Is This A Conflict Of Interest?


Mr. Chris Handy is currently employed with the Wicomico County Humane Society. From what I have been told, he is working with the aggressive animals there as well as his main position as a Dog Control Officer, (aka, Dog Catcher).
Mr. Handy also has a side business obviously called U.S. Kennels. He seems to be taking advantage of advertising his business right there at the Humane Society in a couple different obvious ways. His vehicle and then the placement of an advertisement sign just below the Salisbury Humane Society's main sign on the main road.
So obviously the County is endorsing this man and his business. So what about all of the other Trainers, Handlers, Kennels, Groomers and heck, how about the Salisbury Kennel Club? They donate funds to the Humane Society and have done so for many years and they've never been given such treatment?
So maybe the Humane Society should have a billboard outside their location whereas "everyone" can equally pay for space and promote their businesses? IMO, this is a conflict of interest, unless the U.S. Kennels business is actually paying the Humane Society a percentage of their business?
I'll leave it up to all of you. However, if you're an electrical inspector for the City/County and you have a side business for electrical repairs, fixing and or working on jobs the City/County had you inspecting would easily be a conflict of interest. I personally think this falls into that same category.
I'll add, why is the City/County paying this man to work with unruly animals? It has been well known across the entire Country that if an animal is that aggressive they put it down. Not in Wicomico County. They pay this man on the sly to work with these animals in the hopes of turning them around. I can't wait to see the first lawsuit when one of these dogs attacks a child or anyone else.
The Humane Society is a vital part of any community. I think they ought not forget where they came from.
It's Lonely At The Top!


Barrie, you're a legend in your own mind. The Citizens know you're a phony and I personally know you're one of the biggest liars and back stabbers I have ever come to meet in my entire lifetime. What goes around, comes around. It simply cracked me up to no end watching everyone smiling and saying positive things when Debbie Campbell came by with all those kids.
A smart Mayor would have followed behind Debbie and taken credit for all the positive input. Instead, whenever Barrie came by there was this silence that was deafening. What a loser!
Sheriff Mike Lewis Gets Sworn In Today At 4:00


Through personal friends and numerous people commenting on this Blog Site, 4:00 at Wi Hi can't come soon enough.
Mike Lewis will be sworn in today and to be quite frank, I can't believe I didn't read anything about it in today's Daily Times? Nevertheless, everyone should show up in support of this fine gentleman and sit back and watch Wicomico County be taken back by storm. Congratulations Mike Lewis.
