A viewer writes....Chesapeake Waste Industries Losing Customers & Good Will
Chesapeake Waste has been raising residential trash pick up prices by as much as 35 % and appear to be losing customers right and left according to many Facebook posts. They have no website, no online presence with their policies and poor customer service when you call. They will not allow me to speak to a supervisor or owner. They have no agreements or policies I can find, and my paper bill indicated just an annual renewal amount for contract renewal on June 1 - no cancel policies, no notice of authorized credit card payment, no other details about service or changes in policies were noted on the bill.
On May 15, a full 2 weeks before the end of my current annual contract, they charged my credit card $ 392 without any authorization to do so. (I assume they have my credit card on file from a previous year when I listed it on the bill or called in to pay with it.) They received my notice of cancellation on the same day they charged my account but will not honor the cancellation with a refund OF ANY PORTION even though my current contract had not expired, and they charged me for a full year from June 1, 2019 - May 30, 2020.
Can anyone share their dealings or familiarity with Chesapeake Waste Industries on Brick Kiln Road in SBY? Any insight, experiences or ownership info anyone can share? I think Chesapeake Waste Industries was started after buying it from Waste Management in recent years. Can anyone provide background? I have no complaint with the service, just the large increase in price. Otherwise I would have remained a customer.
I am not looking to "trash" any company (pun intended!), but I'm not feeling good about this local company's desire to use fair business practices. I hope they will reconsider soon. It is currently in credit card dispute, but I would like to resolve it locally. Thanks, Joe, and thanks to your readers!

Shelby Vick is one of the band members for the ROCK A HOLICS and was the main person we had originally negotiated their rates for the weekend. He made the below statement about an hour ago on Facebook.

So it was my intention to not return to Facebook, but in the interest of doing what is correct, we the ROCK A HOLICS played two killer shows over the weekend at Caribbean Joes, on rt. 50 west Oc. And while I am not sure who or how it got started we did indeed get our agreed compensation, and are looking forward to a continued relationship with west Oc's only pool bar (pool officially opening today).
Baltimore mayor proposes public boxing rings to reduce violence
BALTIMORE —In a violent weekend for Baltimore City, police responded to a deadly stabbing and eight shootings. Police said 11 people were injured and two men were killed, including a 17-year-old.
City leaders are now saying it's time to try different tactics to reduce violence.
Mayor Jack Young said he's considering having people solve their issues in a boxing match.
"Gun violence has been plaguing this city for the last 10 years. The murder rate in this city and non-fatal shootings have increased. I'm not happy with it and neither should the citizens of Baltimore," Young said.
Young, along with City States Attorney Marilyn Mosby, attended a National Gun Violence Awareness Day event, connecting youth with resources, such as jobs, in an attempt to encourage them not to pick up a gun.

A Viewer Writes.......The money pit folked festival and Baltimore
The bigger take away is that he had to go begging for money in Baltimore for the folk festival the city could not afford? I give him credit for going out and finding money but this just shows you that the city can not financially support this event on its own.
Local businesses could not or would not step up to the plate and donate so he is pandering in Baltimore?
A fundraiser in Baltimore for a festival here? How does that make any sense?
Just how are they going to "fundraise" from a baseball game?
Walk around with buckets like they did at the festival?
He invites us to join in him Baltimore to fundraise?
How much is this costing the city taxpayers?
Why wasn't this party held at the shorebird stadium?
Now you know why County Council wants to play ball and give Jake money.

SALISBURY, Md.- The National Folk Festival on Friday announced the Baltimore Orioles as a 2019 stage sponsor for the 79th National Folk Festival, which returns to downtown Salisbury, Sept. 6-8.
“The City of Salisbury is overwhelmed with excitement to welcome the Baltimore Orioles as a major sponsor of the National Folk Festival,” said Salisbury Mayor Jake Day. “We invite our community to join us in celebrating during an event at Oriole Park at Camden Yards this June.”
The 79th National Folk Festival in 2019 marks the second year of the event’s three-year residency in Salisbury. More than 350 artists—musicians, dancers, storytellers, and craftspeople—will take part in the National Folk Festival, with more than 35 different musical groups performing on seven outdoor stages throughout downtown Salisbury.
Biden says he would spend $5 TRILLION to fight global warming
Former Vice President Joe Biden unveiled a $5 trillion climate change proposal that would roll back Trump tax cuts to help fund investments – amid pressure from rivals to match Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 'Green New Deal.'
Biden's plan would call for net zero emissions by 2050 and what Biden calls a '100 per cent clean energy economy.'
The Green New Deal sets the goal of an electric grid powered by 100 per cent renewable energy by 2030.
Biden in a release called it a 'bold plan' and a ''Clean Energy Revolution'' to address 'this grave threat and lead the world in addressing the climate emergency.' He has already faced critics who pounced on an advisor who said he was seeking to find 'middle ground' on the issue.

Whoopi Goldberg criticizes Trump for attending D-Day ceremony: 'They didn’t have bone spurs'
"The View" host Whoopi Goldberg was partially bleeped out during her criticism of President Trump attending the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.
The panel commended Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for not criticizing Trump on foreign soil during an interview with MSNBC in France. They noted Trump had jabbed at 2020 candidate Joe Biden while he was in Japan.
"He’s out of control. He called Bette Midler, while at a state visit in England, he called her a washed-up psycho and a sick scammer," Ana Navarro said.

Sheriff: Jewelry store stops deputy from picking up engagement ring because he was armed
STATESVILLE, N.C. —A sheriff's office in North Carolina took to social media Wednesday afternoon after staff members at a jewelry store allegedly stopped an on-duty deputy from entering the store to pick up his engagement ring because he was armed.
The Iredell County Sheriff's Office said they were "deeply saddened" by the situation that unfolded at Kay Jewelers in Statesville, North Carolina, about 40 miles north of Charlotte.
"The deputy took his meal break to pick up the ring and was met at the door by the store manager, who informed him he was not allowed to wear his service weapon while on their premises," according to the Facebook post.
The deputy told the manager it would be a policy violation for him to remove his service weapon while in uniform.

'I want to see Trump in PRISON': Nancy Pelosi tells top Democrats
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly told top Democrats that she wants to see President Donald Trump 'in prison'.
Pelosi's remarks came in a meeting on Tuesday with top House Democrats, including Judiciary Committee chair Jerrold Nadler, who is aggressively pushing for impeachment, Politico reported.
'I don't want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,' Pelosi said in the closed-door meeting, multiple Democratic sources familiar with the meeting told the outlet.
Pelosi, who fears political disaster if impeachment proceedings are launched without broad public support, argued that it would be better to see Trump defeated in the next election and then criminally prosecuted as a private citizen.

A viewer Writes.........City Of Salisbury
Lack of political will to make its core neighborhoods a competitive choice for families, an ineffective code and compliance department, and a mayor who just doesn’t get the big picture. Downtown will never flourish, crime rates won’t drop,etc. until somebody wakes up. Where is Salisbury Neighborhood Housing these days?
So sad and aggravating!

Robert E. Lee statue removed from Dallas park sells for $1.4M after bidding war
A statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was sold online for more than $1.4 million on Wednesday after it was removed from a Dallas park nearly two years ago over concerns the monument was racist.
The bronze statue drew a top offer of $1,435,000 from a bidder identified only as "LawDude," according to the Lone Star Auctioneers Inc. website. The second highest bidder, "MustangJerry," maxed out at $1,432,500 after placing 41 bids since the statue first went up for auction with a starting price of $450,000 on May 26.
The Dallas City Council last month voted 12-3 to declare the 1935 sculpture by Alexander Phimister Proctor as "surplus property" and sold to the highest bidder. The artwork features Lee and a young Confederate soldier on horseback.

ELIJAH CUMMINGS’S WIFE USED HER CHARITY TO PAY HER FOR-PROFIT COMPANY, DOCUMENTS SHOW
House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings’s wife has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars from her charity to her private for-profit organization, according to a previously undisclosed cost-sharing arrangement that multiple experts said raises red flags.
Maya Rockeymoore Cummings’s charity, the Center for Global Policy Solutions (CGPS), paid her for-profit venture, Global Policy Solutions LLC, over $250,000 in “management fees” between 2013 and 2015, according to the charity’s audited financial statements covering those years. The management fees were paid in addition to a cost-sharing agreement where the charity pays for its share of equipment, personnel and other expenditures.
Rockeymoore Cummings’s charity is funded by companies with interests before her husband’s congressional committee, according to the Washington Examiner.

HUGE! Investigation Into Ilhan Omar Reveals Alleged Fraudulent Tax Returns Linked to Marriage to Her Brother
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was ordered to pay a $500 civil fine for violating campaign finance law.
Omar had to pay an additional $3,469 fine for improperly used campaign funds.
But the investigation into Ilhan Omar and the findings released by the Minnesota Campaign Finance & Public Disclosure Board reveal something even more serious.
It appears Ilhan Omar may filed fraudulent federal and state tax returns.
Michelle Malkin immediately jumped into the fray and called Ilhan Omar out on her fraudulent marriage to her brother and how she filed joint tax returns with a man who she was not married to.
“Things that make you go hmmm: Read this closely and keep in mind that Ilhan Omar was legally married to Ahmed Elmi from 2009-2017 while also filing joint tax returns with Ahmed Hirsi in 2014 and 2015. Time to get federal IRS officials involved,” Malkin said.

MDP Chair Statement on Virginia Beach Shooting
I applaud the work of our Democratic legislators who fought to eliminate the gun permit review board, which regularly overturns the permit denials of unfit gun owners. Overturning the governor's veto of this bill in the 2020 legislative session is an important step Democrats can take to help prevent tragedies like the Virginia Beach shooting from happening in our communities."
