Mayor Jim Ireton Gets Served Lawsuit, Throws Hissy Fit


Mayor Jim Ireton got served paperwork today and even after getting served he called me a "Delaware Blogger" in his radio interview with Bryan Russo.

Ireton throws a fit saying, do the taxpayers really have to foot the bill for this!

So much for his worries about it costing the taxpayers.

Let me get this straight. You filed a lawsuit against Ireton for calling you a Delaware resident or blogger or whatever and after he was served he did it again. What an idiot.

I assume he's being sued personally and not for anything he did in his capacity as mayor? If so, the taxpayers don't pay for his lawyer.

Since when does he care what bills taxpayers are footing afterall HE used the PD and the states attorney's office in an attempt to clear his name?
I wonder how much the cell phone records cost because the providers do charge when records are subpoenaed.

Well, from what I've read and learned, Ireton's phone records can now be requested by Mr. Albero's legal representation since there is now an actual case before the courts. We don't know what the suit actually accuses him of but, it's up to the Council to decide whether the City pays his legal fees because he was acting on behalf of Salisbury or whether his actions were that of an individual.

I wonder if someone said I called them and I didn't, if the PD would investigate for me?

Joe as a city taxpayer, I say go ahead and sue, I don't care. Whatever it takes to get Ireton and Company off their high horse. A lawsuit doesn't have anything on the money shot on the WWTP and a $1,000,000 fireboat we don't need.

Has the ladder truck even been used yet for the reason it was purchased? I could go on and on, whatever it takes to get rid of Ireton and his minions.

Was Ireton at EVO to meet with O'Malley with Mitchell, or was the temptation to drink just too much?

You know, the whole SPD investigation about this was much like the investigation on the damage done at the homes of two council people, Debbie Campbell and Tim Spies, not much of an investigation at all!

It's like the actions were not meant to be solved in either instance, the damage to the homes, or the phone call.

Your suing because he called you a Delaware Blogger or am I being mislead by a comment made at 7:17 and your reply at 7:18?

Anonymous said...

Joe Albero is a very big part of the reason Jim Ireton got elected to the Mayors Office. And so were Debbie, Terry and Tim and the fact that he rode in on Debbie Campbell's Coattail. Not to mention numerous friends and city employees who he turned his back on and screwed over. He promised to clean the city up of corruption, he promised to replace Lore Chambers, John Pick and Paul Wibur. That did not happen because Jim Ireton jumped in bed with them. He jumped in bed with Barrie Tilghman, Bubba Comagees, Louise Smith, Shanie Shields, the Daily Times and Mike Dunn. Than God the Council Majority had the guts to change the law to get rid of the City Solicitor. Jim Ireton has to go.

And on the day Joe wins his case we all will be standing outside with our Albero For Mayor t-shirts on. They will not able to miss us.

While not a fan of the current mayor I am not sure a lawsuit against him because he called you a Delaware Blogger (if that is its premise) is worthy of a hearing. It belittles you both to entertain this sort of dialog. There are actual issues of merit to be discussed and acted upon. Just my observation...

JoeAlbero said...

anonymous 11:12, I disagree but respect your opinion. That is NOT the only charge in the lawsuit. However, Mayor Ireton is allowed far more opportunities with the Press and PAC 14 in which he continues to SUGGEST to the citizens I am not qualified to run for Mayor. This is not true. Mayor Ireton has in fact personally held my Maryland Driver's License in his own hands and knows for a FACT that I am in fact a Maryland resident.

He has been warned to STOP and he refuses to do so, even after being served legal paperwork.

I personally think its a disgrace that as Mayor he would immediately go out and repeat exactly what he's being sued for, especially after yelling in his Office that this will cost the taxpaters, not him. Jim Ireton needs to grow up and start acting like a responsible man, especially with our tax dollars at steak. Or is that, stake? I don't have Interns to correct it.

Mayor Ireton has been told, IF he goes public by recognizing I am a Maryland Resident I will reconsider my lawsuit. IF Mayor Ireton refuses to do so, it's on him, not me. If any one of you have a problem with the whole thing, contact the Mayor and insist he stop making defamatory statements.

Joe, you ARE a Delaware Blogger who is Maybe living in Salisbury part time. Doesn't sound like much of a case to me. Hope I can get on the jury for this one. What about you calling him a drunk for all your readers to see? Sounds to me like a more valid basis for a lawsuit. And I don't like Ireton! But this is ridiculous!

JoeAlbero said...

anonymous 11:34, well, IF the Police Chief had interviewed me on the record she would have heard from my lips that Jim Ireton admitted on the phone that he was intoxicated. I never lied and I never defamed Jim Ireton, I told the truth.

I AM a full time resident of Salisbury Maryland and you just cannot accept that fact. Probably because someone like yourself has NEVER given up important things for the better of your community.

As for those people who challenge me as to why I haven't registered as a candidate, I've stated several times that I will do so in September. That being said, if you have a problem with how or why I do things the way I do, don't vote for me, it really is that simple.

This is NOT Joe Albero's election to lose, it's the Citizens election to lose.

I hear Josh Roberts has a lot to worry about too. Word is Joe's wife and grandson are filing lawsuits against him and his wife.

I remember the local news saying Mayoral Candidate Jim Ireton was previously arrested for being arrested after frolicking on the beach and then running from the cops.
