Good Morning Everyone.
Today I will make an announcement many will not like. After 7 years of fighting many battles and bringing you real time news and information I have chosen to call it quits.
After this latest battle with the Foxwell Family, all of the Press we are receiving, it's just not worth it any more. I retired 9 years ago from the Corporate World and got so involved with this Blog that I simply haven't spent enough time at home.
At noon today I will have my final Post. I will share my feelings towards the Sheriff's Department, States Attorneys Office and I will go into in depth exposure to several other departments within Wicomico County and Salisbury.
I have been working very hard over the last 4 days preparing what will be a very long Post as a final hoorah.
I can't thank all of you enough for your support for so many years and I'm confident by the time you're done reading what I have to say at noon you'll completely understand why I have chosen to take this route.
Thank You & God Bless.

The end of an era.
It's been real, Joe.
Joe,
YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE MISSED. What a shame, but I understand!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
What can we do to get you to stay!? You are a valuable source to this community and are much needed! You may have brought some drama, but it is far outweighed by the positives you bring to this community.
I understand the time and effort you take to orchestrate this blog, but I want to make sure that your efforts don't go unnoticed or under appreciated. If you must go, I hope you enjoy your new abundance of spare time. You will certainly be missed and I hope you have effectively taught the people of this community how to stand up for themselves.
Feel free to come back whenever you're ready to pick it up again (It is my hopes that you will!)
The thanks goes to YOU my friend!
Joe, you've done an awful lot of good for this community. I'm definitely gonna miss your blog. I completely disagree with most of your politics, but the way you have uncovered the crooks in city hall over the years has really and truly helped this city. I look forward to reading your last posting, and bid you Godspeed.
WTF Joe? What happened to "freedom of opinion", "freedom of speech"???? Why stop now?
Hey Joe, It's been a pleasure getting to know you. May God continue to bless you and your family. I just hope your leaving bacause it's what you "REALLY" want to do, and not because of some unseen pressure concerning "current issues". The Joe that I met and got to know isn't and will never be a quitter. With that said, do what works best for you and your family. I will STILL reach out from time to time, so enjoy your much needed rest...friend
I'm really addicted to Salisbury News, please reconsider and please know you provide a very valuable resource to our - and for our community. Where will we get the truth now? That Foxwell grandmother is just plain crazy!
Mrs. Tom
Joe, I think you're making a BIG mistake. This area NEEDS you!
I understand what you're saying but this makes these sick people win and that makes me ill!
Please don't shut down!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless You Joe!! You are a wonderful person and I wish you all the luck and Peace in your life. Your Blog has been so informative to our community, you will be missed by many.
I'm sorry that some idiots in the area have made you feel it necessary to leave this great blog.
Once again, God Bless You and your family :-)
No, No, you can't do this to us. Bispice
10:59 I hope you're right!!!! Don't go, JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today will be an era ended for the a-holes in salis. But i wish you well JOE and I hope you will pursue the evil grandmother that has no parental skills only to bash others that have them.
Good Riddance!
Joe...come on man. People from all over come to Sbynews, to get their news! I moved away from the Shore 6 years ago. A friend introduced me to your blog about 2 years ago and I've been checking it out daily ever since. You'll be sorely missed by the majority of the community. You've done a helluva service Joe.
oh no!! What will I do ??? I read Sbys News several times a day (while at work) lol ... I love the way you keep us informed... and I also love your opinions! and btw... I almost fell out of my chair when I heard Jonathan Taylor say on TV that he doesn't cross any moral lines .. oh my god... what an idiot ... please don't shut it down Joe :)
Thank you Lord! End of an error.
Been a long time.
Don't let them win like this.
Joe, I hope you will reconsider.
Go find yourself.
You got to know when to hold'em and know when to fold'em
well if i had any doubt about the daily times being able to call itself a "newspaper" i am now sure that they just threw that out the window. it was a personal attack and an article that is in no way helpful or informative to the community. no facts just gossip. daily times, you suck
Hey Joe, any chance of you giving us one last video? Maybe you can continue on youtube and do your 6pm news updates as a way to continue on. God Speed my friend
I just read this and it makes my heart ache. Where so we get the truth now about our government etc. Yes I do hope and pray this is an April Fools Joke!
You are NOT a quitter. When the road gets "ruff" the "ruff" get "ruffer"
Good Bye!!!!!!!!!!!
How will all the lost animals find their way home? How about the companies that have seen an increase in their business since they started advertising with SBNews? What about the charities that benefit from the ad money? How about all the newsworthy info we never see anywhere else? What about that Joe? Please reconsider.
I hope its real, alberos egos alittle too big for his pants. typical bully runs scared when confronted with the truth. salisbury will be alot better off without joe albero
Nice try dude. You'll never stop blogging.
I'm with 11:18, Joe would never succumb to outside influences. Besides, where would real people go to get real news?!
"It is not enough in a situation of trust in the commonwealth, that a man means well to his country; it is not enough that in his single person he never did an evil act, but always voted according to his conscience, and even harangued against every design which he apprehended to be prejudicial to the interests of his country.
This innoxious and ineffectual character, that seems formed upon a plan of apology and disculpation, falls miserably short of the mark of public duty. That duty demands and requires that what is right should not only be made known, but made prevalent; that what is evil should not only be detected, but defeated.
When the public man omits to put himself in a situation of doing his duty with effect it is an omission that frustrates the purposes of his trust almost as much as if he had formally betrayed it.
It is surely no very rational account of a man's life, that he has always acted right but has taken special care to act in such a manner that his endeavours could not possibly be productive of any consequence."
In other words: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
hopefully, this IS an April Fool's joke.
Good riddance. What most of the readers fail to realize is that this blog was never about the community. It was about Joe Albero and his ego.
this is the best thing you could do for the city of salisbury. you have reported too much garbage.... Thanks for leaving
I hope it is just what Sunny says, an April fools day joke.
If not, I agree with Tommy.
If it is what you want to do and for your family, then by all means do what you have to do.
If it's because of all the idiots and radical thinking liberals, crooks and abusers, then please JOE, don't let them win.
I will be happy to help you with the blog if you need extra time.
All the best for you and your family...Chuck
i agree it has to be an april fool's prank...it better be one..
APRIL FOOLS
good grief people...
it's the first day of April LOL
APRIL FOOOOOLIN!!!
I sincerely hope this is not an April Fool's joke. While I wish you no ill will, I can say without prejudice that the Eastern Shore will be a better place without this blog. Conversely, despite yourself, you have managed to do some good on occasion. That just shows me that God will indeed work all things to good. Because of your intimate knowledge of the law, you have been able to skim by without a serious lawsuit or conviction of any wrong doing. But here's the thing, you and God know what you've done. The laws of man mean nothing to the Creator, which is why Jesus gave us explicit instructions on how to handle differences.
I pray you do spend more time with family, perhaps in counseling. I also pray you find peace with whatever demons have caused you to embolden on such a course of hatred, destruction, and mean spiritedness. I pray you come to know Jesus in a most intimate way and in doing so become the man that God intended you to be. God Bless Joe.
I am VERY sorry to hear of this. I have become a very regular reader, many times throughout the day to keep up with what is happening. It is a shame there are so many idiots in the world that think if you don't respond to their liking then you are wrong. That is what has unfortunately happened to this country.
You will be missed VERY, VERY much.
Where are we going to get the REAL news now?
Joe, NO! Please stay! Hope it is a joke. If you go there will be nothing left for us to read. This place needs you. And you are not a quitter - I know! You know - nobody said its gonna be easy :)
I thinks its funny how there are so many haters.....that never miss a post!!!! hahaha!
Oh no! I have been a faithful reader for as long as I can remember. Hope you reconsider but understand if you do not.
APRIL FOOLS! Gotta be, Joe's not gonna let that stop him!
I understand you have been through Hell, and I know you are a very nice man. But you did let them win. AND, Joe it is all going to happen, All the wrong is made to look like it is right. Winners are losers and that kinda stuff. You fought the good fight I feel, and this is happening for a greater purpose. You will be rewarded and well my friend. GOD bless you and yours. MK
***APRIL FOOLS!!!*****
I just started reading your blog and seriously people... If you all have an issue with him then something is wrong with YOU! He is just stating what EVERYONE else is thinking and is too scared to say. I like your blogs Joe and will continue to support you. As far as little Sarah Foxwell, she has touched my heart dearly but I have no feelings whatsoever towards some of the members in her family...my personal opinion of them. Keep doing what you're doing and never let anyone tell you otherwise!!!!
I assume you are not leaving, though the shock is certainly there. You inspire me at my blog: http://MontgomeryCountyDaily.com so I don't want you going anywhere. I'm in my second year blogging and just sold my second ad. I guess we'll see if you're really leaving soon, but I hope not.
Oh Joe---Know time with family should be anyones priority & for sure what you do requires sooo much time.
Have you ever thought of doing it Part/Time . That might be an option for you.
You know what is best for you & the family . I know you'll make the right decision.
Lord knows, will sure miss hearing the truth! EW
