Getting Back To Reality

It's been a while since I've said this but I have a little bit of spare time and I want to thank each and every one of you.

It was almost 8 years ago when I started Salisbury News. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think we'd grow to what we've become. I say that because there have been some very serious road blocks along the way.

I started Salisbury News because our local media refused to expose things I felt were extremely important. I saw their agenda and it was, (in my opinion) not what the citizens needed to know.

I had to fight fire with fire in the beginning and quite frankly my Bronx style of reporting didn't sit well with many, especially those in which we were exposing. Nevertheless, over time we toned things down quite a bit. We provided documents, photographs and information those nay sayers did not want exposed.

The next thing I knew there were multiple lawsuits, all of which I walked away victorious. I didn't let those nay sayers bring us down and today we have something we couldn't have achieved without your help.

Our Contributors deliver information you cannot get anywhere else. Our viewers send us information that is not only real time, it blows the doors off the local MSM too afraid to expose something that they might get backlash from public officials. You know, like the "play nice" Mayor.

Salisbury News is a success because together we now have a place in which tens of thousands of people every day rely on. Oh sure, it's easy for the nay sayers to claim we're not telling the truth. However, you just keep one thing in mind. We have gone after many people. We have exposed more information than anyone else out there. Now think about ALL of those names we have exposed and think, are they still working here? Did they get re-elected? NOPE, they're gone.

There will always be people who disagree. There will always be that crowd who SAYS they never go to Salisbury News. Well, guess what, they're full of it. More importantly, because the local media has refused to either publish important information and or are too afraid to put stories out there, together we have achieved something they are no longer trusted to tell.

Salisbury News is YOU. Without all of YOU, without all of your help we would have never achieved what we have achieved. Yeah, I sit here sometimes 16 to 18 hours a day fielding phone calls, reading documents and publishing information. However, YOU are providing that information, those tips, those pictures and when we reach out to YOU and ask for your help, you always come through. Ringing the bell, attending fundraisers, helping to hand out Turkey's during the Holidays. More importantly, think about all that we have done together to help others on the Shore who are less fortunate. This is also done because of our advertisers.

However, remember one thing. Our advertisers would NOT be successful with their advertising if it wasn't for all of YOU. So you see, it's a team effort. I'm just the guy who has a place to put it all. YOU make it all work and I can't thank YOU enough for all of that support.

In closing, when those nay sayers send out letters lying about who I am, using my Son's name because they're not man enough to make such statements in fear of being sued, slam the door in their face. Hang up the phone when they call. Call the Police if they continue to harass you. These are the people/businesses who have been exposed. Let them know, WE'RE not going to take their crap any more. Together we make a difference. Just remember one thing. I do NOT have to do what I do here every day. I retired 10 years ago and quite frankly I never worked harder in my regular career than I have in the past 10 years. I could sell my properties and go someplace nice and warm all year round. Man, that really does sound nice, eh?

THANK YOU!
