MAYOR IRETON: NOW HEAR THIS
Belton, Missouri declines to enter All-America City contest this year
By Allen Edmonds, The Star Herald
Despite its status as a finalist in the quest for All America City status last spring, Belton will sit out this year's competition due to the economy.
After parting ways with four employees last month and seeing Mayor’s Christmas Tree contributions plummet by some $1,500, Mayor Jimmy Odom said Monday he believes that spending money and resources on such an effort this year might send the wrong message.
"All our intentions were to apply again this year," Odom said, especially after it was announced that the competition would move from Florida to Kansas City for the next several years.
"But I asked for the city and the Vision Team to take a look at this again," in light of the worsening economic conditions.
"We just felt like it would send the wrong message to the employees that we’re asking to cut back on everything possible," and to citizens that may have lost jobs or had incomes reduced in recent months.
He said that even though the competition is being held in Kansas City, there are significant expenses involved in submitting the award application, as well as developing the presentation materials that would be used onstage at the competition.

Jim Rutledge Trusts Michael Steele
Jim Rutledge responds to unfortunate incidents at Republican National Committee. Jim Rutledge trusts Michael Steele to provide the necessary leadership to restore confidence.
FORREST Hill, Maryland- U.S. Senate Candidate Jim Rutledge is concerned about the unfortunate events that have confronted Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. These incidents have cast a shadow over the Republican National Committee. Jim Rutledge said, “The controversies have hurt the image of the Republican National Committee, but I believe Chairman Steele is addressing them in an appropriate manner.”
The Republican National Committee must work quickly to make whatever changes are necessary to restore confidence in the Republican Party. Strong leadership means having the ability to achieve success in a manner that is conducive to Republican Party beliefs. The unpopular liberal agenda that Barbara Mikulski and Congress are carrying out has presented an opportunity for the Republican Party to stand up and lead America in a new direction. Jim Rutledge believes the Republican Party must put forth the best conservative leadership and ideas available to provide America a strong alternative to what Washington is now offering.
Regarding the leadership of the National Republican Committee Jim Rutledge said, “Many people are asking me about what happened, and I don’t know all the facts. I do know that all this has been a distraction, and I trust Michael Steele will do the right thing.” Michael Steele is already making changes and implementing internal controls to prevent future incidents. Jim Rutledge is confident that Michael Steele and the 168 members of the Republican National Committee will act accordingly to do what is in the best interest of the Republican Party. Jim Rutledge believes the time has come to restore Ronald Reagan’s conservative values to the Republican Party and America. “Obviously mistakes were made, and Chairman Steele is working hard to correct them and put to rest any misgivings people may have about his leadership and or the Republican National Committee,” said Rutledge.

Obama Tries To Change Terrorism Rhetoric
National security document revisions are 'new beginning' with Muslim world
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's advisers plan to remove terms such as "Islamic radicalism" from a document outlining national security strategy and will use the new version to emphasize that the U.S. does not view Muslim nations through the lens of terrorism, counterterrorism officials say.
The change would be a significant shift in the National Security Strategy, a document that previously outlined the Bush Doctrine of preventive war. It currently states, "The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century."
The officials described the changes on condition of anonymity because the document is still being written and is unlikely to be released for weeks, and the White House would not discuss it. But rewriting the strategy document is the latest example of Obama putting his stamp on U.S. foreign policy, as with his promises to dismantle nuclear weapons and limit the situations in which they can be used.

Here We Go Again
Joe,
I’m so sick to hear that the unemployment rate is still over 10% and all I can see is non-citizens having a job. I took this after leaving my apartment at my lunch break where the people cutting the grass were non-citizens as well. What is wrong with the USA? Any idiot can figure it out. BTW this is at the corner of MD Route 50 and Civic Avenue.
One Council Meeting A Quarter
Tuesday night was a full agenda. There were three issues discussed which were near and dear to my heart:'
- The proposal for a new county library on Beaglin Park Drive
- Council holding AT LEAST one meeting per month at night
- An elected school board
Is The Salisbury Government Getting Even Closer To Relocating To The Current Downtown Library?
At last nights County Council Meeting I was shocked to no end when I confronted the Council in Public Comments and asked, "Has the City of Salisbury paid the $1.00 and signed the contract to finally own 1/2 of the Government Office Building?" Their answer flat out blew me away. Ed Baker replied stating they were about two weeks away from the contract finally being signed. WOW!
If you'll recall, two or three years ago I confronted the Mayor on PAC 14 asking that very same question, had they ever signed the contract to purchase 1/2 of that building. The very next day John Pick raced over to the County Executive with a check for $1.00 but the Mayor never signed the agreement/contract.
While I was in shock last night with their answer, more questions and answers quickly came into play in my mind. Now why would the City all of a sudden, (out of nowhere) finally agree to purchase 1/2 of a building Gary Comegys stated years earlier wasn't worth it because the building was getting old. HELLO!
The reason the City of Salisbury is desperate to own 1/2 of the building is simple, EQUITY! If the City participates in ownership and the County owns the current Library, the County could ask the City to work a deal whereas they'd quickly be willing to DONATE the Library, (once a new one is built) to the City and a swap deal could be made to get the City of Salisbury government out of the current GOB and into their own facility.
The County desperately needs more space and quite frankly Folks, this is a no brainer. However, are you reading this anywhere else? Is anyone taking the time to read between the lines other than Salisbury News? NO!
Relocating the Library anywhere outside the Downtown area would be a disaster to the future of Downtown Salisbury. Palmer Gillis made an unbelievable speech last night, (I highly recommend you watch the rerun on PAC 14 because what he stated was absolutely on the mark). Even I wasn't aware that the Library Board only gave Mayor Ireton 24 hours to come up with a Downtown location or they would seek property in areas outside Downtown.
The scam that's being pulled by this Board is just unbelievable. They're trying to sell everyone on a new location that would cost $300.00 a square foot, yet if you do the math their proposal is actually more than $500.00 a square foot.
Do NOT be fooled like you were the last time with the new Fire Station 16 Folks. The Library deal is complete BS. Even John Cannon stated last night, Tom, do you actually believe the Citizens of Wicomico County would support a $30,000,000.00 project? Tom replied, I believe we can gain their support.
Well Folks, what do YOU think. Are you prepared to spend $30,000,000.00 on a new Library, about 1/4 of the County's overall debt? You know those pot holes all over the roads after this past winter the County cannot afford to properly repair, do you really want a new Library when the old one is perfectly fine. If you work for the County, do you really want to keep your jobs? Adding $30 million more debt into the County, well, your jobs will be cut first. Services within the County will drop dramatically, all because of wants, not needs.
Well, County and City Officials don't want you to understand the OVERALL picture here. The County wants the City out of the GOB. The ONLY way they're going to make that happen is if they build a new Library.
GM Posts $4.3 Billion Loss In 2009's Second Half
Automaker says it still sees a chance of achieving profitability in 2010
DETROIT - General Motors Co. says it lost $4.3 billion in the last half of 2009 as it struggled to emerge from bankruptcy protection, repay government loans and cope with a severe downturn in U.S. sales.
However, the automaker says it still sees a chance of being profitable in 2010.
GM's results aren't comparable to prior years. They only measure the period from July 10, when GM emerged from bankruptcy protection after shedding billions in debt, through Dec. 31. GM said it earned $109 million in the period from Jan. 1 to July 9, under old accounting.

Shutting Another Door To Opportunity
THIS ADMINISTRATION IS TRULY PATHETIC! As a legislator, as the chairman of a national think tank and currently as chairman of a Maryland business policy organization, my offices have welcomed interns and observed the value of internships. Theys provide a valuable opportunity to learn basic work skills, to determine if the intern likes working in the field, and to get a foot in the door for future employment opportunities. Apparently the Obama folks would prefer that American youth join Americorps and experience only the wonders of “public service”. This is outrageous.

EDITORIAL: Obama eyes interns
Democrats move to deny useful job training to young workers
·
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The Obama administration's top law enforcement officer at the Labor Department, M. Patricia Smith, is targeting companies that give young people unpaid internships. She claims that internships are rife with abusive practices and that serious violations of labor law are widespread. Arguing that interns should get paid at least minimum wage, Ms. Smith and the White House risk destroying a valuable steppingstone that gives many young Americans training they need to get jobs they want in the future.
Unpaid internships are valuable for many reasons. Most simply, they help people test whether they are a good fit for a particular industry. If interns like the type of work at particular companies, internships can help them get the training and contacts they need to make their career aspirations a reality. The short time that interns spend at jobs - often just two to three months - makes it difficult for firms to both train these young people and get much work out of them. From manufacturing to nonprofits to media companies such as The Washington Times, hands-on opportunities open through internships are almost endless.
Basic economics teaches that if the price is raised, demand falls. If companies have to pay wages, they will take on fewer interns. If these youngsters were actually benefiting companies more than it costs to train them, companies would pay them. Profit-seeking companies compete against each other for employees. If untrained students were such valuable workers, firms would gladly offer money to beat out the competitor next door to get them.
Some statements by the administration suggest that their actions are not simply motivated by the welfare of the kids who get internships. The O Force worries that unpaid internships might disadvantage less-affluent students, who might not be able to afford to spend their summers at unpaid jobs. But the administration's solution risks eliminating many internships at for-profit companies so that no one gets them.
The Obama administration, which is full of rhetoric about improving education, actually views education extremely narrowly. In the real world, people gain a lot of practical knowledge on the job. Eliminating training opportunities will only mean worse careers and lower future earnings for those President Obama's team is claiming to protect.

Iran: Obama ‘Can’t Do A Damn Thing’
Ahmadinejad mocks new U.S. nuclear strategy
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's hard-line president on Wednesday ridiculed President Barack Obama's new nuclear strategy, which turns the U.S. focus away from the Cold War threats and instead aims to stop the spread of atomic weapons to rogue states or terrorists.
Obama on Tuesday announced the new strategy, including a vow not to use nuclear weapons against countries that do not have them. Iran, however, was a notable exception to that pledge, along with North Korea, because Washington accuses them of not cooperating with the international community on nonproliferation standards.
Concerns over Iran's nuclear program figure prominently in the new U.S. strategy. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the focus would now be on terror groups such as al-Qaida as well as North Korea's nuclear buildup and Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Overtaxed Homeowners Start To Fight Back
Millions paying property taxes based on value of home before bubble burst
Now that the housing bubble has burst, up to 60 percent of the nation's taxable property may be overassessed, meaning owners are paying thousands of dollars more in taxes than they need to, experts say.
That is leading to a flood of appeals in many markets from homeowners eager to cut their taxes and speed the process of aligning tax valuations with reality.
While home prices have fallen by 30 percent on average since their 2007 peak, according to the Case-Shiller Home Price Index, many counties only reassess every three to five years and have little incentive to move faster considering how important property taxes are to funding local government operations.

A READY RESERVE CORPS.
How many Americans are going to become part of Obama’s “corps”. Do you find this trend worrisome?
On July 20, 2008, during his Presidential campaign, Senator Obama 2008 stated, “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." (emphasis added)
The immediate question should have been “who is this protecting --and from whom?” But this astonishing proposal received almost no attention from the media.
Also getting very little attention are the three pages of the Health Care Bill creating a Ready Reserve Corps for service in time of national emergency. The executive branch is authorized to expand the Commisioned Corps beyond the previous limit of 2800 individuals. The words "not to exceed 2800" are struck from the law and it establishes a "Ready Reserve Corps" without a cap on numbers or funding! The Commisioned and Ready Reserve Corps can be called to involuntary service in time of "national emergency". The language in the bill is below.
Then there is the huge expansion of Americorps last year. At the time, Senator DeMint said the proposed expansion of AmeriCorps would make its parent, the Corporation for National and Community Service, the 14th-largest company in the world, in terms of number of employees.
According to an article in the San Francisco Examiner, that bill intends to “combine the best practices of civilian service with the best aspects of military service,” while establishing “campuses” that serve as “operational headquarters,” complete with “superintendents” and “uniforms” for all participants. It allows for the elimination of all age restrictions in order to involve Americans at all stages of life. And, it calls for the creation of “a permanent cadre” in a “National Community Civilian Corps.”
Is it off base to be worrying about the opportunity for indoctrination that all of this permits?

We Need Your Help Finding This Pug
Hey Joe,
Someone came in to the Tourism Center with a dog, which was found wandering in the park behind the center. It had no collar or tags, but pugs are not ones to be roaming the streets. He took the dog, saying that his mother was a vet, and he’d take care of the dog. The owner realized the dog was missing half way to Virginia Beach and wants the dog back. The man who found the dog left no phone number or name, so we have no way of knowing who he is.
The dog was a fawn female pug. Please call 410-548-4914 with any information.
Thanks Joe!
