Devenyns,
Come November 6, 2009 when you leave Wicomico County Detention Center as the Director for good, don't let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you. Good riddance. You truly will NOT be missed.

Hes going to Talbot County to ruin their jail.Good luck to their staff. G.k.will bring the place back under control.There will be no BS with him. Kimble worked for him at ECI is the only thing in question.wcdc staff will find himabove board a straight shooter with no nit picking bs. The supervisors will be held responsible for their duties.

6:09 I hope you are right. I still have the feeling that a grand jury will (or has) looked at DDD to see "if there is anything there". Time will tell.

Mr. K is a great man! I had the pleasure of working at ECI when he was in charge. Good luck to him! He will do what needs to be done!

No... Kaloroumakis IS NOT a good
choice. Ask the Officers who worked under him along time,both at
ECI and Popular Hill. He's well
known, and Not liked by Many....

This is more of the Same, from
the State ran ECI and Popular Hill,
Rejects,who WCDC does Not Need.

You just got Rid of Two tyrants
and you are about to get another
One that You are not going to like,
Just wait and see, just like with
Kimble.

Kimble was small time,compared to this one coming.

Better find someone fresh, from another state.

he was Not A/W at ECI from June 1998 until Dec 2005. Better get the facts straight,
He was Forced out of ECI after his
short stint, after harassing his
secretary and others.

Did you know that, Rick Pollitt ???

What happened to doing background
checks, before hiring people to
run WCDC ????

MR K , as he is known, is just
another Dictator from Russia,

and all at WCDC are in for a Big
surprise, if they want to believe
that he is okay...

TIME WILL TELL

He needs to STAY retired, and
leave everyone alone, at last.

another interim director of another department wonder how long that title will last if the public works interim position is an indicator it will be a long time. There are more quality people looking for jobs willing to work for less yet wicomico county or the city of salisbury can't seem to find any. That speaks more about the leadership of these municipalities than anything else. Watch out you spend happy O'Malley democrats look what happened in New Jersey and VA last evening. Those results should give Harris's campaign a big boost and might be enough to bring Ehrlich into the fray against O'Malley

Funny how managers who expect people to do their jobs get demonized and slandered. George is a positive, energetic man who will certainly give people a choice to excel or get out.

No one owes you a job!
If you resent management it is usually because you are jealous and lazy! If these statements upset you, you may have the qualifications to be a POS Union Steward. You can trust in Obama, he loves people like you!!

Mr K, as he is known, is another worthless ECI reject. Officers better look out because he is another snake that is not Officer Freindly. Then again they have Kimble there don't they? Two of ECI rejects that were forced into retirement because of their illegal actions running WCDC. Boy Rick you are ruining Wicomico County instead of making it better. It must me a Liberal Democratic thing.
