every penny she's mismanaged in this city.
ReplyDeleteCheers to Mr. Leer; jeers to Barrie Tilghman.
ReplyDeleteI am glad Stu has shed some light on the problem that plagues local politics, people using government as a tool to satisfy their own personal agendas. If the city and the county would focus on serving for the betterment of the community this quite possibly could be the best place to live in America.
ReplyDeleteBubba WOULDN'T be any better than Barrie because
ReplyDeleteBARRIE = GARY
and
GARY = BARRIE !
And he only gives a bleep about public perception when it's tied to election time.
Throw the bum out!
Gary Comegys will do just that, think twice and then do what those that pull his strings tell him to do.
ReplyDeleteDon't be fooled. Gary = Barrie
If Bubba follows Barrie as mayor, I'm outtahere.
ReplyDeleteBarrie Tilghman really is "responsible" for this and should have to pay for it.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's it...I'm sellin it all and moving to Bishops Head!
ReplyDeleteI agrees with one of the commentors that said Barrie should pay these costs for Stu Leer out of her salry as mayor, which went up to $25,000 recently. That should just about cover the costs.
ReplyDeleteA. Goetz
If Stu Leer was the only one, it would still be bad, but there are many more who have paid dearly with the wrath of Mare Barrie for not being an FOB. She has been a spoiled brat all of her life, and always gets what she wants. Matt deserves our pity. God help anyone who crosses her.
ReplyDeletefarm boy
Wanna bet that we will soon be told by Barrie that Wilber advised her that the Circuit Court judge screwed up the case and that it would be a slam dunk for the City on appeal in Annapolis?
ReplyDeleteBarrie:
ReplyDeleteHow come you don't say "I'm responsible" anymore?
Hey, WHY do you insist on calling Gary Comegys "Bubba"?
ReplyDeleteHow bout a name more apropos
How bout "Fxx Fxxx"
How bout "Dumb Sxxx"
How bout "waste of Spxxx"
How bout "lying Sxxx Head"
I just want you to know how much that man disgusts me. Words cant describe that sleazy waste of a human. How can sombody like that be respected by anyone. I think even my dog wouldn't waste its time pissing on that idiot.
Your Friend...Hotpants
P.S. Gary, If you do run for mayor, expect me to step up to the plate and expose you for what you really are...YOU MORON
If Barrie makes 25k per yr.
ReplyDeleteThats about $10.00 per hour at 50 hours a week, which I guess is about how many hours a Mayor works.
WOW $ 10.00 Per Hour.
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR !!!!!!!!!!
From a carefree, worry free, sane and happy $ 14.72 per hour store cashier
"I've seen this same situation happen in other areas where I have lived and it backfired big time for the homeowners in these districts. You reap what you sow.
ReplyDeleteNow have at me!
1:23 PM"
I don't want to have at you. I want you to share where you lived and how it backfired big time. I'd like to find out more about that.
My family and many others have lived here for decades, long before the university got big. I get tired of hearing "you shouldn't have bought near a college."
Like so many, you seem to make this about college students anyway. It's really about turning our city into rental hell. Students are the victims of crime due to this being rental hell, even as their influx was the catalyst for the areas around the college becoming rental hells. Not their fault, but they are an unwitting, contributing factor.
Don't forget to post the names of those places you lived.
Anon 1:23 sounds like Donnie Williams talking to Debbie Campbell. If you don't cooperate, we'll stick Mexicans and Blacks in your neighborhood. To which Ms. Campbell replied, if they're families, we will welcome them.
ReplyDeleteEventually the investors are going to continue to purchase properties and if they can't get the monthly rent they need from families then they will make them Section 8 or let the Mexican families move in. Try proving that they are not related.
ReplyDeleteWords similar to these came right out of Richard Insleys mouth, not to long ago when threatening the residents of the Camden area. What a guy...NOT
"A jury of his peers"
ReplyDeleteThat would be her peers as she would be the defendant.
Good grief!
Gordo, Bubba, weezie, Shamie, cathetercart, Alletsee, himsley, red oleander,... I could go on.
"investors are going to continue to purchase properties and if they can't get the monthly rent they need from families"
ReplyDeleteWhaddayou mean rental they NEED?
Don't you mean rental they want?
If rent were cheaper, it's possible all units could be rented out. Wouldn't that be better than unoccupied units?
i'd rather have a house full of mexicans next door than the crack dealers and hookers on the streets. have an open season on them
