Commenters Are Hypocrites 12-20-19 (12-29-19)
I've seen here and on Facebook people attacking me, (not that I care) saying this is a private mater and how dare I expose the Day Family. Well, it seems to be OK for the Daily Times, WBOC and WMDT, to do so FOUR DAYS LATER!
As I have sated time and time again. TEACHERS, POLICE OFFICERS AND CLERGY are to be held to higher standards. When and if they do something ILLEGAL the media has every right and even responsibility to expose it. So now you have to ask, WHY did it take four days and daily pressure from Salisbury News for your local media to expose it? Because they would've covered it up if it wasn't for Salisbury News.
So you commenters who choose to go after me for being first, bite me! Trust me, there's more to come with this story. Unless you're a rino cop, (Lewis) a liberal states attorney and a liberal judge.
Comments Worthy Of A Post 12-21-19 (12-22-19)
There are deeper and more sinister crimes involved here and the local powers that be are squashing them with everything they have.
Jake Day is criminally responsible also, among others.
Her crimes as well as other associates and “fixers” are not simple misdemeanors as charges state. It is a much deeper conspiracy involving persons at the school, the board, WCSO, SPD, the States Attorneys office, the Mayors office and their media connections.
Children have been physically and psychologically victimized. Yes, that’s plural. Drugs have been exchanged regularly on and off school grounds for compensation of various forms including cash, promises and actions of beneficial grades and treatment, and sexual favors as reported by students deposed at school and at psychiatric appointments. At least 7 WCBOE personnel are aware including teachers, supervisors and upper echelon Admin are aware of the multiple felonies involving many people.
People know. People talk when they see corruption on this scale. Especially when our children are involved. If the states attorneys office continues to sweep this under the rug because it’s politically charged and implicates people they were at christmas parties with even recently, those very people may take action against their inaction exposing them. State police and FBI need to be involved here. There is an effort for that to happen.

Question Of The Year 2019 (12-20-19) (12-22-19)
Yeah Sheriff Mike Lewis, now I have the rest of the local media chomping at the bit wanting to know what's going on that would make National News while some of us are being called "losers".
I happened to be at BJ's having lunch when a BOE person told me about these alleged favors and how juvenile they were.
Sheriff Lewis, you may want to get ahead of this one, if you haven't already and let the parents know what's going on since so many students already know.

A Viewer Writes.........Parkside High School (12-1-19)
HORRIBLE ! However, there is a HUGE coincidence or that wasn’t the end of the story. Students from Parkside have been saying there is 3 other employees at Parkside that have also been out / absent since the release of Mr. Eure’s alleged relations with a student . COINCEDENCE ??? The 3 other employees have not been back to Parkside since. My understanding of these possible truths are very disturbing to me. I have been told that 1 female math teacher, 1 female special education teacher, and 1 female teachers aide from Parkside have all been absent following Mr. Eure’s allegations. I looked on Parkside’s staff directory today and the 3 women are no longer in the directory. Hmmm…. VERY DISTURBING !
I saw on WBOC news the other night the poor communication the Superintendent gave us about the schools. Can she speak without reading her notes ? She continuously had to look down at her written speech, as she always does, and very seldom have I seen her look eye to eye with reporters. For no more information than she gives us you would think she could speak better. WE the parents NEED to be notified when allegations, truths, or information otherwise involving our school community is circling amongst our parents and students to better help OUR children ! How do we help our children if we are in the dark ?? The better the communication, better leadership, and better overall performance from our school board the better our community will be !
So, again I ask, Is the 3 MIA employees, other than Mr. Eure, from Parkside just a coincidence or is this information tangled up with the horrible alleged relationship with a student and Mr. Eure ???

A Viewer Writes.........Wicomico County Schools *11-18-19* (11-24-19)
Good morning Mr. Albero, I've been keeping up with the news on the continuous free for all that is Wicomico County Schools. There have been several references to Jake Day and the city of Salisbury's "close concerns" about the county School system. Wake up Salisbury/Wicomico county your school system has the state of Maryland and Jake Day's fingerprints all over it. Why do you think Jake Day and Mike Dunn have been like puppies following Franchot and now this idiot Kirwin they basically have kicked the door down flooding your schools with their progressive liberal BS. Dunn was blubbering all over himself about the upcoming after school program the city of Salisbury is starting I believe in 2020. Dunn stated that the program will effect close to 12,000 children from all surrounding counties and up into Sussex county Delaware. With all the ridiculous progressive liberal BS the likes of Day, Dunn, Cannon have supported what curriculum do you think they intend to continue to brainwash your children with? Your local government are all working together to extort as much money from the taxpayers they can to fulfill the onslaught of this progressive, liberal, socialist garbage they are so hell bent to instill. Wake up people their getting exactly what they want by infecting your children as soon as they start public school and you're paying for it all!! Where I'm from from the governor on down to these three stooges of Day, Dunn and Cannon all look at you as nothing but suckers and I have to agree!

New racist vandalism at Fulton Hall results in student protest (11-10-19)
The Fulton School of Liberal Arts at Salisbury University has been vandalized by racist and violent writings for the fourth time this semester.
The writings specifically target African American students and women. The most recent one escalated to violence and mentioned the Sandy Hook Massacre.
The writings were all found in stairwells that have no cameras.
This is the fourth time Fulton Hall has been vandalized, and the Salisbury University Police Department has not found the person or persons responsible.
SU students gathered yesterday outside Fulton Hall to protest and demand action from the administration in response to this repeated vandalism.

Violence in Wicomico County Schools **Viewer Warning** (10-13-19)
These two videos are of the fight yesterday that led to several kids at Salisbury middle being pepper sprayed by a deputy. In the second video, you can see that puny little deputy come in and try to break up the fight. Apparently, after the video ends, she realizes that she was unable to break up this fight between these two teenage girls, so she felt the need to pull out her pepper spray and start - trying - to mace one of the girls fighting but ended up spraying most of the bystanders in the cafeteria, sending several kids to the nurses office and home. Today's insanity revolved around nine separate fights Occurring today alone – resulting in that school being shut down. Something needs to happen with the zoo. It's just crazy
H2o Punks Need Not Ever Return To Ocean City Maryland (10-6-19)
I've been asked if these people were good or bad for my business this past weekend. I will post a sign next year stating I DON'T WANT YOUR BUSINESS. These kids scared the crap out of the entire Eastern Shore residents to the point they stayed home. They raided WalMart by parking hundreds of vehicles everywhere and using the parking lot like it was a sanctioned car show. They finally had to call in the police and have them all removed, it was crazy. They weren't there to shop or build economic development. They were there to take over and control, period.
Hopefully they come up with a solution to keep these punks away from here at all. ANYONE defending these punks in comments clearly did not visit Ocean City this weekend and or they're one of the very punks that hide behind anonymous who were a part of the havoc we had to deal with.
So the Mayor of Ocean City claims he's going to search for a solution. Here's a start. As they come over the Rt. 50 and Rt. 90 bridges, test the decibel level of their exhaust first. Have them rev their engines right then and there and if it's too loud make them turn around and leave. That will get rid of 95% of these illegal vehicles right out of the gate. It will also create a backup so long it will hopefully discourage them from coming or returning.

The following is a statement from Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan (9-29-19)
I cannot say enough about the men and women of the Ocean City Police Department, the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, the Maryland State Police, Maryland Natural Resources Police, Maryland Transportation Police and the other allied agencies that were here this weekend. They went far beyond the call of duty in their attempts to enforce the law and to protect our community while at the same time placing themselves in harm’s way.
The Mayor and City Council must immediately begin working with Police Chief Buzzuro, City Manager Doug Miller and State Agencies to put a plan in place to stop this ciaos. All potential actions should be considered. This includes, but should not be limited to, declaring a State of Emergency. I plan to speak with the Governor this week to discuss this in detail and ask for his assistance.
We cannot let what happened in Ocean City this weekend define us as a community. This must stop and it must stop now."

Progressive Jake Day is a big spender of other people's money (8-18-19)
I have a way to get money for the homeless and give a raise to our police and hire more police in the City of Salisbury. Get out your calculators:
Let's pretend Salisbury is a biking community. Here's a rhetorical question, what % of the population makes us a biking community, our population is about 33,000 people? I was told there were hundreds of people in the bike club, not thousands (I don't believe it anyway). But let's just say, for arguments sake, we have 900 bikers in this community. That is 2.37% of the total population. The council just approved ANOTHER 3.3 million dollars to be spent on the biking community (I was there and witnessed this expenditure). With just those numbers alone, we are spending $3666 per biker. (To bring this into perspective, we have about 900 homeless in the Salisbury area). Now let's talk some real numbers. If we have 300 bicyclists in our community and we spent 8 million dollars (which is much closer to the real number) on bike lanes, which includes widening roads, etc... We are spending 26,666.67 dollars per biker. I am not including the bike races we have here where thousands of bikers from all over come into Salisbury to compete. If we did not spend money on bicyclists we would have 8,889 dollars we could spend on each homeless individual (based on a 900 person homeless population). If we cut that money in half we would have enough money to give raises to our police force, be able to hire more police, and help the homeless. Put a calculator on it.
In short; this guy is a typical progressive liberal that has no idea how to prioritize our tax money.
BTW, we need a conservative Salisbury resident to run against Muir Boda. He is not a republican and he told me, to my face, that he is voting for Jake Day for mayor. He also said if I want the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) on last years Folk Festival that I have to call the National Folk Festival to find out how our tax money was spent. He also said that no one in City Hall knew about the killing of the geese. He suggested at first they can't control the Fed and they just decided to kill them... then he changed his mind. He said a Salisbury resident must have called the USDA and complained about the geese and that's why they came down and killed them. He said that Jake and no one on the council knew anything about the geese murders until someone called and complained.
I asked him about the 13 story high rise and where people were going to park. He said that they are building a bridge from the high rise to the parking garage and they can park on the 3rd floor. I asked him how many parking spaces are up there, he said he did not know. Well, the county rents that 3rd floor parking anyway, so the answer is really zero.
Then I asked him how about the large parking lot across from where the high rise is going up (it is behind the courthouse on Rt. 13 and holds over 250 cars.) He said he can't tell me because it was discussed in a private session of the council and I was not privy to that information because the lot is being sold. I asked him who was buying the parking lot across from where the high rise is going up. Again, he said he can't tell me. That is our land people, we should know. No transparency.
Then I asked him why we are spending millions of dollars on bike lanes when we are not a bike community. He agreed we were not a bike community yet, but we will be. So I said, "so we are going to force people to ride bikes, like a 300lb man?". On rainy days when people do want to drive, there will be no parking. Aren't we going to need parking if the downtown is actually revitalized?
I also asked him why our roads and sidewalks weren't being fixed. He said 25 of the construction people were fired... not sure, but I think he said the county did it.
I never saw a person say so many lies in such a short amount of time in my life. And guess who is feeding him these lies.
Anyway, I packed my stuff up and said I will never come to another Republican Club meeting as long as I see Muir's face there. He's a mole and a liar. And I have been told he is the vice-president of the republican committee. HOLY CRAP!!!! No wonder Republicans can't get anything done in this city.
I am here to clean this crap up, and if you elect me, one of the first things I am going to do is bring a private CPA Auditing Firm in to Audit our City. Haven't the people of Salisbury had enough of the lies, corruption and deception.
Yours Truly,

A Viewer Writes....Mayor's Bike Lane Causes Confusion & Back Ups by PRMC (8-11-19)
Picture taken at 2:45 pm Tuesday, 8/6/2019. - These cars just missed the green light onto Carroll Street and immediately created this back-up on Waverly Drive for the Mayor's Bike Lane. Each direction on Waverly Drive is now and forever a single lane. This back-up/bike lane will easily block the entrance into the Emergency Room at PRMC and imagine what the back up will be at 5PM or when schools let out.
Posted 8/5/19 on Facebook by a PRMC physician:
Does the City of Salisbury plan on distributing a printed list of instructions detailing what to do if one finds himself in the unfortunate circumstance of traveling north on Waverly Drive? That paint job appears to be a drug-induced collaboration between Rube Goldberg and Pablo Picasso. If anyone finds me stopped in the middle of the street sobbing on my steering wheel, please help me out of the car and escort me safely to the curb.
COMMENTS:
Be careful what you ask for; you may be inviting vehicular euthanasia...; )
I saw someone weaving through cones last week.
It’s just stupid!
As a cyclist, I understand and appreciate what they were TRYING to do. It just seems like the execution is lacking. Maybe there's more paint to come which will clarify it all.
I agree but what I can’t understand is that cars have an inside leasing lane now... and we know that’s outside of being intelligent
I thought the same thing! Crazy
Jacob Day gave a full explanation on someone else's wall. All will work out. Stay safe
I guess one has to be a Facebook friend of that person to see what's on his wall. I guess I'll just have to be patient and not kill any pedestrians in the meantime.
I was JUST talking about that crazy paint job! What in the world!?!?
Love Jacob Day.. but the execution of good thinking wasn’t carried out.
Jacob Day responds: Wrong. Politicians don’t engineer streets. And the engineers did a fine job following the law. The construction isn’t complete.
I know that! It wasn’t an attack at all... u know me better than that!! I would do a public thing with that... I just think it’s crazy
Sounds like we need more patience, grasshopper.
I have none.
Jacob Day responds: oh ok I got tagged so it seemed directed at me. I know we’re cool! My point is it isn’t a crazy or confusing design, it’s just not complete. That said, when complete, it will be a design that forces cars to slow down.
Separate argument ... crazy that we need to tell people to slow down.... in a residential area..... these people are stupid
it is a shame. But I will say this, while people should take responsibility for their speed, when a street is safe to move down at 25 mph but is designed to signal to drivers that it should be maneuvered at 50 mph, whose fault is it when they drive 50 mph? We can design streets to be safer. Yes, it will slow us down and people will be aggravated... but it will save lives.
It’s not complete. This is stage 1.
Jacob Day responds: It’s in the middle of construction. When the contractor is done it will be crystal clear: it’s a standard 2-lane street, removing the old weaving pattern and compliant with the new State Vision Zero Law. The bike lanes (temporarily stripe-separated) will he separated with physical barriers.
Mayor Day, thanks for coming on here and putting us all at ease! What's the timeline for completion?
Jacob Day responds: I’m not, sure since the contractors are not bound to complete projects within days. That said, our team will step in tomorrow if they aren’t done and will drop more cones in the interim until complete. The work that remains, I believe, includes all of the thermoplastic lane indicators, the final striping near Carroll, the vertical signage, the zebra barriers that go on top of the diagonal striping to keep cars out of the bike lanes and the vertical barriers to keep cars from turning into the bike lanes accidentally. I’ll share examples of those images in a second.
Jacob Day responds: And the zebra/zicla barriers are intended to be temporary here as the striped area will eventually be replaced with curbed, planted medians.
I use Waverly multiple times a day, but since this started I am using Rt. 13 more. Seems it will work when finished, but right now I feel every one is confused and I am taking an alternate route.
Yup. I kept swerving back and forth between the “sections” bc I couldn’t figure out where I was supposed to be. I know the people behind me had to think I was drunk.
I slowed down to 10 MPH.. Not sure if this was the best thing to do!
Salisbury Mayor Jake Day's Lying, Dirty Tactics (8-4-19)
I would like to apologize to my real followers about my Facebook News feed being flooded yesterday by Jake Day's cronies. Pagano, KT, Pope, Campbell, and more. Also, some are literally creating fake profiles and trying to infiltrate this FB page. Last night, his friend GREG MAC was using an alias "Scott Wayne" to try to get dirt on me directly through messenger. Jake is so concerned about my candidacy he is using these tactics to try to corrupt my followers. If you notice, they are accusing me of saying things I did not say and putting words in my mouth. To combat these remarks all you have to do is go to my website and read my platform.
I promise I will run a campaign based on my POLICIES. Jake is concerned his policies will not get him re-elected so he is trying dirty tactics. He is trying to to get me to say something stupid.
Like I said, just go to my website and read my platform if you want to know what my policies are: www.wkformayor.com

I'm Sick And Tired Of The Walmart Check Out People (7-28-19)
Editor's note: This is not my video. This is of another person that had an issue with them checking the receipt.
Like most people, I hate shopping. I'm am an in and out kind of person. I know what I want, I go directly to those products and I'm out of there.
Yesterday I went to purchase items at Walmart in Salisbury, (North) and as I was leaving I was stopped and a person demanded I give up my receipt. I had just paid CASH for MY items, (no longer theirs) and I was detained and forced to give up my receipt. At this point they started checking every single item in my cart.
I am not only an extremely busy person, I don't have time for this crap and quite frankly I am NOT A THIEF. Of course every item in my cart was accounted for on my receipt.
I can assure you, the next time this happens there will be the biggest scene Walmart has ever seen and I recommend to every one of you do the same. What they are doing is illegal, they cannot detain us like this. The guy in Salisbury was a complete jackass and had no respect for my rights. Hopefully someone at the north Walmart sees this article and goes back to their footage from yesterday around 8:30 AM and watch me argue with this person. Walmart has no right whatsoever to do this to people and if it happens to me again I'm going to file a lawsuit, I'm done with this crap.

Mayor Jake Day Kills Off 400 Canada Geese In The City of Salisbury Maryland (7-14-19)
Some leave constellations of droppings along the river, others down fairways, while others are watched happily as they graze.
But hundreds fewer geese are going to be seen waddling around Salisbury for the time being.
Kevin Sullivan of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services confirmed his team humanely euthanized 362 resident Canada geese two weeks ago, brought in by request of the city of Salisbury to manage "an excessive population."
"The city of Salisbury reached out to USDA Wildlife Services to see how they might manage an over-population of Canada geese throughout the city, leaving droppings and over-grazing, habitat damage (and) polluting waters," said Sullivan, director for Maryland, Delaware and Washington D.C.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources conducts an annual waterfowl survey, and the estimated Canada goose population decreased by about 61% from 2018 to 2019 — resting at about 250,200 state-wide as of February estimates.
No estimates from Salisbury could be provided.

We already have the throw away pay for a bike ride program! Now all we need is to dedicate and reconfigure our narrow streets to accommodate the flood of all those rentabikes. Our new population of poor but healthy people!
Uber will be a thing of the past.
Get your rickshaw polished up and ready!
Dust off your walkin shoes.

WCSO Press Release 6-4-19 (Fleeing and Eluding Incident) Drowning (6-9-19)
Incident: Fleeing and Eluding Incident
Date of Incident: 4 June 2019
Location: 100 block of East Carroll Street, Salisbury, MD
Suspect: Jakeem K. Jackson, 19, Salisbury, MD
Narrative: On 4 June 2019 at 2:08 AM, a deputy on patrol in Salisbury attempted to stop a vehicle that would later be found to be operated by Jakeem Jackson, after the deputy observed that Jackson had failed to dim his hi-beam headlights for oncoming traffic. Jackson pulled into a parking lot in the 100 block of Carroll Street, but instead of staying with the vehicle he began running from the scene. The deputy began chasing Mr. Jackson who had already rounded the corner behind the La Quinta Hotel, and while out of the deputy’s view, jumped into the Wicomico River. Upon approaching the river and seeing Jackson attempting to swim across, the deputy began running parallel to the river to utilize a foot bridge to the east that would allow the deputy to wait for Jackson on the other side.
Upon reaching the other side of the river, the deputy observed that Jackson was struggling to remain afloat. Before the deputy was able to provide assistance, Jackson slipped beneath the water and the deputy was unable to see him anymore. Additional law Enforcement resources along with Fire and EMS responded to the scene but Jackson could no longer be located.
After approximately ninety minutes of actively searching the waters, a Fire Department dive team located Jackson’s body at 3:29 AM.
Sheriff Lewis has requested the assistance of the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office in conducting an independent death investigation.
