Recently filed campaign finance reports list a contribution by “Michele J. Hughes,” whose address is listed as “11571 Riverton Wharf Road, Mardela Springs, MD,” to “Friends of Laura Mitchell” and “Josh Hastings For Wicomico.”
The state property tax records show that the property at that address was deeded most recently to Michael A. Pretl and Michele J. Hughes, as husband and wife (tenants by the entireties).
Folks, this is very scary -- Michael Pretl was Ron Pagano’s campaign manager! Like Pretl and Pagano, Mitchell and Hastings, are liberal tax and spend socialists. All of them are worshippers of Obama and Hillary.
Pretl himself also has funded Hastings’ campaign. In this and prior election cycles Pretl and spouse have donated campaign funds to Conway, Mathias, Anthony Brown, Ulman, O’Malley, Pollitt and Michael Sarbanes. And in 2010 Ms. Hughes even donated funding for Davis Ruark!
PS -- Ms. Hugher/Pretl: do you know about the sexploits of Mitchell’s spouse?

Exactly 10:56. And what self respecting woman would ever stay with some man who is so lacking in self control that they are forever running around like a male dog looking for a bitch in heat.
That's democrat women for you. Never amounting to anything more than slaves and apologists for men. Nothing but weak shells of something that resembles a human being dragged around by the nose by men and obeying them unquestioningly.
Josh Hastings, Laura Mitchell and Mike Pretl are 3 lying scumbags that are or were officers in the Wicomico County Democrat Club. Josh Hastings is going around to a lot of houses campaigning and not openly disclosing the fact that he is a registered Democrat. He came to my house and I asked him what party he was affiliated with and he started stuttering and dancing around the subject like a little boy who just got caught lying to his mother. Josh Hastings very dishonest and is the worst one out of that bunch. He is going around telling elderly citizens and farmers that he is Pro Farmer and he even has the bumper sticker on his vehicle that says No Farmers, No Food. Josh Hastings attended a church service in Powellville recently and spoke to the congregation that he is pro farmer and that he is not a Democrat, but an Independent. Josh Hastings told the Congregation that he is an independent and only filed as a Democrat. How can you attend a church that you have never been to in your life and lie to these poor unsuspecting church goers telling them you are not a Democrat. Josh Hastings has pictures of himself on his website walking around a farm like he is really pro farmer. Yes he may be pro farmer and tell you that but what he fails to tell you is that he is pro farmer, but that is all you can do with your land. He will be pro farmer in your face, but he won't be pro farmer if the farmer tries to sell off some of his land to pay his taxes. Josh Hastings won't be pro farmer if you try to sell off some of your land to use to pay off the ever rising cost of medical expenses due to Obama Care. Josh Hastings won't be a pro farmer if you want to give your daughter a lot to build a house on for a wedding present. Josh Hastings won't be pro farmer if a farmer living next to Mike Pretl and he wants to sell his house to a developer to sub divide. You see these people like Mike Pretl go to every County Council and Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to speak against and oppose any development in the county, especially close to him.
Josh Hastings works for the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy which is an organization that tries to buy of farm land so it can't be developed. One of their main focuses is to downzone farm land so that tax paying citizens can't build on any farm land in the county. They are thieves.
Mike Pretl is also aligned with the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy and they will sue you for your property rights.
An interesting article from Sbynews. So it looks like Jake Day is aligned with Josh Hastings, Mike Pretl and the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy. So the plot thickens.

Cannon Supports “Green” Pick for Planning Commission
Wicomico councilman John Cannon is back with the Democrats and helping to carry water for County Executive Rick Pollitt. Today he voted to confirm the appointment of Jacob Day of the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy to the Wicomico / Salisbury Planning and Zoning Commission. It’s a shame that Mike Pretl and his pals can’t vote for John in the upcoming 38-A GOP primary.
While Cannon did everything but answer the questions put before Day in his quest to portray the nominee as an unbiased expert it is doubtful that voters who care about nagging little issues like property rights will be fooled. The ESLC supports ag down zoning. So does Cannon. No doubt that Mr. Day does too.
This needs to stay at the top!
Just a few exerps from a website that proves that the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy, Mike Pretl and Josh Hastings is liberal and dangerous. The last paragraph talks about "responsible growth" which is an attack on property rights.
2006 Cecil Land Use Forums
The following organizations contributed to the four Land Use Forums held in Cecil County in 2006:
Sponsors:
Cecil County Democrat Club
Contact Wyatt Wallace at 410-642-3028 or Joe Janusz at atshome@zoominternet.net
Participating Groups:
Eastern Shore Land Conservancy
Web site
Lawyers for the Bay
Contact Mike Pretl at 410-341-6234, e-mail mikepretl@aol.com
Please consider joining or helping one or more of the above organizations. They are where the "rubber meets the road" in citizen involvement in Cecil County development issues. They are the best means for putting pressure on our decision-makers for more responsible growth policies — there is strength in numbers. There is an organization near you that deserves your support!
Former County Council member and Planning and Zoning Commission president Chip Dashields also contributed to Laura Mitchells campaign. I don't know if it is a conflict of interest or not since Laura Mitchell voted on appointing Chip to the P&Z Commission. Democrats supporting Democrats.
Josh Hastings wrote a very liberal and tree hugging Letter to the Editor in the Daily Rag. You can't tell me he is not a liberal Democrat with those views. He is a liar if he tells you any different.

You people better wake up about this candidate. This can ruin Wicomico County.
I just read where Josh Hastings tells the reporter at the Daily times that he is a "moderate." So he claims he moderate, Independent and a Democrat. Obviously he can't keep his lies straight. We all know he is a Democrat and that is why he filed for Democrat instead of Independent. He is telling people what they want to here so he can get their votes. Typical slime Democrat. He lies to the newspaper saying he is a moderate so that he can get the Republican vote and shame on the reporter for saying that Josh Hastings is a moderate. I am voting for the Republican and I encourage everyone to vote Republican right down the line.
From the news paper:
Longtime resident Josh Hastings has filed to seek the District 3 seat for the next four-year term.
As a moderate who has spent time working for urban lawmakers, Hastings believes he can be a valuable asset on the council.
Could you please move this to the top for the day. It's hard to find the follow up comments when we have to look for the article. This is important for local politics. Thank you kindly.
Also Phil Tilghman contributed to Laura Mitchell's campaign. Can you believe he is that stupid?
Yikes !! Are all these commenters going to vote? If not than don't be a telling me who I should favor. I will consider your spiel if you WILL be voting in Wicomico County and Maryland elections. Other than that why does it concern you folks
Preto presided over the completely disgusting and dishonest Democratic Club Meeting wher he, Jake Day and Jim Ireton sabotaged Debbie Campbell during the last council election. It became clear to me that they will do whatever they have to in order to get what they want, regardless of how underhanded it is. That night, I made a decision to never support anything that they are involved on.
Joe -- please keep this post on top today.
Hey 9:15 if these folks wern't going to vote they wouldn't be on here.

If he was a good Democrat I couldn't believe it, but the fact is he is a Democrat and they are all morons. They don't have enough sense to realize they are in the wrong party. What a pity.

What makes you think these people won't be voting in Maryland elections? That was a dumb comment. If they weren't going to vote they wouldn't be expressing their concern on here.
Go back to your Democrat cave!
So what is it Mr. Hastings are you an Independent, moderate or a Democrat? You have already damaged your reputation by lying to the voters. You reputation is already damaged by being a registered Democrat.

I was there as well and found them to be extremely disgusting. I knew they were attacking Debbie Campbell so that Jake Day could win the election and Jim Ireton would have a yes man. Jake Day is nasty to and vile to. Jim Ireton rode in on Debbie Campbell's coattail during the first election.
Don't forget that Josh Hastings was the vice president of the Democrat Club at the time. He is in bed with Petl, Day, Ireton and Cook. Who do you think is encouraging him to run.
Josh Hastings is a member of the Peace Alliance. Another liberal organization.

So what the heck is the Peace Alliance?
Pretl, Mitchell and Hastingss. What a combination. Some idiot is going to vote for those two. This is scary. Don't forget that Chuck Cook, Jim Ireton and Jake Day is behind those 2.
Larry Dodd has committed his life to serving the people of Wicomico County. He is seen all over the County volunteering his time to make the quality of life better for his children and yours. He has volunteered countless hours at East Wicomico, Fruitland Little League, Crown, the YMCA and the Salvation Army coaching soccer and baseball and serving on their Boards. It is also known that he has paid player fees for kids who could not. 11:25 am and 10:55 pm what have you done. I met Larry Dodd a long time ago when he coached my son in Soccer. He has done a lot for our county and he has our votes. JS
Wasn't Josh Hastings the treasurer for Laura Mitchell's campaign?
Mayor Jim Ireton, along with other elected officials that included State Sen. Jim Mathias, Del. Norm Conway and Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt, attended the 2013 Wicomico County Democratic Club Crab Feast on Sunday, Aug. 18. Special Thanks to WCDC President Sarah Meyers and Vice President Josh Hastings for arranging and managing the event.
Pretl is a total fruit. He lives in a fantasyland where government and taxes will solve all problems. Go live in a third world communist country, pretzel boy.

Sarah Meyers and Democrat Club Vice President helped Jim Ireton, Jake Day and Laura Mitchell get elected to the City Council, but he claims he is an independent and not a Democrat. What a liar!! Typical Democrat wannabe politician.
5:55, yes, Josh Hastings was Laura Mitchell's campaign treasurer.Ireton co-conspires with Mitchell on lots of things. Someone else stated, they will do anything to get their way and my opinion would have to agree with that.

So I believe Ireton, Day and Cook are pushing Laura Mitchell and Josh Hastings to run for the County Council.
More proof that Josh Hastings is a liberal tree hugger!

Laura Mitchell is nothing but a drug addict welfare queen who refuses to get a job. She is trying to get elected to the county council because they pay better than the city. Anyone that would associate with Laura Mitchell is a gross dirt bag. Josh Hastings is a low life dirt bag to work for her campaign. Anyone that would vote for Josh Hastings and Laura Mitchell needs their head examined.
