Even When They Fix It, They Screw It Up!

Can someone please tell Public Works the lights go on at night, not during the day? They did in fact fix this particular burned out light but it seems to be light 24/7. I guess that's a good thing, right?

Perhaps Chief Webster Would Like To Explain This?

This is the beginning series of several posts to come in the future. Back in the day when Jim Rapp and I had our situation at the Salisbury Zoo, Jim called the Police on me. When they arrived, (mind you, I was 50 yards outside of the Zoo at this point) they immediately informed me that I was trespassing in a PUBLIC ZOO and I must leave.

The following audio is of the Detective explaining to me that I could not record our conversation and I respectfully turned it off. However, I had every right to record what was going on and in fact the Salisbury Police Department Detective broke the law. He threatened to confiscate my equipment and lock me up if I did not cooperate.

Much More To Come Folks!

47 News To Host A Candidates Debate Forum

I recently received a phone call from Kenny Beck informing me that 47 News will in fact hold a debate on the 19th of February. However, it will air on the following Saturday at about 7:00 p.m..

7 out of the 10 Candidates have been contacted and have agreed to join and they fully expect to have all 10 Candidates to be present. If you're one of the three Candidates that hasn't agreed to participating, please contact Kenny Beck a.s.a.p. because he's having a hard time getting through to those three.

Who's Been Locked Up Longer?

Considering these bikes have been locked up on this rack for a minimum of 2 months now, I'd assume their owners were locked up in Jail for the same period of time so far. Maybe they should relocate this rack next to the front entrance where they would be forced to recognize a bike sitting there for so many months at a time and do something about it?

Surprise!!!

Take a wild guess how long the Mayor kept this smile on her face once she realized it was me behind the camera? It was a sight to see!

The Salisbury Police Are Everywhere At Night

As cold as it is, these guys couldn't care less. One thing I can tell you is that the Downtown are is a place no criminal in their right mind would mess with these days. If you own a scanner, turn it on and listen in and see just how serious these guys are taking this area. Thanks Guys!

That's What I'm Talking About!

The name Tom Stevenson hasn't been on the Blogs lately but the man should be recognized for making a difference. This property was put on notice recently for all the littering. However, who owns the property? Good luck getting it cleaned up Tom.

Stay Warm Folks!

How Many Months Does It Take To Put Up A Trailer?

It must be Public Works constructing it.

Opening Fall of 2006

LOL!

THE FIX IS ON!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies & Gentlemen, I owe you an apology, (sort of).

Not long ago I had proudly stated that when it came to our poll questions, you could only vote "one time" in one year, per question. I was wrong and I'm sorry about that.

However, allow me to further explain. I had been speaking with a close friend who brought this subject up and he informed me that the poll could in fact be fixed. I immediately defended the poll by stating we had set it up for only one vote, per question, per year.

He said to me, let me give you an example. Take a look at so and so's numbers, so I did. He said, take a look at it again tomorrow morning. The next morning I looked at it and their numbers had risen by about a hundred more, overnight. Still not totally convinced, I went to his office and actually watched him alter the numbers right in front of my eyes.

That being said, many of the polls on this Blog Site as well as others cannot be trusted. We had been curious about why the poll on the $1.00 fee to get into the Zoo had started out in favor of charging the $1.00 fee and the next morning there were some 200 more votes in favor of not charging the fee.

The same went for Chief Webster. His numbers were definitely in favor or relieving him as Chief of Police for Salisbury and the next thing I knew, (overnight one night) his numbers also had risen by some 200 + votes.

So in my opinion, either Jim Rapp fixed the polls for the Zoo, Chief Webster fixed his own numbers, perhaps the Mayor had someone do it, we're not positively sure who did it but based on the fact that it happened overnight during the slower period of visitors at night, I'm now convinced they have been fixed.

You should be real proud of yourselves Chief Webster and Jim Rapp. You're lying to the public and covering your asses because you knew the numbers would overwhelmingly show the actual lack of support you truly have. One way to prove that is, no one is willing to make donations at the Zoo any more. Barrie Tilghman wants a Free Zoo in the City of Salisbury and she wants the taxpayers to pay for all these dead animals and the replacement of such regularly and since they're not coming to your door regularly to ask for cash to pay for new ones, the taxpayers simply don't know where their money is being spent.

As for the Chief, desperate people do desperate things. IMO, it's cheating and cheating is almost a criminal act. What does that tell you about your Chief of Police!

Jimmy's Grille, 2-7-07

You're really starting to impress everyone with your powers Barrie Tilghman.

ROTFLMAO!

Coming To A City Near You!

Exhausted? Hung Over? Sick????????

This Chef wasn't afraid to show the Public that he was not in any condition to do any work as he sat at the very front table in this restaurant trying to take a nap. I wasn't going to take the chance to go in and eat, should it have been the fact that he was sick! Sorry Charles, no ambulance showed up to take him away so you'll just have to keep listening to your scanner to find new clients.

Now That's Interesting!

I'm sure someone was walking through the Plaza with e 4 foot fluorescent lamp in tow and decided to drop it into this large trash can. NOT! Get a grip Barrie, the taxpayers are paying for commercial trash pickup on the Plaza.

Oh, so you know, it's against the law to throw away these fluorescent lamps, believe it or not. It's considered hazardous waste because of the mercury inside of the lamp. So it's interesting that Folks are throwing away fluorescent lamps in the City's Dumpsters. It not only save you money, it saves you from also finding a hazardous waste area to get rid of them.

If you ever see anyone throwing these lamps into a dumpster and busting them, let them know that they'll more than likely get a very serious case of cancer from the mercury they breathe in. Not something the Government is going to inform you of but it's a fact. For those who would like to challenge this, look up the word mercury. Do also note that this lamp is not green on the end, therefore it has a much higher mercury content inside the lamp too.

Here You Go Rayanne, Happy Valentines Day

Welcome To The Wicomico River Lost & Found Department

Within a 1/10 of a mile strip on the Wicomico River it was amazing to see just what has been deposited into the River everyone talks about so dearly. I'm sure the Mayor will claim it too is 99% compliant.

Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Rapp have a lot of work to do. You see, I'm going to find it VERY hard to believe these 55 gallon drums found their way into the sewer system and ultimately into the River! However, they'll do their best to convince people that the warmth of their sewage system allows these drums to shrink to the size of a coffee can and once it hits the river they expand and create problems for the environment.

Accountability Folks! It's time to bring in a new Council willing to FIRE these people and get on the right path. 9 guys standing on the side of the road when there's work to be done? Have another insulated coffee mug Mr. Jacobs!

2 Meter Readers In One Vehicle

Within minutes of all these pictures being taken, things got quite interesting. First there were two Meter Readers driving around in one vehicle at the end of the Plaza but they missed the first car parked the wrong way. Then, a few minutes later, another car decided this was a bright thing to do and they pulled in next to the other Dee, Dee, Deeeee and parked right along side of the other one. Oh well.

There's Another Scam In The Making!!!!!

Although I respect Mr. Bill Ahtes as a very successful businessman and a man, I do not agree with his attempts to get this old Fire House for free. There are far too many positive opportunities for economic and development within this particular building.

My first feeling towards this building is no different from what the Mayor and Council stated very early on and backed up all the way up until they started construction of the new Station, it is very important to keep this Station in operation for the safety of those in the Downtown area where much of what has been built is considered today an extreme fire hazard. Then there's the Camden Neighborhoods surrounding that area as well as the Church Street area to boot. Should the Draw Bridge be up and there is a serious fire, shutting down this Fire Station is just a bad idea!

It was in the plans to keep it open and that's what they need to deliver. However, should they close it, this building has some serious financial value. The City of Salisbury desperately needs funds to catch up to what Barrie & Co. have spent over the years and it would be vital to use this as a financial resource.

Put the building up for sale/auction and bring in the highest bidder. There are plenty of empty buildings in that area. Let someone privately donate one of their building that believes in a theater and keep the taxpayers out of the expense, they can't afford it right now. Keep in mind, two weeks ago I stood on PAC 14 and offered to buy this building and the next thing I know, there's Bill Ahtes trying to push to get a deal through before this Council resigns and Mike Dunn assured him it would be taken care of before then.

It seems to me that if they can create retired horses as surplus items and sell them off, how the heck can they not consider this building as a positive source for money? If the "rich" want to expand their lifestyles and house a theater, they can do so by proving they have the kind of backing to support such a project and not do so at the taxpayers expense, respectfully.
