Salisbury's $84,000,000.00 Waste Water Treatment Plant Won't Work!




While many have wondered where the notorious Mayor Barrie Tilghman of Salisbury has been this past year, Salisbury News has the answer. She's been in hiding because she knew something none of you were aware of.

Ladies & Gentlemen, what you are about to hear is by far the biggest cluster, (you know what) the Eastern Shore has ever seen. The Salisbury Waste Water Treatment Plant could be a massive SCAM, costing Salisbury Taxpayers more than $40,000,000.00! That's right, it doesn't work and over the past 6 months your Mayor has known the system wasn't going to work!

Mayoral Candidate Gary Comegys prides himself on voting yes to a "Proprietary System." Here's the thing. Under accomplishments on his Campaign Website it says, " New Waste Water Treatment Plant (many years in the planning and design)" During debates and forum's he's constantly taking the position of just how proud he is on the new WWTP and how he was instrumental in the process, yet he has known there were some very serious issues at hand with it and kept it quiet.

This proprietary system has NEVER been made before, other than a model, (whatever that means) it has never been proven to work. It's a patented system, (so we were all told) in which, should ANYTHING ever go wrong, you can only rely on ONE company, (the company that designed this pipe dream) to fix it. Guess what, they can't fix it either!

At this very moment the company that was handling the OVERSIGHT of the Contractor has in fact been suspended. This is NOT good Folks. I have documents below proving the system will NOT work and your Mayor and Gary Comegys have known about this problem for quite some time. This is not the kind of people you want running your City, that's for sure. They want ALL of this to slide by all of you in the hopes of getting it past the election and then start pointing fingers later.

However, while Salisbury News has been aware of this situation since late Friday night, I held off exposing it so it would gain the biggest impact on Monday. To put it frankly with all of you, YOU'RE SCREWED! Mayor Tilghman sold you snake oil and Gary Comegys was the Vice President.

The Tilghman Administration has in fact contacted the MDE and have asked for yet another extension. Even though Mayor Tilghman stated we'd all be on line last September, even though she recently went so far as stated we're on time with the WWTP, SHE LIED! Her own State of the City Address said, it "was substantially completed in 2008." This was said on March 13, 2009.

A Consultant has been hired for the sum of $20,000.00 to come in and help figure out what has happened and what they currently have. In his letter dated 3-13-09 he stated, "It sounds like your treatment plant has been plagued with both process and physical/mechanical problems since start up." He goes on to expand on his rates both for engineering AND litigation. His litigation fees as an experts are $400.00 an hour, not included in his $20,000.00 fee. When "I" read litigation fees, someone is getting sued! Read between the lines Folks!

In a memorandum to the Mayor and Council dated 3-16-09 Mr. Messick states that "the City's engineering consultant, O'Brien & Gere Engineers, has been unable, after 6 months, to start up the new WWTP processes for compliance with the NPDES Permit Limits which are to come into effect on May 1, 2009." He goes on to say, "The City has selected another Engineer / Operations Expert (suspending O'Brien & Gere Engineers, Inc.) to assist the City in wastewater-treatment-process engineering, functional operations and adjustments for the upgraded and expanded WWTP processes and facilitate compliance with NPDES limits within the remaining approximate 1.5 - month time period, to avoid enforcement measures from MDE and EPA and prevent a non-compliant discharge to the environment from the Salisbury WWTP."

Just how much more of this crap are you people going to take. Here you have Comegys and Tilghman agreeing to pay out $40,000,000.00 for a system that has never been proven. They told you this thing would do things no other Plant could achieve, yet they never researched a finished product and now it will not work.

Ladies & Gentlemen, ANY good business person would NEVER hire a company to install a unique product for $40,000,000.00 that has never been proven! This is not a simple mistake. The Mayor, (through these letters) has been well aware that the system is NOT WORKING, yet she says nothing. The system was supposed to be up and running last September, it is not. Now, through Salisbury News you are learning for the very first time that things are not just bad, they're very bad.

This Mayor should be impeached immediately as ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The images below are the recent series of letters going back and forth on this matter, proving what I'm saying is accurate. You can click on these images and enlarge them and read for yourself just what's going on.

Gary Comegys rubber stamped far too many items as a Councilman. Developer reimbursements, the old mall, Sassafras annexation, the WWTP, can someone please tell me what this guy has done right? Muir Boda challenged Debbie Campbell for voting "NO" too often. Hey Muir, Debbie voted "NO" on most of the WWTP items too, what say you now?

If you want the entire Eastern Shore laughing at the City of Salisbury because the citizens were so stupid they actually voted this guy into office as Mayor, my God, give Gary Comegys your vote. If you want to wise up and throw these bums out of office once and for all, make a stand April 7th Ladies & Gentlemen and send these people the right kind of message, vote Jim Ireton.

Clearly this will be all over the local news by 12:00 today and if it isn't, well, then you'll know just how much power Barrie Tilghman has over the media. The documents I have provided clearly show this has been an issue for at least the past 6 months and nothing was said to you. The cover ups are over. The election is over. Get this woman out of the way because Jim Ireton has a lot of work ahead of him. Shame on you Barrie Tilghman AND Gary Comegys!

Good going, Joe. Ireton just won this election.

As for how much power Barrie has over the press, anyone who has been reading the paper with even a semi-open mind for years now should know that. The most recent example was just yesterday when the online version of the letter to the editor praising Campbell was mysteriously pulled after a few hours. (It's still there, but the link to it was pulled, so it may as well not be.) I bet someone at the Times caught hell for putting putting that letter in the paper.

Now THIS fiasco. Even after 12 years of Barrie's BS, I still can't believe my eyes on this one. Too bad stupidity isn't a crime. If it were, she'd have been in a cell years ago.

THANK YOU MRS. MAYOR FOR LEAVING US WITH THIS PILE OF S**T TO CLEAN UP. I can't call you a disgrace at this point because you would have to work yourself a long way upwards to reach being worthy of that title.

Seriously, great reporting. This is what happenes when you don't have an experienced city manager (MAYOR) at the helm. It's so much more than deciding what color the curtains should be and then going to cocktail parties and telling everyone how you made the big decision to chose the RED curtains. Maybe if she put a bra on, she could see past her boobs (Comegys included) and look at what has fallen apart during her reign. MDE doesn't play around. The litigation will be with them.

Seriously, Gary Coegys is an upstanding citizen. He cares about the people of Salisbury. We need to overlook his child support problems, and his poor voting on these important issues. Why? Because he is the ONLY person who can possibly lead us to the promised land. He is so smart! I can tell he is extremely intelligent just by looking at his picture. There is not one ounce of inbreeding there. No not one. He is a pure bred eastern shore native - and he is the one for the job. Can't you guys sense it?

Funny stuff, I have moved from Salisbury a couple years ago. I have many friends there and love them, but you could not pay me to move back.

I miss the OLD Salisbury, that was posted on the site a few weeks ago. Tilghman, you got what you deserved for running people out like Dykes and others that opposed you.

Comegy's well you have always been a joke, I remember when you bashed the paid crew for years when you were a volunteer, but when your house caught on fire you were screaming send the paid crew.

Its Unfortunate, but I dont think Salisbury can recover from this for MANY years. If I did ever decide to come back, I'd move to Delmar. Atleast Chief Sailor is still around.

Same old, Same old!!!!

Don't act like it is a big deal or anything. don't actually get angry.

Sad but not surprising. When you give people jobs to do that aren't qualified, such as the mayor and public works (I know what I'm saying, I have the scars to prove it), you're asking for shoddy and substandard results.

Soooo, just how long has it been that we should have known that there were some "difficulties" at the WWTP? Before John Jacobs, the previous department head, self-terminated? That would mean about three years anyway. Way to keep a lid on it, Barrie! And telling us all that time that it was coming along ahead of schedule.

There's a point where huge ego and lack of ability conflict, just as with most tyrants from world history. You have probably reached it.

HAS SALISBURY SEEN BARRIE'S LAST SCAM, AT LAST?

This is from Barrie Tilghman's "State of the City" speech on March 12 -- the same day as the discussion with the City that's mentioned in the first para. of the letter to the David Winslow from The Stover Group regarding its services to address the problems with the upgrade of the wastewater treatment plant -- i.e. she had to know about the debacle in progress when she said this:
"The largest project in the City’s history, the upgrade and expansion of the Waste Water Treatment Plant was substantially completed in 2008. Now we enter a demanding period of working through the first year of operation and ensuring that the Plant is able to meet the new demands of the NPDES Permit."

No mention of the failure to get it up and running after 6 months of trying to do that or replacing the project engineer, O'Brien & Gere! And how could something like that be "substantially completed" if it does not work?

You can't even get through the second sentence of a post without screwing up the spelling of a two letter word. "Is is Campbell?" BWAAHHHHAAA. I hope it IS Campbell who gave Joe the info. Maybe it's time for a little payback for jerks like you Nazi boot licking Barrie lovers to get a taste of what it's like to have YOUR life made uncomfortable. I mean, you know...the same way you've tried to make Campbell uncomfortable all this time. It's never been enough that jerks like the joke Mayor you seem to love didn't do anything but damage Salisbury, oh no. Not good enough. They had to constantly come after Campbell, one of only a SMALL handful of people in the city who was looking out for the taxpayer.

I can't believe that the MDE finance Dept has determined this startup consultant's fee's are eligible for 32% BNR grant.
Anyone know who the integrator is for this project?

Joe:

Can you say kickback?

Stevie Wonder could see whats going on here.

The real story is on the kick backs and cash out the back door.

Just like they do it in Pocomoke out in the open.

Keep looking, the money trail is where its at.

Did I miss something or was Dinglebarrie laughing and giggling during her update at the city council legislative meeting?

Ain't enough booze in the wrold to cover this up any longer. It's about time the TV stations covered the sceme team! A raping of the citizens. She blames a council person for leaking info due to litigation and in the same breath said she was going to inform the public in 2 weeks, a day after the election. I'm MAD AS HELL and we don't have to take it anyMORE!
