Remember this article the other day? You know, the letter George Chevallier sent off to the State about the Mayor's scam. "George Chevallier Slams Mayor Tilghman On Bail Out Money For The Bricks Scam."
Well guess what Folks. The Mayor got so ticked off, she not only drafted the letter below, she went and HAND DELIVERED IT to George Chevallier at his personal residence. Now why would any one in their RIGHT MIND do something so stupid? Because she's Barrie Tilghman, the Queen of Eastern Shore Idiots! Barrie Tilghman delivered this message because she wanted to intimidate George, an elderly man. She wanted to do what we call back in the Bronx, piss on his fire hydrant and let him know she can trespass on his property uninvited and deliver this message with only that Look Barrie Tilghman can do that sends shivers even down Hollywood's spine.
Her DEMANDS are so STUPID, who the heck does this woman think she is! Barrie, shove that message where the sun don't shine woman because I'll back George up as well as thousands of people on this Blog with enough finances to counter sue you for a multitude of actions.
Any normal human being would first seek Council before sending such a message and then they'd send it via USPS and NOT hand deliver it in order to intimidate yet ANOTHER Taxpayer. Your game is over woman and I will see you first on January 21st in Court and we're going to bring this fine example of who you are soas the Judge can see your style and just how far you have gone with me and many others in the attempt to shut us up. Pack all your crap up from your Office woman and don't let that door hit you in the tail too hard on the way out because the majority of the City Taxpayers have had enough of your crap! This Blog exposed you for who you really are Barrie Tilghman and the Red Cross Luncheon told you what the majority of Citizens think of you.

This was George Chevallier's response to the Mayor's letter/message/abuse.......
"Barrie P. Tilghman, Mayor January 9, 2009
City of Salisbury
125 N. Division St.
Salisbury, MD 21801-4940
Dear Barrie,
While I sincerely resent you coming to my house to hand deliver a letter that could have just as easily been delivered by the USPS, I will respond to the allegations in your letter.
Since you are spearheading the attempt to get grant money for the building known as the “Bricks”, I used your name as the perpetrator of what I called a “scam”. What else would you call it when someone is trying to obtain money for something that has no chance whatsoever of returning that money to the city. The money proposed for this project could be used to build affordable housing for the same amount of people for a lot less money. Someone is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the citizens of Salisbury.
My statement about you owning quite a bit of rental properties in this neighborhood was the result of what was passed on to me as a result of comments made about why you and Louise Smith spend so much effort in that neighborhood “cleaning it up”. You may or may not own residential housing in the neighborhood, but we never see you in any other neighborhood on such a scale as the East Side. And your husband’s property on Benny St. is on the East Side.
As far as sending the letter under the umbrella of the Wicomico Historical Society, I did no such thing. I identified myself as president of the Society to lend credence to the historical facts to which I referred.
I will in no way apologize for trying to make Salisbury a better place in which to live. Or will I apologize for expressing my opinion that you are trying to spend a million dollars of taxpayer money on a project such as this. I don’t think all the facts are out on this “project”. Who is going to own the building? Who is going to pay the taxes? Who gets the rent money from this building? These are questions that the people of Salisbury want and deserve to know. Are you willing to send me the answers to these questions?
I certainly didn’t intend to malign you by hearsay evidence. In the future I will stick to my knowledge of the city and its history. To say that I have less than a passionate love of Salisbury would be an understatement. I have so often seen outsiders come in to the city, make their money and then leave. Oftentimes at the expense of the taxpayers who still live here.
I anticipate an immediate answer to the above questions.
Sincerely,
George Chevallier
cc: Cindy Stone"
I can assure you, the Mayor is reading this response letter before the Postal Service delivers Geroge's letter. You have picked on the Dirty Dozen, (now thousands) long enough and we don't have to put up with your crap any more. Mayor "Bully" Tilghman has been spanked publicly in the COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION and you need to go home, close the doors and blinds and sit back and think about your reign of terror on everyone who ever disagreed with you.
For those of you heading to the polls in the near future, Gary Comegys has been a major supporter of this woman for many, many years! Now you know what you'll be voting for if ANY of you cast a vote for Gary Comegys. It's time to take back this City Ladies & Gentlemen and make a statement. Vote for ANYONE besides Gary Comegys and you'll be better off.
George, I'm sorry this happened to you and my hat is tipped to you Sir for standing your ground and telling this woman basically where she can shove it. We're behind you 100%. I'm sure my Attorney would be happy to represent you if the Mayor tries to come after you.
So tell us Folks, what would YOU do if the Mayor showed up at your front door unannounced with an attitude and a letter in hand of such?
What would I do? Do you mean before or after I got up from the floor from ROFLMAO?
ReplyDeleteawww she got her toes stepped on!! Poor baby! I would send her an apology, while I am sure Mr. Chevallier is too mature for such, I would zerox my butt and send that to her with the words "Here's your apology, now kiss and make up!" I know not proper to do but man could you see her face after getting THAT in the mail!! haha priceless
ReplyDeleteI've heard the same thing, that all the work in the Church Street area is because she or her family hold investments there. Common talk around town. If she has another reason for supporting this section of the City more than other sections, I would love to hear it. And the Bricks, why the bricks, when everyone wanted the brewery!
ReplyDeleteWhere's that petition being signed, if it is against the Brick project, I want to sign it.
ReplyDeleteI thought that grant was to help with resolving forclosed properties that are creating blight in otherwise good neighborhoods.
ReplyDeleteYou pegged it perfectly. She's a bully and has done this to several citizens in the past. I remember that lady getting on PAC14 saying the mayor sent her 84 year old grandmother a nasty letter too. Shameful behavior mayor Tilghman.
ReplyDeleteAs a woman writing this I just can't believe she had the kahunas to do this. How stupid is she? Did she not think it would go further than just receiving the letter and that be done? I am grateful that I am not as stupid as she and I'm not even into politics. Get real Mayor and Get out so Salisbury can be the place it once was BEFORE you.
ReplyDeleteBENNY STREET IS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR CONSIDERATION TO EAST CHURCH STREET.MAYBE GEORGE SHOULDVA PULLED A [MIKEY DUNN]THING AND THREW THE LETTER IN THE OLD WOMANS FACE.
ReplyDeleteHey, Barrie, I also wrote to that Commission stating that I disagreed with the funds being allocated to the "Bricks"--so, Barrie, why don't you come to my house? I'm waitin' for you--bring it on, Barrie! I just want you to try to come to my door!
ReplyDeleteAnd, BTW, why is Barrie using City staff, letterhead and her time (paid by taxpayers) to defend her personal character?
Once again, if it wasn't for Salisbury News, none of us would have seen this. I can see why the Mayor hates you so much Joe but we can't thank you enough for providing these things and letting us know who she really is and what she's capable of. Comegys has the same mentality and doesn't like being challenged either. We'd be in for the same kind of abuse if this man were elected.
ReplyDeleteHer father is rolling over in his grave. Its no wonder her daughter is such a bully too. You can count me in if George needs any help.
ReplyDeleteI have a question, it is likely true that she and her husband only own one property in the area, but the bank they sit on the board of, how many properties does the bank own in that area?
ReplyDeleteGeorge were here to support you in this situation. YOu are certainly entitled to your opinion. Opinions are not right or wrong they are opinions. we all have them. you are right that it is sheer stupidity to spend that kind of money on that building. that money could be much better used for other things. Hang in there, there are better days ahead. sjd
ReplyDeleteKudos to G. C.!
ReplyDeleteHopefully Barrie's outrageously nasty letter to him and this post will have these positive results:
1. Mobilize folks to protest to the appropriate state official about using taxpayer money to make that property into a low income rental apartment -- Here’s who to contact:
Cindy Stone, Director
Office of Community Programs
Maryland Dept. of Housing
and Community Development
100 Community Place
Crownsville MD 21032
Ms. Stone can be reached at 410/514-7256 or via e-mail at stonec@mdhousing.org
2. Alert the public to why we can't have another person like Barrie -- her buddy Bubba Comegys -- as mayor.
3. Stop any plan Barrie has for some other public office or high oaid position thru an appointment by O'Malley or Obama.
anonymous 9:30,
ReplyDeleteGreat question! Mayor Tilghman likes to hide behind her Husbands name on most of their properties. She claims, my name isn't on it. She's trying to pull that crap in our lawsuit. What she tends to forget is that Maryland is a 50/50 State. If they divorce, she gets 50%, period. Pretty convenient, eh? How many of those properties are LLC's? You know they LOVE those LLC's!
Does this "thing" really think people take her serious anymore? They need to fire her and fire her proof reader. "each of us in entitled to our own opinion" she doesn't seem to care about anyone elses opinion why should we care about hers.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised she didn't also include it, as part 2, of her editorial piece in the Tilghman Times yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with 9:25. If Joe hadn't brought this to our attention we would have never known about it. Barrie Tilghman has been a disgrace to the City for far too many years and I for one am glad to see her go. George, I'm so sorry this happened to you.
ReplyDeleteJoe this post has really struck a never. There were 3 posts when I started to post and when I refreshed after posting it was up to 15. I don't know how you keep up with it all.
ReplyDeleteDear Queen of Scam, the name barrie tilghman is in fact...the very definition of "scam", dont beleive me?, google it! One dosnt need physical proof any more....the simple fact that your involved, like everything else you've done to our city, our council and the people in and around it...time and time again there has been proof, IF your involved it MUST be a SCAM!!!
ReplyDeleteI would do first,by legal authority force her to answer Mr. Chevalier's questions. And do a property search and see how any and all names corrispon with Mrs. Scam, you know she's up to no good!
I'd push for the biggest coruption chage ever known to hit mareville!
Look at the theator blding on Main St....it's in far worse shape...why isnt she doin something with that? Because even the blding code dept is a scam under her reign! I say we hire investigators and press charges for everything we can find, when she leaves office...derilict of duty in the 1st degree!!!
I believe some of the property
ReplyDeletein question is owned by LLC "s
It would be very difficult to find the real owners. She may be hiding behind this advantage.
There is a reason behind her madness and will come back to her financial gain , you can take that to the bank.(check on the Dunns)
Just who does this woman think she is. George is one of the kindest gentlemen I know and has never been a trouble maker. His response letter is well thought out and much nicer then I would have been. You asked what we would have done. I'm really not sure. I was raised to show respect for authority but Barrie has really put a hurting on people in power and I can see why so many rebel towards authority these days.
ReplyDeleteWhat a mean spirited individual.
ReplyDeleteThis is far from the first time Barrie has reached out to touch personally citizens whose opinions differ from her own She is well-known for her intimidation tactics--that's how she does business and how she lives. Almost immediately, she views adverse comments as a 'threat' and swings into frantic action.
ReplyDeleteBarrie, Barrie, you so need rest--you appear to be spinning out of control again. You and Matt need to take some time off and take a long trip--maybe you'll see a town you like and you could move there. If you would leave Salisbury, we would keep quiet and not let them know the havoc you will cause. Just go.
If someone were to have told me about this without my reading this article I probably wouldn't believed it.
ReplyDeleteMr. Albero, you are serving this community in so many great ways and I truly appreciate it. Barrie Tilghman should be ashamed of herself and she's the one who needs to send a letter of apology.
Who will she be able to hide behind when she no longer has her mayorial powers? Just think of all the locals who feared airing their opinions and concerns because of her known retaliations. Fear no more when shes out of office. Hey Barrie,what goes arround comes around and don't forget it. It might benefit you to leave the area once you're out of office because it's obvious you don't have many fans here. You've pretty much been run out of the protection of you're office now let's see if you can't be run out of salisbury all together! Good Bye,Good Riddance!
ReplyDeleteHave you not ever heard of "Hand Delivered" Mail. Been around since Moses.
ReplyDelete1) Hopefully, she is coming unglued and ready to self destruct.
ReplyDelete2) Hopefully, she has not done anything in office that could come back to bite her in the arse, or it just might!
Better be looking over everything and making sure all the I's are dotted and all the T's are crossed. Never know who else is looking.
do you think this will show up in the daily times or any other M.S.M.....NOT....whats the next thing she is going to do..toilet paper somebodys house and yard.???
ReplyDeleteguess what Barrie...nobody is afraid of you or your salisbury mafia.
rob...
Her "PR" guy must be chugging Pepto by the gallons. It was very improper for her to "scold" a constituent for speaking his mind.
ReplyDeleteThis is the same type of tirade that Willie Don Schaefer ("I know where you live") used to do -- it's megalomania!
ReplyDeleteShe wanted to have Matt do it, but he had too much dusting and cleaning to do.
ReplyDeleteThis could be the start of an entirely new "Dirty Dozen"!
ReplyDeleteShe would find out real quick that if a woman acts like a man , I will treat her like one. I got my bail money.
ReplyDeleteGeorge will now be visited by Tom Stevenson for leaves falling from the trees and fined accordingly. She'll have Bill Holland fine him for cracks in the sidewalk. She'll have public works over there working on his water lines so he won't have use of water or sewer for a few days. She'll have SPD over there writing tickets because he parked more than 6 inches from the curb or there is dirt on his car. That woman will retaliate in more ways than one.
ReplyDeleteBatten down the hatches George, that storm over at the GOB is brewing and set to hit, right after she sobers up.
What is next in this trainwreck of bad public judgment? Yelling at a lady in a wheelchair because she didn't "wipe her wheels" before coming into GOB? Oh, man..just ego wayyyy out of control....seriously.
ReplyDeleteBarrie Tilghman you are a LIAR! That property on Benny St is owned by YOU and Matt. Not solely by Matt as you implied in your letter to Mr. Chevallier.

ReplyDeleteVery, very funny.
But more importantly.
Probably true.
yea, she is a tool.
ReplyDeleteJoe, you are offering the services of your laywer, can you go a step further and offer to put the retainer fee down for him? I cant wait to see how this one plays out. She was in the wrong 100%.
She better not do anything further to George--he's got courage and is a Salisbury treasure. Back off, Barrie--he's a hero to lots of us!
ReplyDeleteGeorge has lots of fans.
Barrie has NO fans. Hang it up, Barrie and exit gracefully--and I know this would be a stretch for her!
11:41Oh it is true all right. Piss off Barrie or one of her slumlord buddies and the city will be all over you, take it from someone who experienced it first hand.
ReplyDeleteIf Barrie had a rebuttal to put forth, she should have sent it to Cindy Stone with a copy to George. She could have listed the salient points of George's letter and offered counter arguments to each. That's how someone with intelligence, decorum and a respect for the rights of others would have handled it. Barrie is a small person in a big job. Her petulance and vindictiveness are becoming increasingly pathetic.
ReplyDeleteHa, if you look at the Mare's signature, she can't even spell her own name.
ReplyDeleteok, I dislike the mayor just as much as the next guy. I also think that the project is a poor allocation of tax payer funds. I further disagree with her rebuttal to Mr. Chevallier; however, some information has not been fully disclosed to the public, more specifically this Blog, regarding this project. About 50% of the funds for the project are coming from the State the remainder is, indeed, local funds (the sum is to the tune of approximately $2.2m). Here's the catch that has not been noted here as of yet (or at least from what I have read on here) the State actually came down and selected the site to which to allocate the funds. Now here lies the true controversy, Did the mayor have any influence on the State's decision to target "The Bricks" for the funding? Now we automatically throw blame on the Barrie and perhaps it is due, but in reality it was the State's decision regardless of Barrie's personal gain. Now, that being said, somebody (Joe, you probably know the avenues) needs to contact the State Department of Housing and Community Development and inquire as to why that particular site was chosen. Regardless, the project still needs to be approved by the Council and we need to give them all the reasons why these funds would/will be better suited and more productive on another project. And like I said, I am by no means a fan of Barrie or her cronies, but unless she had an influence on the State's decision, which she may have, she really isn't the one to blame here. Further more, we really should discuss what areas/projects truely deserve to receive these funds.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Holland, as well as their associates involved with city gov't know better than to act against this man, or anyone else who is in disfavor with Barrie. Maybe in the past this sort of activity was possible, but now that THE LIGHT OF DAY is shining, there will be no more retaliations under cover of "city business".
ReplyDeleteSBYNEWS would expose it, and the bad would far outweigh the good, as far as benefit to her.
Once again, YAY to Joe.
Anon 12:33 if what you are saying is true why didn't the state tell the county where to spend their half of this grant? The county is undecided as to where to use their end of the funds. Personally, I think you are full of it.
ReplyDeleteBarrie and her FOB's stand to gain financially from this misuse of funds, that is the bottom line. The truth will come out, it always does.
George is and always has been a
ReplyDeleteparagon of virtue , a boom to the
community and a pillar to the church. Here com de judge!!
compile a list of all transactions over the last 10+ yrs. involving Barrie...where a misappropriation of funds exists, or an incidence of personal gain is possible
ReplyDeleteFrom this we ought to be able to find something to get this woman a new residence in the 20794 (Jessup, MD)
Hence, shredding of the documents.
ReplyDeleteBarry's letter =
ReplyDeletecareful, codescending, and slimy
----------------------------------
Mr. George Chevallier's response =
AWESOME!!!!!!
11:32 and 12:22 are right, piss off the Mayor (or embarrass her)and suddenly you have a home inspection or a ticket for parking, failure to remove your trash can in a timely way, lawn cutting, etc. I've personally been a victim of this, and whenever someone I know is upset, I remind them that in spite of what is said, the end result appears to be retaliation to shut you up or to shut you down! Unfortunately, it is effective.
ReplyDeleteNote to Barrie. Do not send your city employed thugs to harrass Mr. George Chevallier or anyone in his family. This will be taken as retaliatory action. There are consequences to these actions. Consider yourself on notice.
ReplyDeleteI am quite sorry Barrie has taken the low road to her Mayoral position. I voted for her and have been shocked by her unprofessionalism on this incident with George Chevallier. John Pick's name was on the letterhead also. Sorry John. Consider the source George,you are well respected and keep up the work on all history of our wonderful city.
ReplyDeleteANON 12:45 PM,
ReplyDeleteFor one, we are talking about the City, not the County.
Two, when the state is handing out money the State generally has some kind of say in what it gets spent on. In addition the DHCD is extremely active on where and how money is spent.
Now you just sound like an idiot. So, Personally, I think YOU (ANON 12:45 PM) are full of it.
Let's not get this confused as supporting the Mayor, I still think that she and her cohorts are grimey individuals and shouldn't have the power and influence that they do.
If the Daily Times reported correctly it was stated there were $2 million in grant funds to the county of which the county would give the city $1 million. This report also stated the county council was undecided where they would use the money yet the city spoke right up saying it would spend their half on the Bricks. So if there is information the city is keeping from the citizens then lets see it. Does it surprise me information is being kept from the taxpayers by the city administration? It would surprise me more if they provided information without a FOIA being submitted.
ReplyDeleteI can say without hesitation that Mr Chevellier has a love of Salisbury that is unmatched by anyone. He has merely stated his opinion and the Mayor has once again shown what she is famous for.She won't worry George for a minute and he surely has more support than her. This shows what we have all heard and suspected for years. The Mare will retaliate and try to get her way no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI think the sad part is that this structure and the Boulevard theater may soon be a memory. Why cant we find a way to preserve these structures. They are a part of the Salisbury landscape regardless of their history. I'm sure George would support the preservation of these buildings if the correct funding was procured. The thing that I admire most about George is his respect for historic value of anything, especially this area.
Mayor, you have made an error in judgement and you have picked on the wrong guy. I hope that you will realize your mistake and find a common ground to resolution on this matter. I watched your interview on PAC 14 with Mr. Conway and you spoke of resolution by finding common ground. Well, lets see that in action.
You all want to see the Bricks torn down. Ask yourself this. What will go there in its place ? A vacant lot, a 7-11 or another Crackerbox Rancher like those all over the City. You know, the kind that takes 2 days to build and only has 3 feet between the property line and the side of the house. The kind where "SPECIAL" variances are allowed for RENTALS. Where a normal family would not be permitted to build. These Crackeboxes are everywhere and have no character or appeal. Nothing like the grand homes of Newtown or Camden Ave. Who wants to look at this crap? This is why the City is like it is. No pride, no vision and no respect for its past.
ReplyDeletePrioritize the money to fit todays economy. How hard can that be.
ReplyDeleteIn follow up to 11:35 disclosing that Barrie Tilghman's name is on the Benny Street property, you should know this, Joe:
ReplyDeleteWhether it's her name, her husband's or her kid's (etc.), the ethics law requires disclosure of involvement that benefits a person in office OR their family members. I don't know enough about the ethics law to know where the law draws the line on what it means to "benefit," but I do know that it includes the family, or even other persons with a relationship of some kinds with the elected official.
In any event, what Barrie Tilghman did to George Chevalier was abusive, an attempt to intimidate and an interference with his Constitutional rights! If I were George, I'd get a lawyer! She was waaaaaaay out of bounds with what she did to him!
Here is the article printed in the Daily Times on January 7th.
ReplyDeleteSALISBURY -- Joining forces, Wicomico County and Salisbury want $2 million in federal money to fix up foreclosed houses and vacant apartments. A grant by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development would specifically battle neighborhood blight, another ill of the foreclosure crisis. Property values often drop in areas near vacancies. The HUD money won't help homeowners avoid foreclosure, so those in trouble should contact Salisbury Neighborhood Housing Services or Maryland's Home Owners Preserving Equity for assistance. The County Council on Tuesday passed a resolution to apply for a $2 million Neighborhood Stabilization grant council members say would evenly split the money with Salisbury. Statewide, governments are battling for about $27 million in the HUD funding. City Administrator John Pick said Salisbury would use its million to redevelop "The Bricks," a property at the intersection of East Church and Isabella streets, donated to the city in 2007. The city wants to rent out eight to 10 units of affordable housing, Pick said. A privately owned company would manage the property and also must put up money to help redevelop it, he said. County Council members said they are unclear how the county will use its share of the money. Wicomico has fewer foreclosures than highly populated counties, such as Prince George's County, but SNHS executive director Cheryl Meadows said foreclosure rates are high locally and aren't slowing down. Meadows said her office dealt with 150 households facing foreclosure last year, helping a third of them save their homes. In December, her office handled another 30 cases, she said.
Who let the dogs out? Woof, woof, woof woof
ReplyDeleteTo those that favor restoring it there is a solution, you and all 2 of your friends get together, get a second mortgage on your homes and just go ahead and restore it with your own money if it is worth that much to you. Leave my tax dollars out of it.
The money is not coming from the state, it is from HUD, Housing and Urban Development, a federal agency.
ReplyDeleteTO: R. F. at 2:14-
ReplyDeleteWhat we are concerned about is spending a huge amount of money -- about $200,000 (or more) per unit for apartments in that building and at that site. The City should have made the former owner repair or demolish the building.
Unfortunately we don't have the money -- and it is not the City's duty -- to preserve every old building that some "expert architect" likes.
Anon 12:33 where did you get your information? I'd like to verify it.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least we know where Barrie is headed after she leaves office....back to high school.
ReplyDeleteDo the math. 1 million to renovate. 8 units@725 Square feet ea. = $125,000 per unit.
ReplyDelete6 units @966 square feet ea. =$167,000 per unit.
Any buyers out there?
1 parking lot = $100,000. Best deal in town.
She deserves an apology. In his response he admits that he was spreading rumor. Good for the Mayor. Of course, this won't get posted. Thanks, Joe
ReplyDelete2:33-
ReplyDeleteSo it's all OK as long as it's funds from out federal income taxes, right?
Anon 244 it looks like your comment made it through to show just what a complete idiot you are. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhy is Wicomico County involved in this -- pleeze tell us Rick ("transparency") Pollitt.
ReplyDeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteI think it was grand of you to wait until 9:01 to post this instead of the usual 9 am. It gave Barrie's computer time to boot up so she could get her news "fresh".
Anon 247, no, not at all. My comment was in response to the idiot saying it was state money and the state told the city where to apply it. I believe it was submitted by Anon 155
ReplyDeleteAnon 233
The County Council on Tuesday passed a resolution to apply for a $2 million Neighborhood Stabilization grant council members say would evenly split the money with Salisbury.
ReplyDeleteCould this be the answer you are looking for Anon 2:49
TEN units?! Thatwould be a 588 square feet; very small, but a bargain at $100k each!
ReplyDeleteAny buyers out there for that 'hood?
$100k to demo and pave... best deal in town.
2:04 --
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that I could stomach Barrie and Norm Conway at the same time! Throw in Comegys and I would have to vomit on the spot.
2:55 --
ReplyDeleteSo why is it a joint application instead of 2 separate ones?
Because the mare promoted her grant writer to assistant city administrator to take over John Picks job?
ReplyDeleteThis could be a harbinger -- see the next post in the stack about the "Obama Express" economic subsidy plan and the waste that is sure to occur.
ReplyDeleteBARRIE GO HOME
ReplyDeleteJoe:
ReplyDeleteIs she off the prozac now?
George, it's 3:50 pm and you got
ReplyDeleteabout 80 comments so far. Best I can tell 99% are for you and 1%
against. That 1% has started
drinking early I expect!anon 2:44
I saw the mayor today with a scab
on her upper lip , at least that was what I thought , come to find out I was a bugger. This is no rumor comming out of the GOB!
With George it's the Dirty "Bakers" Dozen now. This mare is pathetic.
ReplyDeleteMaer Tilghman is the reason Habitat for Humanity never finished their Kirkwood development on the off Jersey Road before going over to build houses in the Church Street area. Tilghman is HEAVILY involved with Habitat for Humanity in Wicomico County! Even though Kirkwood is tied to a whole lot of grant money that was awarded. Hmmmm....
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is even bigger?????

ReplyDeleteYou all want to see the Bricks torn down. Ask yourself this. What will go there in its place ? A vacant lot, a 7-11 or another Crackerbox Rancher like those all over the City. You know, the kind that takes 2 days to build and only has 3 feet between the property line and the side of the house. The kind where "SPECIAL" variances are allowed for RENTALS. Where a normal family would not be permitted to build. These Crackeboxes are everywhere and have no character or appeal. Nothing like the grand homes of Newtown or Camden Ave. Who wants to look at this crap? This is why the City is like it is. No pride, no vision and no respect for its past.

Respect for its past? Which part of that blding do you want respect for...the bar or the brothel? You think you'll have any problem collecting rent there?
That blding isnt so bad it needs to be demolished....but it could be repaired and made for comfortable living for far less than 1mill. For 1 mill we could do the shell of 10 old bldings in Salis. I'm all for historic! I'm all for affordable living space!
But...I REFUSE TO ACCEPT ANY MORE GOV WASTE AND EVEN MORE SO IF THE MARE IS BENIFITING FROM IT!!!!!!!
406, I wasn't able to look inside the building to see if the 3 floors and roof were structurally sound, but assuming they were, my estimate on the place for remodeling to City Standards to 8 unit would certainly eat $1m flat. $100k makes it a parking lot, paved. If it were to be a 3 unit, then costs would go down to MAYBE $600k, but you're still talking $200k/unit. In that neighborhood; no buyers= vacant building. I say demo adds to the neighborhood and makes "open space".
ReplyDelete4:25 --
ReplyDeleteThe estimate to rehab it is almost $2 Million and that's a shotgun figure so it will surely exceed that amount -- for just 8 units -- that's at least $250K per unit. I understand the estimate has $30K for legal fees
It's completely absurd -- not just the legal fees.
I would have open my door. I would have told her "get the F off of my property". Then slam the door in her face. F her response letter.
ReplyDelete4:25, WHOSE estimate?
ReplyDeleteget a "peace" order to keep her off your property. We seriously need to see if constitutional rights are being infringed on here.
ReplyDeleteI think this sets a precedent....Lets show up to the mayor's residence with a one liner note...RESIGN IMMEDIATELY!
ReplyDeleteShe may not be welcome at her home... you'd have to see where she's staying these days.
ReplyDeleteI feel for the wait staff at Market Street Inn and Brew River tonight. Better stock up the mare will be looking to tie a good one on tonight.
ReplyDeleteNote to Matt, tonight would be a good night to be out of town.
congrats Matt {5:10} maybe soon we'll all get relief...
ReplyDeleteThe Mayor better watch out for Georges main girl Henrietta. She will whip her butt and take no prisoners. George is a fine man and doesn't deserve this nonsense.
ReplyDeletejoe,
ReplyDeletewould u please let everyone know what time and were to be on friday for your court date with the biotch
thanks
The cpurt date is not this Friday, it's the Wednesday following, the 21st. I will be posting a complete article about it with all the details as I expect the court room to be overflowing with people and Press.
ReplyDeleteSLAM THE DARN DOOR, Right in her ugy face!
ReplyDeleteThis article was the talk of the town today and I couldn't wait to get home and look at it. Feeding the kids was my first priority. Now that I've finished the dishes and read the article I can see why everyone was expressing their anger towards the Mayor. I live in the county but I sure do hope people realize a vote for Gary is a vote for Tilghman. They're going to do everything they can to get the college students to vote for them and steal this election so you better work hard and get people to vote. As for mayor Tilghman, you are a disgrace to man kind. I would like her to know when she's out and about there are many people talking behind her back. They may smile and act nice face to face but as soon as she's gone people start talking about how much they dislike her. That's not a very nice way to live and I hope she finds God and welcomes him into her life. She really needs help.
ReplyDeleteGeorge, if there's anything I can do to help you I will be there. I believe at our age it's a crime if someone assaults us. Not sure if verbal assault counts but I'd call the Sheriff and find out if I were you. I like your new rule about no cursing Joe but I surely would like to give her a few words I learned in the Navy.
ReplyDeleteThis article being the talk of the town is putting it mildly.
ReplyDeleteGreat Post -- Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteAnd: Kudos to Mr. Chevallier.
It's over 100 comments now!
ReplyDeleteAfter 100 comments, would you people agree with me that the Dirty Dozen has grown substantially?
ReplyDeleteYou better believe that list has grown.
ReplyDeleteI have a challenge for the readers of this blog Joe so please post it and I know her and her friends read it.
If Barrie Tilghman has any friends please have the courage to say so and please sign your name.
um, uh, ah iz a goot fren of da mare an shee gonna voat fo me.

My name is Iva B. from Albany N.Y. and I, along with several of my friends, have been watching your blog since you began reporting wastewater treatment facility malfuntions which have resulted in the dumping of untreated sewage into one of your local rivers. We are interested in how discharges such as those you reported affect the wildlife in your area. As the political events unfold in your area we can't help but draw the conclusion that the accidental discharge of said sewage may be the smaller of the concerns the citizens in your area need to address. You appear to have a mayor who is at least unsympathetic to the environmental concerns of your citizens and further seems to be of the opinion that she is above the limitations of the safeguards put in place by the U.S. Constitution that protect the citizens from retribution carried out against the citizens by government officials for expressing their opinions. I would encourage anyone who feels they have been targeted by this mayor to contact their local ACLU and file a written complaint. The ACLU is funded by your tax dollars and would likely provide legal council to support your right to free speech in much the same manner as your tax dollars are providing this mayor with legal council to file unsubstantiated lawsuits against you for exercising your constitutional rights. Get this mayor out of office and begin reversing the assaults which have been carried out against your people and your environment. Also, check out your state MDE website relating to spills of this nature. It would appear that all of the fecal waste due to raising chickens that actually makes it to your rivers is actually small in comparison to the accidental discharge of municiple sewage discharged into the Chesapeake Bay. Get rid of this mayor and any polititian like her if you care for your rights or your environment.
ReplyDeleteHey Iva B., although your intentions are good it is easier said than done.
ReplyDeleteI am also a victim of this witch and she hit me in the worst place, my pocket. People like myself can't continue to fight when I have a family to feed.
I feel as a resident of the city of Salisbury that Barrie Tilghman has taken advantage of ALL of us! I cant believe she wrote such a letter to Mr. Chevallier and flat out lied in her letter! What kind of Mayor do we have running our city? She has lost it and is now time for her to depart!

Iva B what do you think about the retrofitting of six foot diameter pipes directing stormwater runoff from U.S. Highways and parking lots directly into the same river? I contacted the local MDE, Chesapeake Bay Foundation (to which I no longer contribute) Basically the attitude is so what--nothing can be done.No filtration, no reservoir to allow heavy metals and other pollutants to settle out, just highly toxic polluted runoff dumping straight into the river through pipes almost big enough to drive a car through. THAT is how this mayor operates. Mayor Tilghman lives upriver from all of this, as do her close friends like Michael Day and her pet pick for mayor and flunkie Gary Comegys.
ReplyDeleteBarrie's writing cannot withstand even a moderate amount of careful examination. A few concerns include:
ReplyDelete1. In paragraph 1, "What information do you have that I own . . ." is a universe away from, "I don't own any." She's careful not to deny the ownership but to ask for his proof.
2. In paragraph 2, she restates not her innocence but her call for his evidence. Serious errors are plentiful as she uses "each" (singular) and "our" (plural) instead of the correct pairing of "each" and "his." Next, "I will further say" is verbose and pompous. Finally, unless she is a past president of the Wicomico Historical Society, that dependent clause followed by "I" is wrong.
Barrie needs to resign and to enroll in a writing class for beginners.
George, Mr. Trader and Ken all should get a certificate for civic activity. Men, won't be long!
