A Viewer Writes: Remember the sidewalk patrol will be up your back starting tomorrow!

https://www.pscp.tv/SalisburyPD/1nAKEWdqalyJL

Catch the ridiculous conversation starting at 8:30 about shoveling sidewalks being "inspected" tomorrow afternoon.


Really?


We just had a BLIZZARD dump 12" of snow on us in freezing temperatures with 30+mph winds, that didn't stop until dark today.
Some of us HAVE to work tomorrow and you are going to "inspect" my sidewalk for infractions tomorrow afternoon?

Are you friggin kidding me?

Should I get up at 5 AM when it is 10 degrees out and all of this snow has already FROZEN into ice and try and shovel my walk?

What is wrong with this guy? Is he really that stupid? The snow on my sidewalk is already drifted to knee high.

Jake - the snow isn't going to come off the sidewalk tomorrow. As of now - 6PM Thursday it is already a block of ice. Are you really that stupid not to take the conditions into consideration?

Government employees who have been given any authority have become idiotic fools. There should be a mass protest at the county offices as soon as the snow is cleared.

Oh my, I forgot my Facebook login. How will I know if I'm supposed to come to work?

Now that's something worth protesting!

When ALL of the city streets have been plowed, come talk to us about shoveling our sidewalks off.

Protest don't work unless it is a republican. Jake is SJW who ran against HIMSELF. He walks around bashing Trump and shaking hands like he is Running for President. Jake litterly said he is thinking about the White House in a few years. I'm assuming he was joking but his click of crying snowflakes that he pays to hang around him believe it. All I know is chief Pizza party loves him.

Duncan even admits in the vid - Don't bother doing it now, it will just blow back.

It is in the 20's with 30-45mph winds so it feels like 7 outside right now.
Over night the wind chill will be in the negative

Tomorrow the wind chill will be below zero until 1 PM because there will be 25mph winds and it will be colder tomorrow than it was today.

When does this moron think it is safe to go out and shovel my walk so that I will be compliant???? This is so important he wants me out there shoveling in a ZERO degree windchill? Like that's not dangerous??

What is wrong with this guy? Glad he is looking out for me, I can't imagine what it would be like if he wasn't

And remember, don't get any of your snow in the street! Because if they don't get you for one thing they will get you for the other!

When I was in the Military, we called people like Jake a "PX Soldier". What that meant was that he bought rather than earn ANY medals/patches. Nothing changes.

This was the first vid where he rants about sidewalks - starting @5:40 and that fines will start at 3PM tomorrow.

Then Duncan interjects about shoveling snow in the streets - starting @ 7:03

I totally agree with 7:05 PM, when ALL city streets are cleared, then I'll think about doing something about a stupid sidewalk, however, everyone walks in the street anyway, so why worry about it.

Get them sidewalks cleared or move out of the City! I'll be out bright and early with my ticket book, so get to shoveling!

When salisbury’s roads are plowed down to the surface then he can have an opinion about sidewalks. If all city properties are plowed or shoveled then he can have an opinion! Until then with the conditions and he temps he needs to keep his Call of Duty playing a$$ shut!

My understanding is that the homeowner is responsible for the sidewalk that runs from their front door to the sidewalk that runs parallel to the street only. I own a property that had a sidewalk crumble next to the street and the city paid to replace it, not me. It took them 3 years to do it, but I was never even threatened with a fine or citation. So I think Jake might be misleading people regarding ownership of "sidewalks". Can anyone clarify?

Eh, it's the law, but my guess is they won't actually enforce it. Since we own our sidewalks - the city doesnt - I know i'll be clearing mine. Don't want to get sued by some lawsuit-happy liberal skipping down my street. I'm surethey're just trying to cover their butts.

Who gets fined, the tenant or the landlord/owner?

Right! Heard Culver and Hogan say today to stay in. I live in the City but fall in the County as well - vote Mayor, CE, and Gov. Sherriff supported with County monies says stay in but I'm told by Boy Mare to get out?
Why doesn't Culver put this adolescent in his place? What am I to do Mr Albero?

Weather forecast =
Lows tonight 7-10 degrees wind chills below 0.
Northwest winds 25-35 mph with higher gusts.
Blowing & Drifting Snow will continue.
Any slush that was made today will become a ice.

Wind Chill Advisory in effect for for the entire region.
Extremely Dangerous Wind Chills

But lets all go out and shovel because Jake says so.

8:10 you live on a dirt road off Deal Island Road, your road ain't worth clearing!

Is this what happens when you have a child running an adult office??? Fining people that do not get their sidewalks cleared at 3:00 tomorrow. Come on Jake, where did you leave your brain?? Tell me what happens when that person is trying to meet your childish timeline and the wind is drifting it back as fast as they can shovel it. Hope an elderly person is not trying to complete this task. Very dangerous.What an idiot you all have elected for Mayor. We live in the county and my husband went out today to try to get some of the piles away from our vehicles and the snow was drifting just as fast as he was shoveling. Then where the snow plows are trying to clear the roads at the front of everyones driveway is at least a four foot high frozen block of snow and ice they have left to be removed by the homeowner just to get on the frozen roads.

I could easily get my truck in and out yesterday until my road was plowed, but not anymore. there's a 4' tall glacier at the end of my driveway now. I don't know when i'll be able to get out. who do I sue?

Temperatures back up in the 50's next week, with rain forecast for Monday at least. All of this snow will be gone by the end of the week.

9:41 PM homeowner/landowner.
We got a warning once. It rained for 10 days straight and the idiot from code and compliance went around and gave everyone a warning for having grass in their sidewalk cracks.
She did this while it was still raining.
The warning/citation gets plastered on your front door and mailed to the homeowner.
The landlord called and laughed at the absurdity of it because we keep the place well maintained.

There are 12 homes on our block and 7 got the warning.
We were all quite mad because we had a neighbor that for 2 years was running and landfill in his back yard and they did nothing about it until we posted pictures on sbynews.

9:33 PM Cover their butts? How is it their butt on the line?

All he is doing is showing the extent of his immaturity and inexperience.
He thinks all his residents are under 35

Several of my neighbors are in their 70's and on fixed incomes so there isn't a lot of money to pay someone to do it. 2 Neighbors are disabled. Kids in the neighborhood wanted $30 to shovel 50 feet of sidewalk. They don't even volunteer to help their neighbors. Someone taught them that its all about money.

Jake obviously doesn't have the brain cells necessary to evaluate an extreme event and formulate a reasonable solution that doesn't place a large segment of his population at risk

Right now it is minus 2 outside and no one needs to be out there because Jake put an unreasonable timeline on shoveling snow

We live on North Saratoga and have yet to see a plow.

In one of the vids he was patting himself on the back about how they hit ever street.

Looks like he missed a few this time.

We need to get the sidewalks cleaned so that the drug dealers will have a safe place to do business.

Send the MAYOR medical bills for any falls or even heart issues due to his mandate in medically proven unsafe temps to shovel and clear sidewalks. It is almost impossible to find someone to shovel snow for residents like 30 years ago. I am 50 and as a kid, would knock on neighbors doors and shovel with them GLADLY paying me. We now live in a gamer/couch potato society where kids don't even go out in this.

I would put a sign in my yard close to the sidewalk with this notice. Will pay someone to clean my sidewalk. This would show intent. You may still get the fine, but if you are old (like me) plead your case to the city.

Have a walk down Main Street. How many of the businesses and Lawyer's office don't shovel their sidewalks. Do you EVER see them getting cited...

As long as no part of your sidewalk has been cleared, he won't be able to prove in court that you have one!

If the sidewalk is mine then I don’t want anyone walking on it. I will put up no trespassing signs and barriers preventing people from using it since it’s mine. And since the side walk belongs to me I would like the city to come remove their water meter. It interferes with the aesthetics of my sidewalk.

Totally confident the boy mare will be lighting up the internet with pictures of him out shoveling and being helpful. Pose with shovel and take pic. One shovelful. Repeat ad nauseam.

You don’t technically own your sidewalk, that’s the point. If they want to widen the road do you think they’ll ask your permission to move the sidewalk further onto your property? Heck, you don’t even technically own the land your house is built on. Look up legal land ownership and eminent domain.
So....I don’t own it, city can take it it they want it, then they can shovel it. Then bite me....not necessarily in that order.

He's probably thinking about"a white house" and not "the Whitehouse". Right? What a fargin joke!

Joe,

This relates more to the caption on the pic with this post than to concerns about clearing sidewalks. But...as I was looking at OC webcams to share with relatives guess what I found.

http://www.oceancity.com/help-keep-salisburys-national-folk-festival-free/

That's right. The 'bury was begging for tax deductible contributions to keep the Folked Festival 'free' and the implication is that without enough cash there will be charges of some sort.

So maybe Jake's major fines for uncleared sidewalks by 3 pm January 5 will be going into his...wait for it...slush fund for Folked Fest!

Well here is the problem. Another issue of government over regulation. The government is supposed to serve the people and is paid by our tax money. It's your business what you do on your own property period. The law is stupid. If you don't want to shovel your walk then you shouldn't be forced to do it by the government. It's your property. You pay taxes on it. The hell with them. I'd pile more snow on my sidewalk , let them ticket me, and I'd pay it all in pennies. Idiots. It's funny they can't get roads clear which leads to accidents which is our fault but they order us to clear our sidewalks.

Jake can take a those 12” of snow and ram it where the sun doesn’t shine. A lot of people here have had enough of his crap. If he wants to shoveled then he can shovel it himself.
