More City of Salisbury Maryland Shenanigans
There is a large development project downtown - not the beer garden or adjacent apartments - that went out to bid (private developer - you can see where this is going I'm sure) and will break ground very soon. The City has agreed to provide all the fill dirt needed for the project at no charge except loading and hauling - approximately 1,000 loads or about 1,600 tons. This is the taxpayers dirt and I don't think it is right to ship about 1,000 loads of material to a private individual's project at no cost. Why is the City even involved in this and why are they taking away from those trying to earn an honest living?
Must be the one on Riverside Drive in the empty lot. If it is - it still has a ways to go as contract drawings are at 25% complete.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone want to live in that s-hole?
ReplyDeleteSell the dirt you DIRTBAG of a Mayor.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying 1000 loads and 1600 tons? Math kinda seems silly here since a tandam can legally carry 22.5 tons. So 1600/1000=1.6 tons per load.
ReplyDeleteThey can do this because the taxpayer citizens will not stand together and stop it. Same corruption as the Democrats in Washington. I am sure that the developer who paid pennies on a dollar for the property is lining the pockets of the establishment for this. There is only one word for it "CORRUPTION"
ReplyDeleteYou really hate the city. Just like the left hates Trump.
ReplyDeleteExposing corruption and making up fantasyland BS are two different things.
DeleteMust be worlds smallest dump trucks. My PU will haul 1.5 tons.
ReplyDeleteHow about that shooting at trader Joe's in California sad.
ReplyDeleteRECALL FAKE DAY.
ReplyDeleteIt will go to the good ole boy network,Gillas Gilkerson rings a bell.
ReplyDeleteWho is selling the dirt to the city and for how much over the normal cost?
ReplyDeleteFollow the money.
The City (taxpayers) owns the dirt and they are providing the dirt to the developer at no charge.
ReplyDeleteso some project catch a break and others don't? They're making people not want to develop here. I'd know being in the industry.
ReplyDeleteGood Ole Boys = Freemasons
ReplyDeleteIt was free dirt they got from under the Main Street project, right? Somehow got "uncontaminated"?

That would be Gay Day!
Why don't I get a break on my taxes and water and sewer bills?
ReplyDeletelol if you didnt pay who would pay for all the give a-ways
Delete3:29....That's a very good point. They nowhere have enough on the City yard for the project. The funny thing is they have it already tested and approved for use......again at taxpayer's expense. IDK, it's the shadiest crap I've ever seen in a municipality.......worse than OC or Crisfield.
ReplyDeleteJoe look at this Jake Day Bullsh!t. Evidence that the local media is either ignorant or constantly protecting the wannabe leaders of the City of Salisbury.

Wastewater treatment plant improving local water quality
SALISBURY, Md - Since Salisbury's new Wastewater Treatment Plant was brought online, they're coming in well under the mandated minimums for nitrogen and phosphorous every month
Over the past three years, Salisbury has been working on upgrading its wastewater treatment plant, a $64 million plant that is showing the nutrient reduction levels they've been striving for.
With the new system, the city says they're experiencing a nearly 90 percent reduction in nitrogen levels. It's sign that the water is a lot healthier than it used to be.
"This upgrade took nutrients out of what we're putting into the Wicomico River and it significantly reduced the amount of nutrients so that's helping the Bay and the Bay health," explains Amanda Pollack, Director for Salisbury's Dept. of Infrastructure and Development.
The phosphorous levels in the water are also down nearly 50 percent.
Has anyone ever noticed how jacked up Jake Day's teeth is? I'm pretty sure it's not from sucking his thumb all his life.
