I'll Be Back?

Matt Creamer retired today for the second time. Maybe they'll put him in charge of the Airport where he can work for the county again?

Somebody needs to show some leadership at the airport. It's been a spend and spend concern for far too long. Example: rather than replace (with labor) a $2000 broken part on an otherwise completely functional snowplow, the late manager opted for a purchase of an entirely new machine to the tune of $120,000.

Matt has been double dipping long enough. Let him go this time please.

Joe, he needs to find a different "hobby" than figuring out ways to get money out of Salisbury and Wicomico County! Don't you need a reporter to be out on assignment???? LOL

I'm sure between him and Cannon, they will figure another return for this over-the-hill that should have been put out to pasture many, many years ago. He has bled this county dry for too many years. He smiles to your face, and slaps your back, then runs the blade between your shoulders. He is two-faced and a real weasel.

I hope that the new airport manager, just hired, has considerably more sense and initiative than the person he replaced.

Oh he won't be coming back.

I hope so too, and am glad that moron has finally left the airport. Maybe now more people will use Sby airport and those puddle jumpers instead of going to a real airport like BWI or PHL. That guy looked at and treated most CUSTOMERS like they were a terrorist or something. Maybe looking for his big moment to make a name for himself, which never came.

Good riddance to bad rubbish and I hope if he ever flies, he is treated the same way he treated others.

Hey Matt? Can you retire again soon so us deplorable people can have something else to talk about.

Anonymous said...

Wicomico has plenty of money, so what difference does it make how many times you retire and get rehired. There's a lot more of that coming due to poor financial planning by supervisors and/or a total disregard for tax payers money. Always remember, it's all about me.

Please DO NOT put Mackes on the ticket for 2018. He is a very strong Democrat. This county had enough of a Democrat when Pollitt was there way too long.

People complaining about others who earn separate pensions in different occupations? If people are eligible for a pension after 20 years of service, and one does 20 years in two different careers, why shouldn't they be granted a pension in each one? Whoever works 20 will be granted a pension, but if one is already collecting a pension they are denied another pension for working those 20? So, some of you want anyone who works 20 years in two different occupations, for a total of 40 years of labor, limited to one pension?

Am I missing something? Double dipping is when someone gets paid double for the same amount of labor that one pension requires. I don't understand the objections, unless they are jealous?

Anybody hear about tables being rented out by civic center maintenance workers to their friends last Friday? My guess would be no.

Anonymous said...

Have the tv sets that were stolen from the civic center a few days ago been recovered. Or should I ask, have they even been reported as stolen or do we just sweep this issue under the rug too.

I heard Andy Wisk was gonna be in charge of the airport since he flies a little light

I rented some tables from the maintenance guys at the civic center, they gave me a good deal and helped me load em. I have nothing bad to say about them or the civic center mgt for helping me. I enjoy working with county employees.

I work for Wicomico County and interact with city employees on occasion. Once, out of curiosity, I asked a seasoned city employee, who do you think are the harder workers, city or county folks. He said probably the city guys because they don't normally start drinking on the job til afternoon but the county boys seem to enjoy an around the clock experience.

How was he double dipping? Are you jealous you can't retire and then get hired back? It's perfectly legal you know.

He is being replaced by the County Council secretary. LOL

The only way Culver can boost employee morale is if he retires himself.

Letter to the Editor:

This can be in the form of a Question of the Day as well. Since we have had 3 terms of a screwed up County Executive form of government do you prefer a County Executive of a Council/Manager form of government? A council/manager form of government would be going back to 7 Council Members only and they share the executive and legislative duties of Wicomico County. This would eliminate the high paid County Executive and eliminate many of his added and unneeded employees.

Exactly. There are many employees that have nothing to do when there isn't a show or a concert. All those people in the ticket sales office sit around and bullshit with each other on their down time 75% of the time.

What about all those parts and recs employees. NO ONE hardly ever uses the county parks. NO ONE!!

Then you have all those high paid employees in tourism.

If Bob wants to clean house then why not eliminate many of those positions.

It's time to put the Department of Corrections under the County Sheriff's Office and eliminate those department heads and supervisors.

To 11:15 Poster - there are a lot more items than the replacement snow plow - how about the $50,000 dollar passenger exit ramp that the County bought for the famous and most profitable airline in America - Allegiant. Go look at the stairway contraption now - it's not even being used - and is sitting next to the main terminal building. And where is Allegiant - GONE!

Wicomico County wants to expand 5-32 runway and they just submitted the $250,000+ into their capital improvement budget.

Problem: The water tower at Wor Wic will have to come down because it lies above the height limits and is in the designated approach zone to guess what - Runway 5-32. This is true, I am not making this stuff-up. Go ask your's truly (Matt Creamer) himself. Everyone on the airport commission is also aware of it including the Wicomico County Council.

He will be getting 3 pensions after he takes over rec and parks and works there for 20 years

Someone had to hire Matt each time. He is a nice person and did good work. Good Luck Matt in whatever you do. Maybe Carl Peterson will rent you his pool house built with tax payers money. It took me a while to figure it out you were not part of Peterson's grand theft. Good luck Sir.

So there is still thief going on by county employees...the ring seems to be intact still. I wonder if a few girlfriends are benefiting from some of the supplies being bought. Is anyone checking the invoices against the actual items purchased and in stock, and who actually uses the credit cards??

Really do the taxpayers have to fund this position? Give Cannon or whoever is council president a few more bucks to do this also.Seems like a waste of money to continue this old school agenda.

Matt will still have an easy way to keep an eye and ear on the County until his third county gig kicks in. His little buddy, John Cannon, just moved in across the street from Matt.

Bob Bryant is only leaving because of the Wor-Wic Water Tower being in the air space to extend the run way. If the runway does not get extended there will be no commercial air service within 2 years. US Scareways is eliminating all of the Dash 8's and going to Jets. The commercial Jets cannot land without the extension. Bob doesn't want the bad publicity. Thank goodness he is leaving and they need someone who can really manage and grow the airport. Many people/business' have wanted to go onto that property and he won't work with them. Good bye Bob, don't let the door hit you in the rear!
