Here's the strangest part of all, look who's representing the Company backing out of the development, Practice Name: Webb, Burnett, Jackson, Cornbrooks, Wilber, Vorhis & Douse, LLP

There's going to be some pretty big stuff coming out of this one, since the Developers are already using TIF money and it's supposed to be used for the development of the property.

Will Delmarva Dealings Ever Return?

While GA Harrison has been busy gardening and working on his Honey-Do List at home, his Blog Site has suffered a stream of attacks, similar to what we went through before returning to Blogger.

I have spoken with GA and he assures me he will be returning. However, he'll also be returning to Blogger, rather than trying to manage his old site. Someone locally has been hacking into our Sites and my guess is one of two people/organizations. Nevertheless, they can slow us down but they cannot shut us down for good.

Also keep in mind, there are some 80,000 Blogs created each and every day around the World. What they don't tell you is, there's probably another 78,000 shutting down every day. Just think about it for a minute. MANY local Blogs have shut down but we tend to forget they were even out there. Considering your access is free and we spend quite a but of time bringing you information every single day, we deserve a break every so often and I know just how GA feels about having some time off. Enjoy it while you've got it GA and we look forward to your return.

Can You Hear Me Now?

For years now Mrs. Brenda Colegrove has been asking to update the recording equipment (which is quite outdated) used at all Council Meetings. Well, heck, it's used at all City related Meetings. It's carried from one location to the other and it's the old audio tape system. Meetings are regularly stopped in order to change the tape, you know the story.

Today's technology allows the equipment to go digital and quite frankly it's very inexpensive to replace. It's smaller and certainly less weight to boot. However, each year Brenda has put in this request, the Mayor comes back falling short of the actual cost and pretty much tying up those expenses for the year, knowing they won't get spent. I wonder just how many items are on the budget that fall into that category?

You know, make it sound good. Yes, we agree you need that equipment and we know it cost $2,000.00, so let's apply $1,200.00 towards it each year and tease Brenda into believing she's going to get it, yet there's not enough there to do so.

That being said, last week I personally sent two letters, one to Brenda Colegrove and the other to Louise Smith, offering to personally pay the difference between the money the City has allocated for this equipment and the actual cost of the equipment, maxing out at $2,000.00 out of my personal pocket. The equipment will help Bloggers to almost instantly gain easy access to copies and produce them within seconds as well as the more important issue, Brenda needs the proper equipment to better her job. Which story will you buy?

The proposal is in and it is expected to be announced and heard within the next City Council Meeting, should Louise Smith actually move forward with it? Accountability, right Louise? Have a nice day Barrie. :-)

Is There A FOB Event I'm Not Aware Of?

Someone installed this portable toilet this past weekend next to the Mayor's hopeful new City Hall on the Plaza. Doesn't it just look grand Folks? Isn't it also interesting how the City of Salisbury, (mainly Barrie Tilghman) is negotiating the purchase of another building and the Taxpayers know nothing about it? How long are you people going to take this crap. Just because Barrie wants a new location doesn't mean you jump the gun without the proper consensus, right? I mean, it's like being a Cop and going, BANG, FREEZE!

Barrie instructed The Daily Times months ago to start a propaganda piece by asking a Poll Question, should the City of Salisbury have their own City Hall Building. They then created a Hey You online portion asking the same question. This is how Barrie works. Now that The Daily Times has asked the question, (yet it miserably failed and flopped as no one really replied) Barrie feels she has permission to go out and spend what's NOT there.

Slow down Barrie and take a good hard look at Station 16. YOU know it's a great idea and could save the Taxpayers millions of dollars. You already own the property and renovating it would be a bunt. That would be the easiest thing to do in Baseball, (in case you're wondering).

It's time for a Press Conference on this matter to clear the air. The Taxpayers want to know what you're up to Barrie, so let them know. Or is EVERYTHING a cover up?

A Sigh Of Relief

It's certainly nice to see the majority of Fire Vehicles parked in their own parking lot rather than seeing them lined in in spaces over at Paul Wilber's Office. As they add on more and more Officers, soon enough they'll have just as many take home vehicles as the Salisbury Police Department. Then we can see them at Sam's Club and the Greene Turtle, Hooters and all over the City, protecting us, of course.

The GOB Is Still A Pane In The Glass

After a series of windows have already been replaced, more windows continue to crack on the GOB. Easy come, easy go.

Do You Know This Woman?

A father walks into a bookstore with his young son. The boy is holding a nickel. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face.The father realizes the boy has swallowed the nickel and starts panicking, shouting for help.

A well dressed, attractive and serious looking woman, in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the book store.

Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy’s testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand.

Releasing the boy’s testicles, the woman hands the nickel to the father and walks back to her seat in the coffee bar without saying a word.

As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, “I’ve never seen anybody do anything like that before; it was fantastic.

Are you a doctor?”

“No,” the woman replied. “Divorce attorney”.

THIS IS MY COUNTRY!

Let me make this perfectly clear!

THIS IS MY COUNTRY!

And, because I make this statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration!!!

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE IN MY COUNTRY.

Welcome to come through like everyone else has.
Get a sponsor!
Get a place to lay your head!
Get a job!
Live by OUR rules!
Pay YOUR taxes!

And

LEARN THE LANGUAGE LIKE ALL OTHER IMMIGRANTS HAVE IN THE PAST!!!
AND PLEASE DON'T DEMAND THAT WE HAND OVER OUR LIFETIME SAVINGS OF SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS TO YOU TO MAKE UP FOR ''YOUR'' LOSSES.

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

When will AMERICAN'S STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS???

We've gone so far the other way ... bent over backwards not to offend anyone. But it seems no one cares about the AMERICAN that's being offended!

WAKE UP America!!!

Someone Threatens My Life Again

John Robinson has a Blog Site in which the following information was recently added. The last comment is what brings it over the top. Proper Authorities have been contacted and Robinson should manage his site better. GO HERE to see the rest of the nasty comments. The fact that Robinson allowed such a comment and did NOT remove it makes me quite curious as to what HIS intent is? My guess is that he'll be getting a call very soon.

Salisbury's New City Hall?????

Not long ago I announced that I had inside information in which the Mayor was aggressively trying to purchase the Allfirst Bank on the Downtown Plaza. This was confirmed Saturday when Shanie Shields brought it up and the Mayor not only confirmed it, she publicly thanks John Pick for finding the property owners name out so they could contact them further on the property.

First of all, Idiot, they have a HUGE sign on the building with an 800# on it if you're interested in purchasing the building. Secondly, Dee, Dee, Deeee, these people do pay taxes on this property, so why the big deal about Mr. Pick working so diligently and being able to actually find the owner?

Nevertheless, this woman will stop at NOTHING to blow the City's money! For the record. The owner of this property paid $325,000.00 for the property. I have been trying to purchase this building for about a year now and I made two calls into the owner in which he wanted $750,000.00 for it and now all of a sudden it's up to $1,250,000.00! I WONDER WHY BARRIE? Now don't think I actually care because I too own a piece of property on that PLaza and if they sell it for that kind of money, mine will go up for sale too.

Nevertheless, Mr. Holland stated very quickly, the building is not big enough because City Government keeps growing. He's right. Then I mentioned Station 16. It took a few seconds but all of a sudden Shanie Shields turned her head, nodded up and down saying yes and said, good idea.

I don't know why they're missing it but they should finally do something the Citizens want. Keep the old Fire Station 16, renovate it and even add onto it if they must and move the City Hall there. Nah, Joe Albero suggested it and the stubborn Mayor being the Idiot that she is will never agree that I have good ideas. Hey Barrie, here's another good idea, let's see if you like it. Take a long walk off a short pier.

City Adds New Traffic Sign

WHAT THE HELL FOR?

The City added a new Stop Sign at Mill Street and Main Street at the end of the Downtown Plaza. Why, Lord only knows? There are now two stop signs there, neither of which "anyone" pays attention to.

The dumbest part is, where the hell are the Police, making sure people actually stop? I sat there for 3 hours on Saturday and not one vehicle obeyed the Stop Sign! Oh, and you can believe there are a ton of vehicles coming through each direction of this intersection.

IF there was ANY productive meaning towards this move, plant Officers there and start writing tickets. Do you not have anything better to do Barrie?

Did You Read Today's Daily Times?

County Executive Rick Pollitt wrote a Letter to the Editor today in which he mentions my offering to help his Family out when the wells went dry. Thank You Rick. As always, the Daily Times couldn't let the kind gesture stick in people's minds so they added their News Tracker to mention the lawsuits against me from the Mayor and Chief of Police.

You talk about a piece of sh*t newspaper. Will they ever grow up? If my Father In Law writes a Letter to the Editor they always tag on, Art Goetz is the Father of Jennifer Albero who is suing the City of Salisbury. Joe Albero is the Husband of Jennifer Albero who sued the City of Salisbury, as if no one knows who I am.

The Daily Times needs to grow up and stop playing their petty games. Then again, how about I start blasting them for all their mistakes?

The Asbury Church Project Is Finally Complete

You have to admit, it sure is beautiful. The professional work completed on this job is very evident within these pictures. Hopefully more people will now notice.

By the way, does anyone know why they did away with the Cross at the peak?

May I See Your Permit Please?

Signs like this are going up all over the City for Student Rentals, yet the City doesn't seem to be doing anything about it? These signs are ILLEGAL and it shouldn't take Citizens or Blogs to expose them for this illegal activity. These Slum Lords know what's legal and what's not, FINE THEM without warning. When someone let's their Parking Meter run out of time, you don't WARN them for breaking the law. YOU FINE THEM ON THE SPOT! Enough is enough with this FOB crap!

Today's Wildlife Photo

Before & After????

Two weeks ago I created a Post showing the building above in desperate condition in immediate need of being torn down. The Post created enough attention that the County Executive Rick Pollitt and Jim Finneran took it upon themselves to get something done about it right away. As you can clearly see from the second and third photo, the building is completely gone, (thanks to the Owner and the Real Estate Agent getting right on the ball) and I have to tell you, whomever did the work are true professionals. There's not a stick of debris left on that property, it's that clean!

Then we take a look at the 4th photo of this group. This is the home directly across the street from the Salisbury Police Department. This property is not only an eye sore, it too is dangerous and for years, (I do mean YEARS) this home continues to stand and the City can do nothing to have it torn down.

I remember exposing this property two years ago and honest to God, it's still standing. There's a huge difference between the City and the County. The County gets results.

A Message From Senator Andy Harris

Friends,


This week, our campaign announced the amount of money we have raised since July 1st. This was a great quarter in our campaign. People are willing to open their wallets to help our campaign because they realize we need a change in the first district. When people see my fiscally conservative record in the State Senate and then compare it Gilchrest's liberal fiscal record, such as voting for over $30 billion in new taxes this year; they are willing to invest in my campaign to bring fiscal responsibility to Washington.


For those of you curious how much we raised, let me give you a brief summary. We raised over $352,000 bringing our total raised this year to $526,000. We have $402,000 cash on hand. These fundraising numbers show we will have the money necessary to get our message out to the voters.


Unlike Gilchrest, our campaign cannot send out full-color mailers paid by taxpayers to people throughout the district, so we have to continue to raise money right up until the election.


I appreciate all of your support for my candidacy. The momentum is definitely building in our favor. Don't forget to visit www.andyharris08.com


Thanks,


Andy

Is Crime Up Or Down In Salisbury?

I'll be digging in deep on this subject as the FBI results are in. The last go around Chiefy tried denying we were the 11th Most Dangerous City In America, so there's no doubt there's a lot more to read into with the newest results. Allegedly rape is down in the City but UP in the Salisbury Police Department, eh? More to come......
