A New Library Is NOT Needed


Don't you dare let County Executive Rick Pollitt or Mayor Jim Ireton fool you Folks, a new Wicomico Library is absolutely not necessary or needed. Look deeper into this topic and you'll see exactly why Council Members are being fooled into such a project.

You see, space has become an extremely valuable commodity within our local Government. The County has clearly grown, almost two fold. Space had to be given up for the County Executive and many others and this impeded on the City's space in the GOB.

The City has also grown with new positions and assistants that go along with them. There has been a contract for many years in which the City of Salisbury simply has to turn over $1.00 and sign the contract stating they take full responsibility for 1/2 of the GOB, (Government Office Building) yet the City has refused to sign the contract, even after we pushed the issue more than 2 years ago. Many Citizens were unaware of the contract to begin with and simply thought the City owned 1/2 of the building. Lord knows, you paid for 1/2, but that's not good enough.

So the County isn't complaining because they've had a tenant footing half the bills and maintenance but the City wants their own building. So how do you make such a project happen in such a horrible economy? YOU PLAY POLITICS!

ANY time our local government comes up with ridiculous ideas with wasteful spending, a red flag goes up in my mind and all I have to do, (in most cases) is look at the obvious. If there's one place money is available through Grants, it's a Library. You know, grow out of the space you're in and the Feds step in with millions of taxpayer dollars. I know, (says Gary Comegys, Barrie Tilghman and others) let's build something with a mini mall attached too for retail, just like Rockville did.

Well guess what Folks, there's an additional 12,500 square feet in the lower level of that Library. Did you also know they have a truck or two that delivers your books to regional Libraries as well. Oh, you may think this is minute but let me assure you, YOU pay for the employees doing so, gas, vehicles to deliver the books, maintenance and believe me, it adds up.

If they simply shut down the regional Library portion of their main building they would gain an additional 12,500 square feet, MORE then they'll ever need. Libraries are getting smaller, not bigger. Follow the trend. While it's hard for many to accept, the younger generations are now depending on computers and not as many books. In 10 years books will be almost obsolete, just like newspapers.

If they want to spend money, open more regional Libraries and do NOT relocate. The ONLY reason the City and County are encouraging this entire project is because THEY need more space and the current Library is PERFECT, hence the FREE GIFT of property from the City to the County, HELLOOOOO!

This kind of misleading governing has to end! We need fiscally responsible representatives and not bureaucrats. Now comes the biggest question. Is a new Library a desperate need to America? Yes, I asked that question properly because every single taxpaying American will foot the bill, (should they move forward) and we need to start asking ourselves, is the building falling down, absolutely not! Is it in disrepair, hell no it's not! In fact, that building was designed to last another 50 years!

Enough is Enough with this spending for luxury items. I have never once heard of one single legitimate reason why we need a new Library. I have been to numerous meetings and everything is a BS excuse. My Father in Law was the Director of the Wicomico Library System for some 20 years and he is outraged at this proposal. We spend millions of dollars on additional salaries for the bottom floor regional staff just to push books to other locations. It needs to be shut down completely and temporary buildings, (like Pittsville had) need to go up instead. If they're successful, build a small Library there. If they're not, shut it down, relocate the temporary building to another proposed prime spot and go from there.

However, building a multi million dollar structure, giving up extremely valuable real estate, simply because you want more space in the GOB is WRONG! I have nothing against Libraries. I have issues with being fiscally responsible and the MSM, (Main Stream Media) only reports what they're delivered and no homework is done as to WHY.

The reason Blogs have become so successful is because of articles like this. Citizens are, (in many cases) too busy to dig deeper into these matters and while most depend on local MSM to deliver them local news, you just can't do it in a 15 second television piece. The local newspaper uses the excuse, we published what we were told. So they don't ask any challenging questions and for far too many years massive multi million dollar projects went through without citizens being properly informed.

It's time we close that chapter and force the MSM to go back to their own grass roots and deliver more investigative reporting. Projects like the Wicomico County Library will only bankrupt this Country sooner than later. It is NOT necessary, it is NOT needed and the facility they are currently in will be around as a Public Library for another 50 years, DEAL WITH IT and stop playing games just so the City of Salisbury can relocate. Start buying up buildings on the Downtown Plaza and relocate the City there and put good money after good money!

Look at this project for its real incentive. Governor O'Malley will soon deliver a message stating he's cutting the budget by another $240,000,000.00. This means you're going to get pounded with more taxes and City & County Agencies are short another $240,000,000.00, let alone what he already cut this year. So Wicomico County and the City of Salisbury can't get a dime to relocate. However, IF they make this move with the Library they can get the money from the Feds and an empty building will become available for FREE. Wouldn't it be nice if our representatives simply told it like it really is. Instead, its rob Peter to pay Paul.

Salisbury Fire Department Wants More Fire Protection Downtown


After taxpayers became subjected to at least $14,000,000.00 in new debt by relocating from Downtown Salisbury, now they want the property owners to install sprinkler systems in their buildings, according to a task force.

The task force wants annual fire and building inspections along with checks every time a new tenant moves into a building. Does the task force have any clue just how busy the Salisbury Fire Department is right now? They don't have the manpower to fulfill such a request.

More bureaucracy and larger government once again in the City of Salisbury. While I agree with inspections, forcing property owners to install sprinklers, (especially in older buildings) is not only extremely expensive, in these economic times I'd say it would be just about impossible for most.

I can understand "new construction" as being a part of code but someone has to draw the line as to just how far these suggestions can go. I know, let's put sprinkler systems in the Zoo too, so we can make sure everyone is safe in their perfect world.

If Firefighters are so afraid of fighting fires, why did the City spend another $5,000,000.00 in new equipment to fight fires? Chief See tried passing this several years ago for residential properties and it was slapped down instantly. It was sad to see because I firmly believe residential sprinklers are essential in new home construction and is mandated in most Counties. The former Mayor Barrie Tilghman wanted nothing to do with it, so it died instantly.

Quit wasting every one's time and start with new construction. Reopen the old Fire Station Downtown and save the property owners millions of dollars. Taxes go up in double digits, you remove our Fire Station/protection from Downtown, if you want more fire protection simply open up the old Station again.

By the way Mr. Ireton, we didn't like having Health Care shoved down our throats, what makes you think we're going to accept bigger government shoving expensive sprinkler systems down our throats as well. We don't live in a "prefect world" so stop trying to play God because you conveniently think it's your duty as a Democrat.

By the way, we have Insurance, God Forbid something horrible like a fire breaks out.

Increase In Women Who Drink And Drive


WASHINGTON

The number of women arrested for drunken driving has jumped nearly 30 percent in the past decade, a dangerous trend that was all too evident when a wrong-way crash involving a woman in New York killed eight people.

The Transportation Department said the number of women arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs increased 28.8 percent between 1998 and 2007. The number of men arrested under the influence fell 7.5 percent during the same period.

"If you're over the limit, you're under arrest. This is a matter of life and death," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.

Tennessee Cops Shoot 59 Rounds To Kill One Man


Civil rights leaders worried race played a role in death of suicidal neighbor

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.
- Alonzo Heyward carried a rifle around his low-rent Chattanooga neighborhood one day last month, ranting about suicide and ignoring the pleas of friends for hours before six city police officers surrounded him on his front porch and decided it had to end.

His father says Heyward told the officers, "I'm not out here to hurt anybody."

But police, who tried unsuccessfully to disarm Heyward, fired 59 rounds to kill him on July 18. The medical examiner found 43 bullet wounds in his chest, face, arms, hands, legs, buttocks and groin. Police contend Heyward was a danger to others and threatened the six officers.

Obama Health Plan: Rationing, Higher Taxes, And Lower Quality Care

President Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats are rushing to enact legislation that would overhaul the way health care is financed and delivered in the United States. It would dramatically increase the role of government in virtually all aspects of health care. Such an initiative should be carefully studied to determine whether it actually solves problems in the health care arena or makes them worse.

National health plans similar to what President Obama is proposing have been adopted in other countries. They always start out promising universal access and free or reduced-price health care. But they end up with massive institutional bureaucracies whose purpose and function are to deny health care and medical services. Often they fail to control spending despite resorting to withholding care to politically weak groups.

President Obama insists that his plan to fundamentally restructure health care is needed to reduce costs. He has touted a report from his Council of Economic Advisors that specifies exactly how that would be done. That report, however, elaborates a policy of thorough government health care rationing achieved through government control of the financing and delivery of care.

This study will explain how the health policy changes President Obama and Congressional Democrats support would cause millions of Americans to lose their choice of doctors and insurance coverage, require that access to care be strictly rationed, and cause the quality of care to deteriorate. Despite all this sacrifice, nationalizing health insurance in America would require major tax increases, slow economic growth, and increase the national debt.

Study: Pet, Wildlife Source Of Waterway Bacteria


Maryland environmental officials say a new study finds pets and wildlife are a significant source of waterway bacteria.

The Department of the Environment says researchers found waste from dogs and wildlife such as fox and deer accounted for about two-thirds of the bacteria in the watersheds of the Furnace Creek and Marley Creek, two Glen Burnie-area waterways where bacteria levels are above state standards. State officials said Tuesday that the findings suggest that failing to clean up after pets can affect water quality significantly.

Researchers studied eight Anne Arundel County watersheds and found the major contributor to bacteria was wildlife, followed by pets, humans, and livestock.

David Axelrod's Ties Targeted In Health Fight

Critics of President Obama’s health-care overhaul are zeroing in on his senior adviser David Axelrod, whose former partners at a Chicago-based firm are the beneficiaries of huge ad buys — now at $24 million and counting — by White House allies in the reform fight.

The unwelcome scrutiny, largely from Republicans, comes at an inopportune time as Obama seeks to shore up support for health care reform. It revolves around two separate $12 million ad campaigns advocating Obama’s health care plan that were produced and placed partly by AKPD Message and Media, a firm founded by Axelrod that employs his son and still owes Axelrod $2 million.

A Health Care Question

Let me get this straight.

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, signed by a president who smokes, funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that is nearly broke.

Narrative: On 17 August 2009
at 5:17 PM, a deputy from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office responded to investigate an altercation that had occurred inside a residence in the 700 block of N. Westover Drive. Upon arrival, the deputy met with a female victim who stated that she was sitting on a sofa inside a friend’s residence when her ex-boyfriend, Dominic Russell, entered the residence and demanded the $20 that the victim allegedly owed Russell. When the victim informed Russell that she did not owe him any money, he pulled her off the coach, threw her on the floor and walked out the front door with the victim’s purse.

Another deputy in the area located Russell who was riding away from the area on a bicycle. That deputy located the victim’s purse in Russell’s possession. Russell was placed under arrest and subsequently transported to the Central Booking Unit where he was processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance, Russell was detained by the Commissioner in the Detention Center in lieu of $15,000.00 bond.

The victim informed the investigating deputy that the bank identified the payee on the check as Lisa Diane Caroll of Salisbury. The victim, who was familiar with Caroll, then viewed the surveillance video at the bank and confirmed that the person who cashed the check was indeed Caroll.

Our Road To Oceania

by Victor Davis Hanson
Tribune Media Services

In George Orwell's allegorical novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the picture of "Big Brother" appears constantly in the adoring media.
Perceived enemies are everywhere — supposedly plotting to undo the benevolent egalitarianism of Big Brother. Citizens assemble each morning to scream hatred for two minutes at pictures of the supposed public traitor Emmanuel Goldstein. The "Ministry of Truth" swears that the former official Goldstein is responsible for everything that goes wrong in Oceania.

In Orwell's Oceania, there is a compliant media that offers "Newspeak" — recycled government bulletins from the Ministry of Truth. "Doublethink" means you can believe at the same time in two opposite beliefs.

America is not Oceania, but some of this is beginning to sound a little too familiar.

We see Barack Obama's smile broadcast 24/7, in a fashion we have not seen previously of earlier presidents. A Newsweek editor referred to Obama as a "god." MSNBC's Chris Matthews claimed physical ecstasy when Obama speaks. A Washington Post reporter swooned over Obama's "chiseled pectorals."

Health Care Reform Dead? Think Again


It's a lock that Congress will pass it; the real issue is the shape it will take


From all the attention focused on the rambunctious town hall meetings, ranting about “death panels” and repetitive shrieking against government health care on right-wing radio, one might think health reform is pretty much dead in America. Think again.


Health reform is a lock to pass. The only issue is in what form. You need to look past the noise, fear-mongering, misquotes, inconsistent claims, inaccurate assertions and political gamesmanship and pay attention to what is truly at issue as Congress gets down to the business of reform in the fall.


Why am I so certain reform will happen? Well, August is media silly season. Anything that can get you to look up from your beach or lake reading to watch TV tops the news. That is why creepy Michael Jackson, animal abuser Michael Vick and a few thousand angry old white guys, some packing heat, all yelling at Congressmen, dominate the airwaves. Summer will soon be over, though, and that signals a return to a very different world of politics and media coverage.

Barney Frank Goes Toe To Toe At Health Care Town Hall


(CNN) -- Most Congress members conducting town hall meetings this month have chosen a noncombative posture to deal with angry participants who disrupt the proceedings. Not Rep. Barney Frank.

At a lively two-hour meeting Tuesday night in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, Frank gave as good as he got in confronting opponents of overhauling the nation's health care system.

The crowded hall had both supporters and detractors, but the opposing side was much louder and more raucous, booing the Massachusetts Democrat from the moment he was introduced and shouting questions and challenges at him throughout.

"You want me to talk about it or do you want to yell?" he asked over and over when interrupted while trying to answer. Continued shouting brought a sterner rebuke.

"Disruption never helps your cause," he said more than once. "It just looks like you're afraid to have rational discussion."
