Wow! An IOU for a tax refund! Do you think we're next?
Check this out.

What are the chances that we're in line for the same treatment? What's this? The Federal Govt. giveth (stimulus checks) and the State taketh away? I've known people who have intentionally overpaid state and federal taxes so that they would have a phat refund due them at the end of the year and I've always said "why not put it in the bank where it would gain interest?" Why let the govt. use your money for free? I'll bet the people who have done that in California in the past will think twice before they do it again.

Kids Going To School Tomorrow? I Think NOT
"My children will not be attending school tomorrow. I feel we have made the right decision after days of mauling it over.
The decision came after speaking to a teacher "completely off the record" in the drug store after school Friday. After small talk, I said something along the lines of "have a nice long weekend" and added that my kids may not be there Tuesday either because I felt a little uncomfortable sending them and letting them watch the inauguration without family . . . just in case something was to happen.
She responded that she did not agree with the school holding the inauguration in the cafeteria for all to watch at the same time, and this school was the only school in Worcester County to do this. I asked why?, because of the principal's wishes to do this? She said no, because the school was primary black students. She sarcastically asked if the any schools had televised an inauguration before, which of course, I knew the answer was "no."
We agreed on the fact that parents should've been invited to watch with their children and not dis-invited. We also agreed that the schools are taking a huge risk by televising such a momentous occasion with a chance of it being very disastrous (someone could be crazy enough to take a shot at Obama, etc). After reliving the conversation that we had and hashing it over with my husband, we agreed that if my children were to watch, I'd rather it be with us.
It doesn't matter who we voted for, it's the fact that all day tomorrow, Obama is going to be shoved down my children's throat. . . and why? Because he's black? Because he's promised change? Or just because he's our next president? ... when all the other inaugurations were never televised at school.
I believe that the school (instead of sending home a note stating the 'optional' dress code for Tuesday) should have sent home a permission slip, asking if their child is allowed to watch this event."

Bush Commutes Agents' Sentences
WASHINGTON — President Bush on Monday commuted the sentences of two former border patrol agents who had been sentenced to more than a decade in prison for shooting and seriously wounding a Mexican drug dealer in Texas in 2005.
With a day left in his presidency, Mr. Bush exercised his constitutional power to grant clemency — for the last time, according to a senior White House official — in a case that has touched off fierce debate in the Southwest. The two former agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, had attracted considerable support among advocates of tougher border security, who argued that the agents were just doing their jobs.

John Cannon Says The County Council Meeting Is On For Tomorrow
"While tomorrow is a monumental event for history, it's business as usual for the County Council." Mr. Cannon went on to say that my call was the only call he had received concerning the County Council holding a meeting on the Presidential Inauguration Day.
Mr. Cannon went on to remind everyone that the meeting will be re-recorded on PAC 14, unlike the City Council's Work Session. He also mentioned that tomorrow is not a Special Council Meeting. It's not like we're having a meeting on the West Side Park or anything like that. He then said, IF there was something like that on the agenda he could clearly see every one's concern.
So the County Council Meeting will be on at 10:00 AM Tuesday morning.
This just came in.......
"Besides holding a meeting when a sizeable number of Wicomico County citizens want to watch the Inauguration, the County Council is saving the best for last – to be discussed in another closed session, scheduled to start at 1:15 – "Land Acquisition (West Metro Core Park and Youth and Civic Center)."
It seems that the cash strapped county is still trying to buy that land near Hebron for a park. The owner wanted $13,000 per acre, and the County has gotten it appraised, but apparently won’t disclose the estimated value to the public.
And the County Exec. still wants to also buy land on Glen Avenue opposite the Civic Center."
The Wicomico River And Downtown Revitalization Go Hand In Hand
Press Conference Not Adequately Covered By Daily Times
--Salisbury-- A press conference about filtration systems for stormwater drains and Ireton's plan, "The Wicomico River Project" found coverage in yesterday's edition of the Daily Times that was inadequate at best.
Ireton, who has a long history of working to improve Salisbury neighborhoods, stated: "What I want citizens to know is that, as Mayor, I will do everything in my power to live and lead a "Vision" for the Wicomico that does the following:
The Wicomico becomes the backbone of our efforts to revitalize downtown
The Wicomico is the catalyst for the continued revitalization of connected neighborhoods
The Wicomico becomes the touchstone of our renewed effort to re-claim the sense of "space" that has been lost in this community
The cleanup of the Wicomico spurs the sense of ownership by the city citizens and children
The Wicomico becomes the foundation of our own local effort in the green revolution
Mr. Ireton has been a strong supporter of the efforts to alleviate the frequent flooding of the neighborhoods of Monticello and North Pinehurst Avenues with the re-routing of storm water, but the remediation should not come at the expense of the entire Wicomico River watershed when simple and cost effective methods of filtration exist. Ireton had this to say early this morning:
"I've seen Camden flooding and have walked through much of that area, and know the history of why the flooding happened. I simply asked that we do something to filter the runoff from hundreds of acres in the Waverly and Newtown storm drains that dump into the Wicomico River. These kinds of decisions send a bad message to the community. The city, under Tilghman/Comegys, is the Wicomico's worst polluter, and has no moral grounds to tell anybody what they can do on the river, without first cleaning up their own messes. I have a plan to begin the cleanup of the Wicomico, no other candidate for mayor does."
Under Ireton's leadership, there will be no need to pit neighbors against neighbors--there is room to immediately alleviate the flooding problems within an environmentally responsible framework.

Daily Times covers Ireton Press Conference, Slants it for Comegys
While Jim Ireton's Saturday press conference was devoid of televised media coverage (WMDT & WBOC), it was covered by me and a reporter from the Daily Times. Today I decided to search for anything the Daily Times might have run.
The Article
The article starts off with a pretty clear and telling title "Mayoral candidate criticizes stormwater upgrade". OK, cool.
It goes on for about 160 words, including one quote which was only two words long, explaining some of the points Ireton made during the press conference (though the reporter didn't actually stick around for it).
Then comes the kicker: An abrupt shift in topic and tone as the author completely switches direction and sounds off for Gary Comegys complete with a much lengthier quote than the one attributed to Jim Ireton. So an article supposedly about Ireton turns out to merely be a setup to plug Comegys?
We all know the Daily Times has been a henchman for the Barrie/Gary crew, unfortunately. I guess they don't feel the people of Salisbury need or deserve equal, unbiased news coverage? With the media bias clearly slanted against Jim Ireton, we will have an uphill battle over the next several weeks but say it with me, "Help is on the way!"

HALO Ministry Needs Your Help
"Joe,
My wife and I went over yesterday afternoon and delivered two large trash bags of blankets and sheets to them yesterday. We basically emptied our attic and closets of suff we no longer use. Amazing what you have when your searching for it. Anyway, to answer a few of the questions posted on this thread. Yes they will take clothes, shoes etc. for kids and adults alike. As of yesterday the shelter for the women and kids had 38 guest that they are feeding and keeping warm. This doesn't include the shelter they house the men in. What people need to realize its not just "street people" but folks that are down on their luck that cant afford the basics of life for one reason or another. My wife and i are going to start taking over fresh baked goods for the kids. Its tough enough for them not to be able to stay in their own home, we're just trying to make it feel like home. The lady that I met, Ms. Savage, was a very sweet woman who was working her butt off scrubbing pots and pans when I got there. She did ask if I could mention one thing, She wwasn't even sure how to put it. HALO will be getting their first electric bill for the season. She said it would be a doozie because of the amount of heat, cooking , water runnig etc. Can we help as a community? It really does us all good when we forget about focusing on ourselves and help others that are FAR worse off then we are. What do you think Joe? Can you put out the Cry for help for them? The Bible says, when you've done unto the least of these, you've done it unto Me.

WHO CALLED A SALISBURY COUNCIL MEETING FOR TUESDAY MORNING?
It’s for real folks – some genius has scheduled a work session of the Salisbury City Council on very short notice for 9 AM to Noon on the United States Presidential Inauguration Day, January 20. The meeting will clearly conflict with the main events – the swearing-in ceremony (which starts at 11:30) and inaugural address and of course the earlier events on Tuesday morning. The major networks begin their coverage at 10 AM or earlier.
This is insulting to both those who would like to watch the inaugural proceedings and also to President Obama as well.
Louise Smith should exercise real leadership for a change and cancel the work session.
But, don’t hold your breath.

Time For A Little Plumbing Help
"Joe,
I grew up in Salisbury and now live in Florida, but my mom still lives in Salisbury. She had something really bad happen to the pipes in our house (I would go into detail but I don’t understand it, so I’ll leave it at that) and she needs to contact a plumbing service to fix things. She can’t use the water at all (toilet, shower, anything) until it’s fixed. I read your blog quite frequently so I can stay “in the know” with Salisbury, and I was wondering if you could recommend a good, reputable plumbing service for my mother. She has never had to use one (at least in the past decade) so she doesn’t know where to start. I figure that since you seem to know the good and the bad of what’s going on in town, you might happen to know a company she can trust."
Here's your opportunity to put a plug out there for FREE for your company. However, I'd prefer personal experiences and why the company you recommend is the best. Thanks Everyone, Joe

Muir Boda, The Next Louise Smith!
Here's your very next Louise Smith Folks! At the last City Council Meeting Muir Boda was seen huddling up with Gary Comegys, Shanie Shields and Louise Smith. There is absolutely NO QUESTION he is ONE of the Mayor's Picks to replace Debbie Campbell on the City Council. He has aligned himself with the Anti Albero Bloggers who personally attack my Wife, our Grandson and our Family. Mr. Boda claims to be a Church going man, yet he is connected with those very same people putting up Church Signs against me personally. I provided photos of such a week or so ago.
The following two paragraphs are quotes directly from Muir Boda to me in a letter he sent to me.
"I do not have anything against Debbie, I think she has been an excellent representative on the City Council. I am, as you and many of the citizens of Salisbury are, disgusted with the way our city has been run into the ground. Honestly, if Terry, Debbie, and I were on the council together we would be the majority."
"I will not support Gary Comegys for mayor for a whole host of reasons. I will not support Barrie Tilghman if she runs for re-election, which I doubt she is if Gary is running. I still hold much resentment for the way Colonel Dykes was treated before and after his death by her and the people she put in place. Also, I am not a Louise Smith patsy or crony."
Again, Muir said, "Honestly, if Terry, Debbie, and I were on the council together we would be the majority." The funny part is, the Idiot is running for Debbie's seat, Dee, Dee, Deeee! He has aligned himself with the very people he claims ran the City into the ground.
Muir Boda, YOU'VE BEEN BLOGGED! Let me guess, the Daily Times will now endorse Muir Boda over Debbie Campbell. What a shocker! I'm sure they'll announce it in about two weeks.

CHANGING OF THE GUARD
Hail King Obama: President for life
Move underway to repeal Constitution's term limits
As Inauguration Day approaches and Barack Obama prepares to assume his first term as president, some in Congress are hoping to make it possible for the Democrat to not only seek a second term in office, but a third and fourth as well.
The U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary is considering a bill that would repeal the Constitution's 22nd Amendment prohibiting a president from being elected to more than two terms in office.
Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., earlier this month introduced the bill, H. J. Res. 5, which, according to the bill's language, proposes "an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President."

Lower Shore schools take advantage of inauguration's learning opportunities
January 19, 2009
Buzz up! Many schools on the Lower Shore have planned special instructional activities for students so they can participate in the historic Presidential Inauguration on Tuesday.
Wicomico County Superintendent John Fredericksen said some parents have requested school be canceled that day so their children could see the event in person. But school officials said they have better idea.
"We determined that the best seats in the house are right here in school," Fredericksen said.
"some parents have requested school be canceled that day" is what the Superintendent missed. Some people have selective hearing. Hey, I know, maybe it's me? Maybe I'm the one with selective hearing, right? I mean, we've only had about a thousand comments referencing this subject, hence the Daily Times doing yet another follow up article from yesterday. This is just too comical.

Note To Mr. Pick:
John, That pesky Joe Albero came into town this weekend and took some more pictures. Can you get someone, ANYONE from Public Works to fix this D*&n sidewalk before the Daily Times picks up on one of the old Salisbury News articles!
Reply:
Mayor, you told me in the past you didn't give a d&*n about Albero and you said to leave it just as it sits. As usual, I would expect the Daily Times to be calling about this as they now follow Salisbury News and they'll certainly be on top of this one since Albero has so many readers now. We're going to have to give up bottled water for two months if we get on this right away. The choice is up to you. I don't want to hear it when you don't have bottled water and you're subjected to drinking the City's tap water. Are you sure about this? I truly don't have time to add another project to my list. I'm already buried cchecking every one's phone records to see who's calling Albero in the first place.
