Other Illegal Activity The Mayor Doesn't Want You To Recall







There are a few different divisions of the MDE, so you know. One of them, outside of the one that fined the City $10,000.00 for being 99% compliant, (LAUGH) is the Solid Waste Division.

You see, for more than 20 years the City has been illegally dumping just about anything they want out there. Barrie Tilghman & John Jacobs most recently lied to the MDE stating there's no construction debris and or any other type of debris under the area where the Sludge Pit is. However, I have proof/photos that this is a complete lie.

There are old City Lamp Posts, concrete slabs and all sorts of things under the massive 10 acre open area that includes the Sludge Pit. The City was cited years ago to stop dumping there and clean it up and they simply refused to cooperate. SO, that being said, the Solid Waste Division isn't through with the City, its demands and also fines.

I am told by some MDE representatives it could cost the City up to $60,000,000.00 to remove all of this debris. Maybe this is why the City is so desperate to charge anyone and everyone for anything they can think of? All I know is, you haven't heard about this from the Daily Times and the Mayor is desperate to keep this information away from the taxpayers.

Again, the important question to ask Mike Dunn, Gary Comegys & Lynn Cathcart tonight is, where do you stand with all of this? Do you support the way the Mayor has handled things OR would you have paid the fines and worked with the MDE to allow them to put in the test wells the MDE asked for?

This mess isn't going away any time soon and these are the main reasons the Mayor is so desperate to get me locked up, so I can't remind all of you what she has been doing and the photos that prove such.

Oh, that water you see in a couple of the photos, that's a Salisbury Waste Water Treatment Man Made Stream where they were illegally pumping 1,000,000, (one million) gallons of water a day into the Wicomico River. They had two diesel engines pumping this water into the river without permits! They got nailed on that too but you don't hear much about that either.

Joe, What I know about the source of this rubble could be criminal. I'm not even sure I want to get started. I'll email you on it and will go from there.

For years and years the City of Salisburys' concrete work was done by one contractor, period! Nobody could under bid him and the rumor was that he had an inside connection with the city for a place to dispose of the concrete,etc... that was removed for sidewalk work. Now I wasn't in the sidewalk business and never had cause to investigate the validity of these various claims regarding the contractor having a free dump site courtesy of The City of Salisbury. The piles in your photos appear older and that would perhaps tie in with the asphalt and concrete recycling business adjacent to the County landfill opening up and providing a legit place to dump. Once again this is speculation but, it certainly seems to make sense timing wise. Irregardless someone is going to have one hell of a disposal fee as the concrete can be buried but, burying asphalt is a no,no and this stuff in the photos appears mixed together pretty good.

Hence the WWTP!

I have additional photos "proving" John Jacobs lied to the MDE by stating they hadn't dumped construction debris there in years. There's a construction staging area and is built some 20 feet high that was built on construction debris and it was built in the last 2 years! One of these photos shows the orance construction fence just above the construction debris. Thet's the construction staging area above!!!

They'll lie through their teeth and sooner than later this will all catch up to them. I believe they think they're saving taxpayers money and that's why they're doing it. However, in the end the taxpayers are having to fork the bill for clean up.
