Wicomico County Executive Pollitt's Office Demanded Nursing Home Pay Off Their Mortgage

Salisbury News has learned that County Executive Rick Pollitt has been seen over the last two years mingling with Dr. Scott Ripken at lunches and so forth. This is the gentleman allegedly trying to work a deal out to purchase the Wicomico Nursing Home.

Here's the deal though. Since it is a County Owned Facility, the Executives Office FORCED them to PAY OFF THEIR MORTGAGE. This is NOT what any finance director would ever recommend because it completely strapped the Nursing Home of ALL of their operating funds and they have been struggling to stay afloat.

So, what does this mean. Well, on the books it will LOOK like the Nursing Home is a financial burden to County Taxpayers. Thanks to Salisbury News Investigations, they will NOT get away with that portion any longer.

Now, a Mr. Bob Lanza used to run Genesis. Out of nowhere he was hired by Mid Atlantic Corporation, (owned by Dr. Scott Ripken) the same group interested in purchasing the Wicomico Nursing Home. County Executive Rick Pollitt then hired Mr. Lanza to assess the Wicomico Nursing home, his old competitor. 

So now a value has been placed on the Nursing Home by an INSIDER and yet NO ONE ever knew what was going on, including members that represent YOU on the County Council.

YOU need to keep ALL of this in mind when you go to the Polls and VOTE. Considering the Nursing Home has NEVER cost the taxpayers in the County ANY money, considering their services are SECOND TO NONE, considering Pollitt is so desperate to put up a DEBT FREE ASSET because he has spent so much money and placed the County in so much debt, he needs to be voted OUT. Did you like it when they sold the old Fire Station 16 for $75,000.00? Well, then you definitely won't like this underhanded insider deal either.  


VOTE FOR BOB CULVER!

Ripken is a quack, not a "gentleman".

Slimy, underhanded, greasy, and probably criminal in several aspects.
THIS activity will NEVER get the attention of the State's Attorney.
He's busy making sure the seat belt fines are paid, and shoplifters stealing batteries from Wal-Mart get the full brunt of justice.

All Republicans, good Democrats and Independents need to get out and vote for John Cannon and Larry Dodd over those two liberal tree huggers. This County will never recover if the liberal majority take over the County Council.

It would be in the best interest of all the voters to vote only Republicans in Wicomico County. Local Democrats are crooks and that is why we have a serious spending problem in Wicomico County and the City of Salisbury.

Cook with the help of the Obama and O'Malley Administrations rigged the city elections like they are going to do the County elections.

Josh Hastings is telling everyone that he is a Moderate, an Independent, a Conservative Democrat and now he is telling Republicans that he is a Republican. He started off leading them to believe that he is a Republican and then finally he started telling them what he thought they wanted to hear. If you are a Republican, Independent, Libertarian or a Democrat do not listen to these lies. This person is aligned with the worst of the worst Democrats. One he worked for was State Senator Joan Conway and she is one of the worst Democrats in the General Assembly. She supports gun control, land confiscation and same sex marriage. How can someone work for this woman if you don't have the same views as she does?? Laura Mitchell is also aligned with these same people and we already know her views. If you don't want the government taking your guns, property and taxes then you need to vote conservative and vote for Republican.
Vote Republican
Wicomico County Executive
Bob Culver
Wicomico County Council
John Cannon
Matt Holloway
Marc Kilmer
Larry Dodd

The Daily Litter Box Liner endorsed Laura Mitchell and Josh Hastings over the more qualified John Cannon and Larry Dodd. Wicomico County is circling the drain right now and this County will be in the sewer if those two get elect.

Have to agree with 427PM. What else would you expect from the Daily Times to endorse two Liberals (including one drug head) Wish I could sell my house and get out of this town but who is going to buy a single family house? The Libs want everyone to live in apartments, condos, and depend on the government.
