BREAKING NEWS! Debbie Campbell Announces She's Running For A 2nd Term On City Council
Councilwoman Debbie Campbell made her announcement at 4:00 PM today at Smith Street & Maryland.
This should be VERY exciting news for the City of Salisbury Citizens as this is a woman who has tirelessly worked her heart out for the Citizens these past 4 years.
Debbie has created a brand new website that went up at 4:00 today HERE. Save it as one of your favorites.
Her announcement came in front of some 40 people, (Kratovil only had 50 at a publicized event at SU) who were all extremely excited about her decision. Her new Website lays out her mission and goals as Enough is Enough with Crime and Taxes.
It's time everyone come together with support and assure we make a solid difference retaining Debbie on the Council and quite frankly, removing Shanie Shields from her District and rid of the rubber stamping going on in the City.
The Mayoral Race will be just as important, riding of Mayor Tilghman and assuring Comegys has no chance at all. Nevertheless, this is about Debbie. Please show her your support.
SALISBURY NEWS ENDORSES DEBBIE CAMPBELL FOR SALISBURY CITY COUNCIL.
More to come.................

Frank Kratovil Is A LIAR
A few nights ago, Frank Kratovil challenged Andy Harris during the Debate at Chesapeake College by asking Andy why he would run an ad in which he knew the quote, "WE SOLVED THE CRISIS" was untrue. Frank went on to say that the Daily Times Retracted their original QUOTE and this is a LIE.
I stood in front of ALL of the Kratovil people after the debate and told them Frank Kratovil lied. They all tried to say Frank is a good man, (and he might be) but the fact STILL remains, Frank Kratovil LIED.
The Daily Times printed the QUOTE, WE SOLVED THE CRISIS because that's what Frank said. So, to ALL of those Kratovil fans out there that would just LOVE to get back at me, INCLUDING FRANK KRATOVIL, here's my challenge. YOU show me ONE retraction printed in the Daily Times and I swear to you, I will POST it any time, any place. I am putting it on the record right here and now. There was NEVER a RETRACTION, Frank knows it and so does ALL of his followers.
Crybaby Kratovil can't stand the heat because he talks too much. I am calling the man a LIAR and YOU have every right and now opportunity to prove me wrong. The Daily Times printed what Frank Kratovil said about the Bailout, "WE SOLVED THE CRISIS" and I think ALL of you today can clearly see, we're in a deeper CRISIS today than we were before the Bailout.
OK Frank, my telephone number is 410-430-5349. My e-mail address is alberobutzo@wmconnect.com and my address is 300 W. Main Street in Downtown Salisbury. The ball is now in your court. SHOW ME THE MONEY!
I was man enough to face you after the Debate and challenge you face to face. Here's your chance to make me look like a fool. Guess what Frank, I'm no fool and you're a LIAR. Prove me wrong.
There, I just solved that crisis too, didn't I Frank. Vote Andy Harris for Congress. He won't lie to you like this States Attorney did.
I Want These For Christmas!!!!!!

Hello, and thank you for taking time to read my email.
It is my understanding that you have a Wicomico County Counsil Meeting this coming Tuesday, November 2, 2008. I will be unable to attend the meeting but I am requesting that this issue be put in the agenda so the citizens and electorate can be made aware of this situation.
A few days ago we learned that Richard Chapman, a paid employee at the Pittsville Volunteer Fire Department, in Pittsville, Maryland, Wicomico County, was practicing medicine without a license. Richard Chapman was a certified Cardiac Rescue Technician, certified through the State of Maryland, he then claimed to have gone to further his education and stated he had officially became a Paramedic. He was then upgraded to Paramedic status in the Pittsville Volunteer Fire Department and received a countless number of thousands of dollars on behalf of the taxpayers of Wicomico County. He was never a paramedic. He lied and deceived everyone. He was negligent by putting patients lives at risk, putting the department at risk for liable, and putting the county at risk.
The officials at the Pittsville VFD never checked and/or verified his certification.
This is illegal activity and all I'm told over and over and over again is there is an investigation pending by the Maryland Institute of Emergency Medical Services Systems.
I am requesting that council bring to the floor the idea of suspending emergency medical services operations out of Pittsville Volunteer Fire Department. The 4 surrounding EMS departments are more than able to provide cover up assistance while Pittsville EMS is out of service pending an investigation. Parsonsburg, Willards, Powellville, and Gumboro are close enough that there will be no delay in service to the citizens of Pittsville.
There currently is a 24/7 Advanced Life Support (ALS) coverage between Parsonsburg and Pittsville. I suggest that Pittsville VFD forfeit their county funds to Parsonsburg EMS to continue the 24/7 ALS coverage.
When we call 911 to seek emergency medical care we expect the personnel providing such care to be educated and certified. We expect the agency they represent to make sure that happens. The officers of the Pittsville Volunteer Fire Department did not make this happen, they have let us down and are now being investigated. I strongly recommend that they be shut down until an investigation is complete.
The county funds the emergency medical services and I feel the council would have such power to suspend their operation. If you are unable to lawfully suspend EMS operations out of Pittsville then I make a suggestion that you no longer fund their operation.
The Pittsville Volunteer Fire Department has proven themselves to be unwilling and unable to provide a safe and adequate EMS operation. For this they need to be investigated and the their operation needs to be suspended.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to read my email, hopefully I will receive some replies.
Thank you.

Kratovil Leaves Important Questions Unanswered
Annapolis - Frank Kratovil continues to leave many questions unanswered. Chris Meekins, Harris Campaign Manager, released the following statement:
"Having his buddies come to his defense is no surprise, but it still doesn't change the fact that Kratovil has left many important questions unanswered. Why did he decline to prosecute a child sexual predator on 15 counts? Why did he take contributions from criminal defense attorneys who have cases before him in Queen Anne's County? At the very least this is a conflict of interest, at the very worst it is justice for sale."
Kratovil should answer questions on the following campaign contributions and cases:
In March of 2007, Frank Kratovil declined to prosecute Robert Wayne Dwyer on 15 of 17 counts relating to child sexual offenses. Faced with the possibility of a lifetime in jail, Dwyer is now free in the community. (Source: Case No. 0M00014525)
In October 2007, Lawyer Richard M. Karceski became the official representation of Donna Ann Jones who was charged with 14 counts of burglary. Richard Karceski donated to Kratovil's campaign on 12/4/2007. In February 2008, the Queen Anne's County State's Attorneys office dropped 12 of the counts against Donna Ann Jones resulting in her getting a slap on the wrist. Since that time, Richard Karceski has donated again to the Kratovil campaign and Donna Ann Jones has violated her parole. (Source: Case No. 17K07006775, Karceski donation on 12/4/2008 - Federal Election Commission)
Trial Lawyer: Peter O'Neill, Esq.
Donations to Kratovil for Congress: 7/19/07-$500, 1/5/08-$1,000, 1/5/08-$1,000 (Wife, Wendy O'Neill), 3/27/08-$250, hosted a house part in the spring of 2008 that raised over $10,000 (Federal Election Commission).

Breaking News! West Side Collector Road Scandal?
Just when the County thought they had things under control, sh!t hit the fan again recently and some serious issues are once again at hand for the County Executive.
During the Landfill exposure I had continued to contact the County Executive's Office asking what was to become of the Press Conference on the West Side Collector Road. The response I would regularly get is, oh yeah, we need to do something about that. Well, that was several months ago and as I drive past it every single day, there's been NO PROGRESS and no Press Conference.
Being curious I did some more digging and with the help of some friends I was able to finally get the answer as to why things ave come to a complete halt. While the information I am about to provide is not a criminal issue as the moment, it could become one down the road and or your County Executive has some serious questions to answer under his watch.
While this Collector Road was being developed they came across an area in which they learned there was trash/debris underneath their path. There was much discussion as to whether or not they should relocate the path or remove the debris. I should say, this is what was told to me. I say that because ultimately while some are questioning how this all came about, it's important to recognize that there WAS some discussion about if they should relocate the road or not.
Now, that being said, SOMEONE made the decision to make a change order for somewhere between $600,000.00 to $700,000.00 to REMOVE the debris and relocate it. The County Executive's Office claims they knew nothing about it, yet there was discussion about relocating the road? The County Council says they know nothing about it. YET IT WAS DONE!
I do NOT believe that Mr. John Readen had the authority to simply go ahead and make a possible $700,000.00 change order and at this point and time, NO ONE knows who authorized such a change order!
So once again the Taxpayers have been uninformed and perhaps even screwed. Its my understanding that Mr. Rick Pollitt is extremely upset over this matter but he has been holding this information for almost two weeks now in the hopes of getting to the bottom of the problem at hand.
The taxpayers deserve answers as to what is going on and when we can expect to see this project move forward and closure.

Once again the MSM will be all over this any minute now and people are coming to learn that Salisbury News is not only THE PLACE to ring your information, we'll get it out there before anyone else. Heck, at least you know when you get it to us we'll publish it, unlike the Daily Slime.
Mr. Pollitt's Office says they're not over budget but they're not done with the project, for starters and in time I hope we can all get to the bottom of this. This is yesterday's breaking news story.

Toys For The Holidays
"Ever since my kids were little I have, every October or November, cleaned out their toy closet of all the little used toys and games. I then pack them up and take them to the Salvation Army.
For me this accomplishes a couple of things:
1. I feel good that parents, who might not have a lot of money, will be able to purchase toys for their children for Christmas and
2. my house gets a little cleaner before the onslaught of new items the holidays will bring.
So, a couple of weeks ago I did my cleaning and packed everything up and went to the Salvation Army. The gentleman checking in the items saw that I had toys and said that they were no longer accepting them. It seems that in our government’s wisdom to protect our children from the dangers of lead poisoning they have put the Salvation Army and others like them at a disadvantage. The gentleman I spoke with said that they now have a big book of toy listings and that they must go thru that book for every toy they receive to make sure that there is no lead danger. It was taking them so long to do this that they made the decision to stop accepting toy donations at all! I went home and told my husband about it and he then called Goodwill and they have done the same thing.
This has been haunting me for the last couple of weeks and I don’t know what to do about. I feel sick that many children won’t have the opportunity to receive toys this year because of this new rule.
I’d like to hear from your readers about other options of where to take toy donations or perhaps we (your readers) can begin some type of toy drive?
I hope you will post this.
Sincerely,
Michelle Wainwright"

Whine Fest at Kamp Kratovil
Tough times tend to show the stuff a man is made of. For Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil, a lack of character becomes more and more apparent as Election Day becomes a stone's throw away.
Electoral politics is a rough and tumble business. Some of us may not like it, but that's simply the way it is. There is also a purpose to the seeming melee of campaign season. How does candidate X react to pressure? How does candidate Y face a series of blistering attacks?
Whether you agree with him or not, Maryland Sen. Andy Harris takes a licking and keeps on ticking. He's straight about where he stands on issues. He doesn't waffle.
As Harris stated at their last debate just a few days ago, "I'm a right of center guy, I'm a conservative guy". Harris has stood firm in his support of lower taxes and a pro-economic growth policies.
Kratovil claims to be "independent". Yet, mail is going out to households (those self-identified as liberal or "progressive") throughout the First District asking recipients to:

Governors of Six States Asking Fed to Bail Out Auto Industry
This has been brewing for a while, but now there are 6 different governors from 6 different states on board with this idea.
Chrysler and GM are the companies that are up for this bailout.
Supposedly the plan it to merge the two corporations to cut losses, but I bet my bottom dollar that Chrysler will be making the cars and GM is going to become a bank.
Just watch!

It was shocking and disturbing to learn at a Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control public hearing that 26 years after Delmarva Power and Light ceased dumping coal ash from the Indian River Power Plant onto Burton Island, 26 of 26 offshore sediment samples were discovered to contain seven heavy metal pollutants identified as "Constituents of Potential Concern for either human or ecological receptors."
These metals include aluminum, arsenic, barium, cobalt, copper, mercury and nickel. Delaware Toxic Release Inventory Reports identify compounds of arsenic, cobalt and nickel as carcinogens.
An ecological risk assessment published by Shaw Environmental Inc. in March 2008 states, "There is a potential for adverse affects to benthic invertebrates in the sediment along the shoreline of Burton Island due to arsenic and barium. The only potentially exposed population is recreational fishermen and their families ... through the consumption of caught fish and/or shellfish."
A DNREC environmental scientist was asked at a Center for the Inland Bays meeting in September if he would eat clams taken from the Burton Island area. He said, "no."
Environmental groups including the Sierra Club, Delaware Audubon, Green Delaware, Citizens for Clean Power, Citizens Coalition, Citizens for a Better Sussex and the Citizens Advisory Committee of the CIB have opposed the recent issuance of the new NRG Energy (Phase II) landfill permit, and the inadequate voluntary NRG remediation action plan for Burton Island, which consists of leaving the contaminated offshore sediment in place and adding riprap along the shoreline.
Although the riprap may help to inhibit future erosion of shoreline embankments, the geo-textile synthetic fabric underlay base is permeable and therefore will not prevent continued long-term leaching of the landfill's numerous toxic pollutants into bay waters.
DNREC Secretary John Hughes has said some of the NRG coal-ash landfill concerns are unfounded and that some of the criticisms are based on misinformation.
Why doesn't DNREC require NRG to haul ash from Burton Island out of the Inland Bays' watershed and deny a permit for the creation of yet another coal-ash landfill? Could political pressure and NRG profits possibly be factors in these decisions? Surely the same railroad hoppers that deliver 64 carloads of coal per day could be used to haul away the annual production of approximately 100,000 cubic yards of hazardous ash that contains 770,000 pounds of toxic heavy metal pollutants.
Until cleaner energy sources enable shut down of the coal-burning Indian River Power Plant -- the state's largest polluter -- DNREC must do more to eliminate and clean-up its continuous discharges of thousands of pounds of harmful chemicals to our air, water and land.

This is an e-mail from BGen James Cash, USAF, who has written some very good articles on the subject. Here he recommends someone else's e-mail that impressed him, and scared him.

The writer of this essay is Jerry Molen. Jerry is a great friend and an Academy Award winning Hollywood Producer. He did Jurassic Park , Hook, Rainman, and many more class movies. He won he Academy Award for Schindler's List. Jerry is one of the very few clear thinking conservatives that I know from Hollywood . We need to get this out to as many as possible to include liberal Democrats.. We are about to make the Mother-of-All-Mistakes, because the Republican Party gave us no reliable alternative. In my opinion, if the conservative movement does not rally behind the only alternative left to us, this country will become a true Socialist State within the next two
Presidential terms. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the most grave situation this nation has faced in my lifetime.

'Election woes defined by prose.....'
We just experienced an overhyped, positively outrageous primary election season that has left me cold and wondering where the heads of our citizens are hiding out. Must be someplace where the sun doesn't get to very often.
At one time in my life I was a determined, dedicated and ever loyal registered Democrat. Then something happened (Lyndon Baines Johnson) that turned my life around and gave me much pause as to the veracity of a party that dwelt on and fed off of the most unfortunate among us. Some of those unfortunates were in their positions in life by way of their own choosing and others were there by circumstance. But always, always with a door open to them to reach for new heights, achieve new goals, change their lives for the better. And also, always ever present were the bottom feeders doing everything they could to take advantage of those who had not or have not seen the light of better days and times nor realizing they were in fact the masters of their own destiny. They had come to believe that they were dependent on those in power in Washington and that they would look out for them and take care of their every need. They are still waiting and expecting all those promised freebies.
Most people aren't even aware that the Democrats ruled Washington for over 40 years. It wasn't until 1994 when the so called Gingrich Revolution changed that for a short period of time. Nor do people realize that it was the Dem's that created the failed policies of the many entitlement programs that are falling apart right before our eyes. Please do not think I find the Republicans blameless in all this. They too, suffer from ego inflation and greed motivators built into the system. It's just that the past few months I've listened to the rantings and railings of the left in America calling for more giveaways and better ways to obtain the proverbial 'free lunch'.
I think that to sum up my feelings and why I am so set apart from those within the circles of political power and influence can be illustrated best by a quote by noted basketball legend and talk show co-host Charles Barkley:
'Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last fifty years....and they are still poor'.
And now with the election results comes the promises of 'change'. 'Change we can believe in.' 'Change for the future'. When in fact if you really, I mean REALLY listen to what the new messiah is asking for is not 'change of policy' or 'change for the better'. He is warning all of us that he wants our change all right, 'loose change', pocket change', social change and political change......So
people wake up. For if you don't the change you get may not be the change you were expecting or the change you wanted.
To close my screed, I want to leave you with some JM predictions in the event the junior Senator from Illinois becomes President and especially if the House and Senate are veto proof.
1). Strict new gun laws will be enacted even though he promised he would not.
2). The phrase 'In God We Trust' will be removed from all currency.
3). He will back away from his pledge to Israel and leave them to the wolves of Islam.
4). Hillary Clinton will be named to the Supreme Court.
5). Tax rates will return to their highest levels in
30 years.
6). The capital gains tax will be at least double current levels.
7). Retired Army General Wesley Clark will be named Secretary of Defense.
8). The borders will be 'basically open' to all comers. Especially those from the Middle East and South America ..
9). Amnesty will be granted to all illegals now in the U.S regardless of status or even gang members (MS-13). and
10). The war in Iraq will be brought to an abrupt end and the results will be tragic and the consequences to our military will be devastating.
I realize that my predictions may not sit too well with some people and the best we could all hope for is that I am totally wrong. Any bets?
