SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie pledged $15 million in state aid Saturday for businesses damaged by a massive boardwalk fire in a shore community just getting back on its feet after Superstorm Sandy.

Christie met privately with 30 of the more than 50 business owners who suffered losses in Thursday's fire in Seaside Park and Seaside Heights, promising an aggressive response to haul away rubble from the fire and help them rebuild again.

WATCH A 13-YEAR-OLD COUNTRY SINGER BRING EVEN SIMON COWELL TO HIS FEET

Rion Paige may have a different way of spelling her name, but it’s probably one you should get used to. That’s because the spunky 13-year-old country singer brought the “X Factor” judges to their feet Wednesday with her rendition of a Carrie Underwood song.

Besides a solid voice and a special name, Paige is unique for another reason: She has a rare disease that has left her wrist joints deformed and she’s almost completely blind in her right eye. But you’d never know it from her attitude.

PRMC Layoff Announcement

Let's see who gets it closest. Sources have stated there will be yet another big layoff at PRMC tomorrow. While employees have been begging to stop leaving them hanging and let them know if they do or don't have a job, many will get a pink slip tomorrow. What time do YOU think it will happen and how many people do you think will get laid off?

We Can See Clearly Now, GOTCHA!

While our original Post went viral, law enforcement realized very quickly just how well read Salisbury News is and put on their aprons in an attempt to clean off the spray paint on the speed cameras. 

In typical form, they then went to OTHER news sources and asked the public to help them solve this crime. Come on Sheriff, get a sense of humor. It seems perfectly OK for criminals to TAG my building in Downtown Salisbury and NO ONE was ever caught. 

Take it on the chin for once and hey, I've got an idea, perhaps LISTEN to what people are saying in comments. THEY DON'T WANT THE CAMERAS, PERIOD. 

American Citizens Are Fighting Back Against Speed Cameras

Once again we have evidence of yet another speed camera tagging, this time in Fruitland, Maryland on St. Luke's Road. 

Several years ago Salisbury News lead the way in exposing all of the tagging that was going on around the City of Salisbury. Back then the local media refused to give any kind of real coverage. 

Interesting how when the tables are turned and rather than the TAXPAYERS properties, (most of which cannot vote) this time it's happening to government property, (so to speak). The Police are reaching out to the public to help solve these crimes, yet the dozens of other taggings that have been going on for years have never been solved. 

Could this be the beginning of an Eastern Shore mini revolution? After all, even some public officials have stated, Take Your Eastern Shore Back.

Carla Moore Terminated From The Town Of Pittsville

After only 15 months, Carla Moore was terminated from her position with the Town of Pittsville Tuesday. While this is a touchy subject, let's just say they're investigating the matter at hand. Believe me, there's more to come... That is, unless comments handle the rest of the story, for those in the know.

GOP Bill Would Ban Using Food Stamp Funds On Junk Food

Newly proposed legislation in Congress would ban recipients of food stamps from buying junk food.

The Hill reports that a bill proposed by Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., would require food stamp recipients to purchase only healthy food.

The Healthy Food Choices Act, H.R. 3073 is the latest salvo from Republican members of Congress who have criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps or the Women, Infants and Children program (WIC).

In August, it was reported that House Republicans hoped to cut some $40 billon from future SNAP budgets.

Roe's legislation is specifically in response to a 2012 study, which showed that recipients from the food stamp fund spend approximately $2 billion a year on junk food.

Hospital Cleared In ‘Suicide By Cop’ Case

SALISBURY — The Maryland Court of Special Appeals this week ruled healthcare providers at PRMC could not be held liable for not admitting a man with mental problems, including suicidal thoughts and hallucinations, who was later shot and killed the same day in an apparent “suicide by cop” case.

In April 2009, family members brought Charles Williams, Jr. to PRMC for evaluation over concerns of his mental state after he allegedly was having suicidal thoughts and visual and auditory hallucinations. According to court documents, Williams also believed he was under a curse and exhibited other obsessive and unusual behavior. Williams was examined and evaluated at PRMC.

Although he was lucid and cooperative, Williams told healthcare providers he was experiencing hallucinations and suicidal thoughts. He also told his examiners he believed his ex-girlfriend had put a curse on him and that he experienced blindness when he looked at a text message sent from her while in the emergency room.

Maryland State Police

Hey Joe,

I was informed that the MDSP are about 16 weeks, four months, behind processing background checks for firearms purchases and can no way meet the 8 day turn around for requests. I hear that there are many guns waiting at gander mountain for pick up… guns people have paid for and are waiting for because the mdsp are negligent in their processing. And when they do “approve” some one, it comes back “NOT DISAPPROVED”…

I plan to ask a sheriff’s deputy to escort me to pick up my purchases in eight days and if I am denied my property, to ask the deputy to arrest the person for a property violation.

Things need to start happening and that is my intent.

I will let you know of the timing of my actions… one week from today.

Western Md. Secession Movement Is A Symptom Of A Serious Disease

A small group of Western Marylanders are pursuing a quixotic secessionist movement that would see the state’s four western counties break away and form a new state. Led by Scott Strzelczyk, the secessionists argue Maryland is controlled by a single party and by folks elected from three jurisdictions — Baltimore City, Montgomery County, and Prince Georges County. Everyone else, they say, is being ignored.

Given that western Maryland is overwhelmingly white and rural, some have been quick to dismiss the secessionist movement as a race-based action motivated by white voters fearful of growing diversity in the state. Though such arguments may hold a kernel of truth, they obscure the more fundamental cause for these movements in Maryland and elsewhere. These intra-state movements are driven by a complex mix of issues that go to the very heart of a representative democracy.
