Comegys Has A Site Too


With all the commotion about the Campbell/Cohen web site, I thought I'd share Gary Comegy’s web site? Not only did it fail to properly identify itself during his campaign, but it’s still online! http://garycomegys.com

POLLITT ORDERS COUNTY FLAGS TO HALF-STAFF ON FRIDAY IN MEMORY OF RICHARD F. HAZEL

For Immediate Release

February 21, 2008

Salisbury, MD


Wicomico County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr., has ordered all Wicomico County flags to be flown at half-staff on Friday, February 22nd in memory of Richard F. Hazel, prominent area philanthropist and businessman.

Mr. Pollitt said, “We shall probably never see the like of Dick Hazel again. He was almost as famous for his humility as he was for his generosity. His record of giving to worthy causes and people in need is truly remarkable. He has left an indelible mark of goodwill and charity on Wicomico County that should never be forgotten.”

So Why Not Stand Proud & Say, I'm A Democrat?


Last night while I attended the Democrat Club of Wicomico County Meeting, President Jim Ireton stood proud sporting this Bumper Sticker they had for sale for anyone to purchase.

Me personally, I would rather sport a bumper sticker that says, I am a Democrat or I am a Republican. However, to each his own, I guess?

The meeting had around 14 people in attendance, including Guest Speaker Mayor Barrie Tilghman. I did hear Mr. Ireton announce that almost 50% more Democrats made it to the Polls during the Primary and I have to admit, that's some damn good results. They should be proud. ALL American's should be partaking in these elections and the Democrats certainly did a fine job pulling their team together to vote.

As for the purchase of these bumper stickers, I didn't see one of them get sold. You know, the economy and all. LOL

The Daily Times Believes the "C" Word Is A Part Of Freedom Of Speech


A commenter writes:

"So I called the Daily Times because I am furious about the comments from NotNuts referring to Debbie and Terry as "C"'s and "B"'s. "Brian" 410 749 7171extension 226, does NOT think that the "C" word, you know rhymes with punt is particularly offensive, certainly not worth any admonishment to NotNuts. However they did slap ComeHere for his linking to the blog site. I asked how he would like his wife being referred to as a "C" . It is not relevant, this is America with freedom of speech etc. But you can't post a link to a website? It is absolutely despicable that a commenter refers to any female this way."

Gary Comegys Whines, Shanie Shields Babbles

For the second day, Salisbury citizens were treated to more whining and foolish babbling by two members of Mayor Barrie Tilghman's "council leadership". What was initially amusing has become a source of pity for those of us who aren't governed by this local brain trust.

It seems that Salisbury council members Gary Comegys and Shanie Shields are upset because the two council members who consistently listen to the citizens of Salisbury are reaching out and willing to interact with the folks who do the working, the living, and (unfortunately) the dying in Barrieland. Councilwomen Debbie Campbell and Terry Cohen have printed a newsletter, set up a website, and (sin of all sins) are going to actually meet with the great unwashed and listen to what they have to say.

Comegys is right! Those two women should be publicly flogged!

Of course Comegys would NEVER do anything like that. When he takes time to meet with citizens, he meets with the people who REALLY COUNT, like special interest groups. Voters shouldn't forget his now infamous meeting at the Fountains with area developers. Comegys and (then Council President) Mike Dunn didn't invite the public. No, that's a waste of time. Of course we should never forget Dunn's last comments to the Camden Neighborhood Association - "We won, you lost, now get over it!" This typifies the feelings of the now defunct "Dream Team" towards those that actually live in Salisbury.

I wonder if there are any audio or video records of that meeting?

Shields, for once, poses an interesting question - "Why won't they (Campbell and Cohen) reach out to the rest of the council?" I think that the answer is quite clear. How do you "reach out" to people who's minds are already made up? The "nouveau Dream Team" (NDT) of Comegys, Shields and Louise Smith are merely a rubber stamp for the Empress of Barrieland. The "council leadership" has rarely failed to give Tilghman exactly what she asks for. On the few occasions where the Mayor was routed it has only been because Campbell and Cohen have forced the NDT to publicly own their actions. The Mayor's 10% Water and Sewer rate increase is a case in point.

I have only one criticism of Daily Times reporter Greg Latshaw's coverage of this matter. He should have asked Shields if she feels that the newsletter produced by Wicomico County Councilwoman Sheree Sample-Hughes, as well as her quarterly constituent service meetings, should be criticized as decisively as the actions of Campbell and Cohen. Of course the answer would be no! Why? Because Shields is a hypocrite of the highest order.

Many, if not the vast majority, of Wicomico citizens respect Mrs. Sample-Hughes for her efforts to communicate and reach out to her constituents. Talk to people in her district, black or white. They appreciate the job she does and her efforts on their behalf.

Yet for some bizarre reason, meeting and communicating with constituents somehow becomes "evil" upon crossing the Barrieland borders? Of course, what can we expect?

Is Mayor Barrie Tilghman Lying To The Public?


Last night at the Democratic Club Meeting Mayor Barrie Tilghman released, (for the second time publicly) that the spill started on the 7th and was contained on the morning of the 8th.

That being said, I immediately wrote that down in my notes. The Daily Times stated clearly in one of their articles that the spill started the morning of the 8th and was contained within 20 minutes.

I was originally told it did in fact start on the evening of the 7th and it was contained by the morning of the 8th. I even have a message on my answering service describing an interview with Mr. John Pick where he explained how the pipe burst and the water was spraying up like a fountain.

Now, that being said, my mind tells me that these people went home from working all day at the WWTP, the pipe burst, the sewage was coming out of the pipe like a fountain ALL NIGHT and when they got in the next morning, OH SH!T! They fixed the pipe and reported it to, well, who knows who? That also explains how residents in Eden could smell the raw sewage the evening of the 7th, yet the Mayor claims that wasn't the case?????

Now, The Mayor got on PAC14 during their Monday Night Council Meeting and stated the very same thing, it started on the 7th and was contained on the 8th. She's covering her a$$ and the MDE should know about this. ON THE RECORD she is very slick like letting the public know this leak did in fact start on the 7th and when I called a friend of mine this morning to see if they heard her say the same exact thing last night, they not only CONFIRMED the Mayor had in FACT said that, they also wrote it down when she did.

Ladies & Gentlemen, there's a damn good reason the bacteria count is so high in the river right now. I believe, (I'm NOT an expert) that the Citizens ARE being lied to, as well as the MDE.

I was told this morning while trying to confirm all of this that Mr. Caldwell, (the Director of Public Works) is also claiming the high count is because of pigeon poop. It took no time at all for Barrie to convert this man, so from here on out, this guy is no longer trustworthy.

For those concerned, you can contact the MDE, Mr. Dave Pushkar at, 410-901-4020 or at dpushkar@mde.state.md.us and let him know you're concerned. This has got to end and I want the MDE accountable as well.

I'm Sick & Tired Of The Lewis Family & Their Poor Baby


Quite frankly Ladies & Gentlemen, I have had to bite my tongue every time I see the pitiful comments popping up here defending Ray Lewis.

Look, the man allegedly stole a ton of Taxpayer Items. Ray Lewis is a PAWN SHOP for Thieves. He allegedly buys stolen items and puts them to good use, his own.

For his alleged Family to get on here day in and day out, acting like Ray is a victim is BS! Keep your mouths shut, stay off this Blog and stand up for your Son, that's cool. However, to get on the Blogs and ACT like the man did no wrong, BITE ME!

The case is growing against him and he has a streak in him in which many people go to jail for many years for. Ray Lewis is no different. IF found guilty, he should go away for his crimes as we're sick and tired of the cases like Chris Llinus, the Lawyer who was involved in the sale of drugs and laundering money and only got house arrest. By the way, Chris Llinus reads my Blog daily, Idiot!

My hope is that they come back, (like States Attorney Davis Ruark stated) and file many additional charges against him and he goes back to jail. My advise to Ray Lewis right now is, enjoy your freedom because Wicomico County wants you accountable for your actions and IF Davis comes through, you're going away as well as the other 4 thieves. Let's keep a keen eye on this one Ladies & Gentlemen?

Ron Alessi Becomes Front Page News


Isn't it amazing how "I've" been trying to expose Ron Alessi for 4 years now and all of a sudden the Daily Times GETS IT?


County Council Members opened their eyes and ears and saw right through the conflict of interest I've been seeing for years and exposed Ron Alessi, challenging him with a conflict of interest.


Gee, I've been trying to get the City to do something with this guy for years but they COVER IT UP, such as the illegal pipes running into the River and Alessi claiming it was done well before their time. Bull Sh!t!


Then there's the free catered lunches at every Zoo Commission Meeting, well, I could go on and on about Alessi. The City settled with the man because he sued the City because they decided he shouldn't be awarded contracts with the City since it too was a conflict of interest while he served on the Zoo Commission. Alessi wanted to do work at the Zoo and when he was turned down he threw a fit, yet he's still President of the Zoo Commission.


Kudos to the County Council and County Executive Rick Pollitt for seeing through Alessi's B.S. and hopefully they remove him from his seat. Tell me, what's the difference between Ray Lewis getting a good deal on diesel fuel and Ron Alessi being awarded contracts?


I loves the statement about the quality of work too! It wasn't about the lowest bid, it was about the quality of work being provided. Dee, Dee, Deeee! Then there's the no comment and he doesn't answer his phone at home or his cell phone. Yeah, this is a guy who should be in charge of the Zoo. Taking money from visitors where they claim it's going to feed the animals, then they admit the money isinstead used to feed the Zoo Commission Members.


Get this guy the hell out of the Zoo and get some new blood in there. By the way, SADLY, I'm told George Mengason is in a Coma in the hospital and not doing well. George is a great man who has provided so many wonderful things for the Salisbury Community. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his Family.

Are You Freakin Kidding Me?

Have YOU seen today's Daily Times? Now look, I have better things to do than sit here all day picking on The Daily Times. However, Greg Latshaw's article on Debbie & Terry is just ridiculous.

You want to see contention. WATCH another Council Member show up ON PURPOSE just to create their so called quorum! Don't suggest it's all Debbie & Terry's fault they are the MINORITY!

As you can clearly see, I'm NOT at al happy with the article and or the other Council Members. You see, they work for US! Debbie & Terry are simply offering every possible angle they can to provide a more open form of Government and with the help of the Daily Times, this is going to crush their attempt.

Greg Latshaw is a decent guy but for some odd reason, I see Joe Carmean and Greg Bassett all over this article and perhaps Greg is now feeling the impact of trying to write one piece and it getting hacked up by upper management. This is when you see most Reporters getting fed up and leaving within the next couple of months.

It was nice knowing you Greg.

Mayor Barrie Tilghman Blames High Nutrient Level on Pigeons & Dogs!


While WMDT announced at 6:00 PM this evening that something was VERY wrong at the Salisbury WWTP, the Mayor was proudly speaking to the Wicomico Democratic Club tonight playing down the seriousness of the leak/spill.

Once Barrie finished her speech she asked if there were any questions. After one or two questions I raised my hand and as the Mayor desperately wanted to ignore me, the crowd was too small so she said, (in a very nasty tone, seriously) JOE!

I said, "WMDT reported tonight two weeks after the spill that the highest acceptable nutrient level to humans was 32. Test result today from the Wicomico River was 56, nearly double the acceptable level. That being said, is the City willing to go back and look at the calculations and see just why these levels are so high two weeks after the accident?

Mayor Tilghman replied, NO! She went on to say that pigeons and dogs can create a higher nutrient level in the river, (Dee, Dee, Deeee)! She also blamed the heavy rains recently. I did repeat the numbers and Mayor Tilghman said that they were accurate. One friend said, then what do we have on out streets that would create such high "nutrient" levels?

This is just the beginning of a very serious matter. I'm told the Press is digging in deep on this one as they will now hold their own investigation on this matter as these numbers simply are not acceptable. Well, the other Press, that is. I doubt The Daily Times will investigate much of anything on this one.

You're #1!
