“In an attempt to put some of this foolishness to rest, I am here today to answer questions regarding this matter. I have decided to stand up for myself and refute the false accusations and half-truths that the Daily Times feels are worthy of multiple front page stories. I am confident that my answers will allow the public to gain a better understanding of the lengths to which some groups will go to avoid honest, civil debate AND to prevent meaningful change for Salisbury and her citizens.”
Campbell responded to false allegations that she was in possession of a surveillance by categorically stating:
“I do not have this surveillance tape in my possession. I have never seen this tape. I do not even know that such a tape exists.”
Campbell attributed these malicious and fabricated attacks to a desire to intimidate her and put a stop to positive change for Salisbury and her citizens:
“Are we getting close enough to substantive, positive change in Salisbury that those who oppose reform have nothing left but to resort to these types of attacks?”
Today, Laura D'Alessandro of the Daily Times contacted Campbell and accused her of lying and criminal conduct. Campbell responded to the allegation:
“According to her (D'Alessandro), Mark Tyler of the Salisbury Police Department claims to have handed over the tape to me. Let me be perfectly clear about this. Mark Tyler never gave me any tape at any time whatsoever. I have not seen the April 3, 2009 memo in which Capt. Tyler allegedly makes the statement, though my attorney has requested a copy from the reporter. Because I have not seen the memo, or heard Capt. Tyler make such a statement, I can only hope that the reporter is mistaken, or has misinterpreted the memo, because it would have very, very serious implications if a member of the police department misrepresented the truth concerning an investigation or official police matter.”
Campbell, serving her second term as a Salisbury council member and representing District 2, was re-elected by a 2 – to – 1 margin this past spring. During her tenure on council she has been a relentless advocate for her constituents, particularly in the areas of crime, neighborhood blight, lower taxes, and financial accountability.

Mark Tyler. That explains everything.
daily times what a joke the best thing ive done all year was to get rid of that insane excuse of a paper. who does a want to be reporter think she is accusing somebody a liar when she herself has no proof
Yeah, he was also complicit in the Chief Dykes confiscated cars for cash scandal
of course a Daily Times reporter NEVER makes a mistake. NOT!!!
Did you read the email from Laura D to Debbie? Do you believe the brass of that girl? It's reminiscent of the Inquisition - you're guilty because somebody said so.
I don't see how a front-page story is such a big deal when the newspaper only has three pages. It's not like we're talking about the Wall Street Journal here.
Oh what a tangled web we weave ,
when first we practice to deceive.
Mr. Tyler you have a major problem!
Lets hope that the other news media here have the good sense not to become Barrie Tilghman's manure spreader.
Ireton now has overwhelming grounds to fire Webster (and Tyler, too).
Glad to see Laura D is moolnlighting as a prosecutor now.
Tyler's problem is he's a suck up to Webster so I wouldn't believe a word of his crap. Furthermore, why does Tyler bring this up 11 years later? Must be bucking for Major.
Hmmm, not to surprised by Laura and her inquisition. She's very abrasive. The Daily Times would be wise to rein her in a bit.
So sad that Debbie Campbell has to be dragged this muck and mire.
Did Mark still have the brown stain around his whole face - courtesy of Chiefy?
I think Ms. Campbell's response was the most professional I've seen during this entire charade and name calling episode. I have followed (and commented) on the other blog that was negative on Ms. Campbell.
I think the results of time and history has spoken the final word on this (non) issue.
Ms. Campbell, please keep doing your best for Salisbury.
Their are good cops and their are
bad cops , it is unfortunate that the bad cops are gaining on the good cops. As the world turns ,
get ready folks , we gotta make things right.
joe- i try to follow this blog daily, but may have missed something. is there any idea what is on this tape or when it was recorded(supposing it does exist)?
Anon 6:50 if you are fishing for Barrie and her chief ass kisser, go fish elsewhere. No one here is stupid enough to fall into the trap you are trying to set for Joe. If you want to know what is on the tape, go ask Barrie Tilghman.
Where in the __ell is Ireton?
7:38 i wasnt fishing, i was simply asking for information that joe may have already posted that i missed. get a grip and stop being so paranoid.
Laura D.? If she's related to former mayor of Baltimore Thomas D. that makes her a relative of Nancy Pelosa.What a bunch of rats.
Barrie is the biggest disappointment that I have experienced in a very long time. She would have had the world believe that her parents instilled values in her that has carried her through her life. What a farce! I don't know Debbie Campbell but I know what Barrie is all about now and she is willing to do anything to win a battle. Well, Barrie you lost. Move your silly a$$ to Florida and leave Salisbury alone. You have done too much damage here.

If you were to be told that Laura D. sported numerous Obama stickers on her car during the last election would that make you a believer? By the way it is Pelosi, not Pelosa.
Laura D is a POS seriously lacking in integrity, and self respect. Requirements for working at the Daily Times.
Chicago-style politics. It is getting scummier by the minute.
Laura D said "This information is false. Are you aware this is a
misdemeanor under section 9-501 of Maryland state criminal law?"
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this chick is trippin. She can't even get a story right and she is quoting law? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is to damned funny. She wouldn't know where to look to find a law on jay walking and she pops up with this? Chiefy your criminal code book is showing.
This crew is the laughing stock of the state.
