Remember What I Said The Other Day About Manufacturing News?

Neighbors: Turn Bricks into affordable housing

The Daily Times went out and found a couple of people giving them the headline, "Neighbors: Turn Bricks into affordable housing". While people are complaining about a Skate Park and the expense it will cost the taxpayers, SINCE WHEN is it or should it be for local municipalities to not only pay for affordable housing but OWN it as well and be the slumlord?


The Daily Times continues to push very selective agendas especially for Mayor Jim Ireton. We keep hearing about the Council of no's. Do you really wonder why the Council says no to certain projects. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for units that will only bring in $300.00 a month in rent is just plain stupid. Thank God we have a Council majority who are liberals, (at that) yet fiscally responsible.


The Daily Times continues to manufacture news that is not news. The Bricks is a DEAD issue. As a candidate for Mayor I say, GOOD, it should be. We have far more problems and issues than to continue to only concentrate on issues this Mayor wants to use against certain Council Members as well as me as a Candidate.


So here it is Mayor Ireton. I say, scrub that project and as the next Mayor I'd dump that property so fast it isn't funny. SELL IT, GET RID OF IT. I'm more interested in repaving roads that desperately need it then I am in this project.


According to the Daily Times the Mayor stated in this article, "He said he doesn't want to do anything with The Bricks until he knows whether Homes for America will sue to recover the $108,000 in expenses it says it paid to other parties and incurred itself.


He then goes on to say, "In addition, Ireton may postpone any action until after next spring's elections in the hope of a more favorable council coming into power, he said."


Once again, LOOK at what the Mayor said. It is yet ANOTHER plug to get rid of Debbie Campbell and hurt her in the upcoming election. In other words, IF you vote for someone else there's a good chance we'll get this project through.


Folks, let this backfire on Jim Ireton. A vote for me and a vote for Debbie Campbell will assure these ridiculous projects come to an immediate end. NO MORE WWTP projects. NO MORE $14,000,000.00 Fire Departments. NO MORE Subsidized Housing units Downtown. NO MORE TIF's. NO MORE Developer reimbursements, NO MORE Bricks, Linnens of the week and the list goes on and on.


Salisbury is a business and for once it needs to be run like one. Salisbury is NOT about making friends in all the right places for the benefit of a few. We have roads to pave. Businesses to attract. Crime to be much lower. We have a LOT of old work that hasn't been touched in a decade or more.


Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't make Salisbury a pretty place to live and work. We need jobs! We need a Mayor who doesn't send out a Press Release stating HE revitalized Feldman's. We need a Mayor who will recognize Gillis/Gilkerson for taking on such an incredible eye sore. We need a Mayor that will thank ANY person/business that purchases property and keeps it on the tax roll instead of thanking SU or PRMC for buying properties that ultimately come OFF the tax roll.


In reality, Salisbury needs a new Mayor and Salisbury needs an honest newspaper.

David Cephas, Former MPD Officer, Pleads Guilty In Photo Radar Fraud Case

A 22-year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department has pleaded guilty to falsifying logs that tracked photo radar fines in the District of Columbia.

Prosecutors say that between 2008 and 2009, David Cephas, a former officer with the agency, falsified deployment logs that certified deployment times for equipment used as a part of MPD's speed camera program.

Officers on photo-radar duty are paid overtime to monitor the equipment, which they must test fire hourly to make sure it’s calibrated properly.

Last night, radio host Mark Levin posed the question: “How does Obama support women in Colorado?”

Discussing President Obama’s campaign stop in Colorado to win over female support, Levin said that President Obama’s failed domestic policies also have a negative impact on women- not just men:

“[President] Obama’s in Colorado telling women in Colorado that he supports them. How does Obama support women in Colorado? With free contraceptives?

White House Wants Lawsuit Dropped

The White House is asking a district court to dismiss a lawsuit by a homeless advocacy organization over the disclosure of information about unused federal buildings. The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty is suing the Office of Management and Budget to get the agency to release more documentation about surplus federal properties, including some that may not have been reported. The Washington Post reports OMB submitted a motion to the district court in Washington rejecting the lawsuit's claims, saying no documents have been improperly withheld and Acting OMB Director Jeff Zients is the improper defendant.

Doctors Remove Spider Hiding In Woman’s Ear Canal

A woman who went to China's Changsha Central Hospital complaining of itching in the left side of her head was told by doctors that the source of irritation was a spider that had been living inside her ear canal for five days.

Doctors reportedly used a saline solution to flush out the spider in order to avoid having the spider burrow deeper inside the canal or bite her.

The flushing technique was successful and the woman reportedly wept with gratitude after being told the spider was removed. Doctors say they believe the spider entered the woman's home while the home was undergoing renovations, and crawled into her ear while she was sleeping.

Livestock Farmers Still Seeking Pause In Ethanol Production

Livestock farmers and ranchers seeing their feed costs rise because of the worst drought in a quarter-century are demanding that the Environmental Protection Agency waive production requirements for corn-based ethanol.

The Obama administration sees no need for a waiver, siding with corn growers — many of them in presidential election battleground states Iowa and Ohio — who continue to support the mandate.

"If not now, when?" Randy Spronk, a Minnesota pork farmer, said of the EPA's authority to defer the ethanol production requirement when it threatens to severely harm the economy of a state or region. "Everyone should feel the pain of rationing."

ROUND‘DEUX’

The countdown to Dew Tour action is on as workers this week began building a vertical ramp, Mega 2.0 ramp, skateboard bowl and a BMX park, along with the rest of the venue that will contain the “Dew Tour Experience” booths, activities and concert stage. The Pantech Beach Championships action, scheduled for Aug. 16-19, will unfold on the beach, adjacent to the Boardwalk, just north of the pier in downtown Ocean City.

“What they’re doing is no easy task. A lot of work goes into putting it all together,” said Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan. “If you take a picture on the first day [of construction] and the last day, it’s quite an accomplishment erecting everything on the beach.”

NUGENT: O’Reilly Spinning In The ‘No Spin Zone’

When it comes to guns, there is plenty of spin in Bill O’Reilly’s “No Spin Zone.” The zone has been infected with a bad case of yellow journalism.

Mr. O’Reilly is either woefully ignorant of the most basic of firearm laws, nomenclature, rules and requirements, or he has a clear anti-gun agenda and is a willing puppet for those who want to end the Second Amendment.

Mr. O’Reilly recently stated on his TV program, “The O'Reilly Factor,” that anyone in America can go out and buy a machine gun or bazooka without any reporting requirements at all.

Joe --

When Michael Jordan wrote a check to my campaign for U.S. Senate in 2004, I wasn't sure whether I should cash it or frame it.

Now Michael Jordan is taking his support to the next level. If you chip in $3 or whatever you can today, you'll be automatically entered for a chance to meet both of us at an event later this month in New York City.

You're invited to bring a guest -- so if basketball isn't your game, I encourage you to bring someone in your life who might enjoy meeting Michael and me over dinner, and maybe even shooting some hoops with some of the other basketball stars, past and present.

Now, I don't know if I'll want to sprint up and down the court that night, but I'm always up to launch a few jump shots. If you join me, don't be surprised if I challenge you or your guest to play.

Tonight is the deadline to throw your name in -- and, today only, every entry counts for two. Make a donation, and you'll be automatically entered:

Thanks,

Barack

Dear Barack,

Will you be serving beer? If so, I'd like to know what kind before I even consider.

Could George Zimmerman Get the Case Against Him Thrown Out?

George Zimmerman will seek to have second-degree murder charges dismissed under Florida’s “stand your ground” law in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, his attorney said Thursday.

The hearing, which likely won’t take place for several months, will amount to a mini-trial involving much of the evidence collected by prosecutors as well as expert testimony from both sides.

“Most of the arguments, witnesses, experts and evidence that the defense would muster in a criminal trial will be presented in the ‘stand your ground’ hearing,” said the statement posted by Zimmerman attorney Mark O‘Mara on Zimmerman’s official defense website.

York: When 1,099 Felons Vote In Race Won By 312 Ballots

In the eyes of the Obama administration, most Democratic lawmakers, and left-leaning editorial pages across the country, voter fraud is a problem that doesn't exist. Allegations of fraud, they say, are little more than pretexts conjured up by Republicans to justify voter ID laws designed to suppress Democratic turnout.

That argument becomes much harder to make after reading a discussion of the 2008 Minnesota Senate race in "Who's Counting?", a new book by conservative journalist John Fund and former Bush Justice Department official Hans von Spakovsky. Although the authors cover the whole range of voter fraud issues, their chapter on Minnesota is enough to convince any skeptic that there are times when voter fraud not only exists but can be critical to the outcome of a critical race.

In the '08 campaign, Republican Sen. Norm Coleman was running for re-election against Democrat Al Franken. It was impossibly close; on the morning after the election, after 2.9 million people had voted, Coleman led Franken by 725 votes.

Philadelphia Man Arrested After Assaulting Trooper, Dover

Location: 2000 block of Chestnut Grove Road, Dover, DE

Date of Occurrence: Thursday August 9, 2012 at approximately 9:40 a.m.

Victims:

47 year old male victim
25 year old female trooper assigned to Troop 3 in Dover

Defendant, Charges, and Bond Information:

Hughie Cooper, 31, Philadelphia, PA (Photo Attached)
Assault 2nd on a Law Enforcement Officer (Felony)
Resisting Arrest (Felony)
Criminal Trespass 3rd (Misdemeanor)

Arraigned at JP2 and committed to James T. Vaughn Correctional Center on $10,500.00 cash bail.

Resume:
Dover, DE- The Delaware State Police have arrested a Philadelphia man after he assaulted a trooper in an attempt to flee from custody.

Troopers were called to the 2000 block of Chestnut Grove Road around 9:40 a.m. Thursday after a 47 year old victim reported a suspicious subject on his property. The victim told the suspect, who was later identified at Hughie Cooper, to leave his property and Cooper did. A description of Cooper was given to the 9-1-1 Emergency Communications Center and was broadcast to responding troopers.

As a female trooper was traveling on Kenton Road in the area of Chestnut Grove Road, she observed an individual that matched the description given by dispatchers. Once Cooper saw the patrol car, he immediately started running towards the area of Maple Dale Golf Course. The female trooper exited her vehicle and initiated a foot pursuit with Cooper, giving several commands for him to stop. The chase continued into a wooded area where the trooper observed the suspect lying on his back with his hands balled up underneath a shirt across his chest. As she gave numerous commands for him to show his hands, he failed to comply which resulted in her deploying her departmentally issued Taser, briefly subduing the suspect. A struggle ensued between the two and in the process, Cooper was able to take control of the Taser and turn it onto the trooper causing her to receive a slight electric charge but not incapacitating. The trooper was able to quickly break free from altercation and restrain Cooper, placing her handcuffs on him.

Cooper was then transported back to Troop 3 and arrested for the above listed charges. He was arraigned at JP2 and committed to JTVCC in Smyrna on $10,500.00 cash bail. Cooper was initially transported to Kent General Hospital where he was seen for an unspecified injury before being turned over to Department of Corrections.

The trooper was taken to Kent General Hospital where she was treated for an unspecified injury she sustained in the altercation with Cooper. She was later released.

Meet the Real Workers Obama Screwed Over

Chutzpah overload in full effect: President Obama’s sleazy super-PAC, run by his former White House spokesman Bill Burton, just released an ad accusing GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney of causing the cancer death of a steelworker’s wife.

It’s not just a slanderous and false attack. It’s a foolish attempt to camouflage the administration’s massive jobs death toll, politicized pension plundering and Big Labor bailout cronyism. And it will backfire big time because the thousands and thousands of true victims of Obama’s economic wreckage are speaking up and fighting back.

Let’s dispense with the “Romney = murderer” meme first. The warped Priorities USA ad features the claims of one Joe Soptic, a former employee at the Kansas City-based GST Steel plant. The plant went bankrupt years after Bain Capital acquired it. Soptic blames Romney for the loss of his job and health insurance — and for the subsequent death of his wife a “short time after” the plant’s closure.

California School District Will Spend $1 Billion to Borrow $100 Million

It’s being called a loan not even a subprime lender would make.

A school district north of San Diego, Poway Unified, borrowed $105 million over 40 years by selling a bond so unusual that the State of Michigan outlawed it years ago. Taxpayers in the area will end up with a nearly $1 billion bill at the end of this deal.

The Poway school district is not the only one — three other California school districts in San Diego are set to gouge taxpayers in similar fashion. The San Diego Unified School district borrowed $164 million up front, but will owe a whopping $1.3 billion at the end of its long-term bond. Oceanside Unified sold a $30 million bond, but will owe nearly ten times as much decades later, $280 million total. And Escondido Union School District likewise borrowed $27 million and will owe $247 million total. (Will Carless and Joel Thurtell at the
Voice of San Diego, a local blogger, has been tracking these bond developments.)
