Local Republican Central Committee Chairman Puts Democratic Campaign Sign On His Property

 

The Chairman of the Wicomico County Republican Central Committee, Mark McIver, posts a Democrats 8 ft. billboard on his commercial property on Moss Hill Lane.  The core function of the Republican Central Committee is to support and elect Republicans not Democrats. Mark McIver and Muir Bota got elected to the Republican Central Committee to elect Republicans and they are failing their constituents!  It may be considered a "nonpartisan" race but Jake Day is a well know Partisan.  He is a Socialist who is registered as a Democrat and despises President Trump.  It is known that the Vice Chair of the Republican Central Committee, Muir Bota, openly admitted he was going to vote for the Democrat and not the Republican candidate for Mayor of Salisbury.  What is wrong with the local Republican Party in Wicomico County?

A Viewer Writes: Pittsville Town Council Candidate Challenged With "Theft By Deception"

During the water plant issues last summer, the Town of Pittsville purchased cases of bottled water for affected residents. Some of the citizens, including Sean McHugh and Dawn Mace personally delivered these cases of water door to door upon request. We met them when we were moving in and didn’t know yet about the water issues. 

Shortly after, Ivory Smith and Jared Schablein approached Pittsville Ford and asked for a donation of bottled water on behalf of town residents. 

Pittsville Ford generously donated 50 cases of bottle water. 

Jared and Ivory set up a table on Old Ocean City Rd. giving out the donated water to anyone who stopped, no matter if they lived in Pittsville town limits or not. 

After it was over, Ivory took it all home with him and that’s where it stayed. He has been asked numerous times to turn over the bottle water to the Town so it can be passed out to residents if needed. He has refused and to this day is keeping it all. He claims he will give it out if anyone asks, but he has not. And it isn’t “his” water to give away, it belongs to the residents. 

I personally reached out to him and offered to load it in my van and take it to the town to store it so it is available to the residents if needed. He never answered back. He doesn’t answer anyone who asks him questions on line. 

At one time the Town didn’t have room to store it but they do now. If Ivory and Jared asked for the water on behalf of the town, then they were representing themselves as “the Town”. In which case, Ivory should not be holding OUR emergency water supply hostage. If they represented themselves to Pittsville Ford asking for donations of water for the town then KEPT the rest for them, that is THEFT BY DECEPTION. 

Ivory Smith what else are you going to hold hostage for your own agenda if you got elected to town council? SMH

A Viewer Writes......American Education Week Cancelled

Did you know that Wicomico County has cancelled “American Education Week” because of security concerns. I watched some of the replay from last week’s BOE meeting and those were Fitzgerald’s words. Go figure… you can’t make this stuff up. You have to wonder when the Maryland State Department of Education is going to step in.

A Viewer Writes: Wicomico county balloon release ban

Good morning Joe, I wanted to see if any other Wicomico County residents see the irony in the county banning the release of balloons due to environmental reasons but they will allow this garbage "Wicomico Weekly" newspaper to be thrown out along the roadway and in people's yards. There are three different signs posted in our neighborhood that read "NO LITTERING 1000.00 FINE" yet our roads are saturated with this publication every week. If this paper wants to reach all the residents make them put up the proper receptacle.

Question Of The Day 10-19-19

A Viewer Writes: Salisbury Voting Districts are SCREWED up!

Can someone tell me why Salisbury residents who live in what is called a " shaded " area/district are NOT allowed to vote in the upcoming election for Salisbury Mayor? My sister lives off of Regency Drive, pays a quarterly water bill to Salisbury and called to find out where the location was that she would vote was told that she CAN'T vote! The area that she is in includes parts of College Ave and Beaglin Park and Snow Hill Rd. and a lot of other streets in the area are also not allowed to vote. Are the college students who are only " part time residents " allowed to vote but a full time resident who actually lives here full time is not?

190-pound mastiff, Floyd, rescued after becoming exhausted on a mountain hike

SALT LAKE CITY — Floyd the mastiff went for a hike with his owner up the Grandeur Peak trail near Salt Lake City on Sunday, Oct. 13, but when it was time to come down, Floyd was too exhausted and just sat down.

Thanks to the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office’s search and rescue team, the 190-pound dog made it home by being carried back down the trail.

The rescue team was called around 6:30 p.m. after other hikers passed Floyd on the trail and saw his owner needed help. The 3-year-old dog wouldn’t budge, and temperatures in the area were quickly dropping, according to police.

“The team is completely volunteer,” Sgt. Melody Gray of the Unified Police Department, which works with the sheriff’s search and rescue team, told CNN. “They had no hesitation whatsoever, even when they heard it was a dog.”

Maryland officer punched in fight over pro-Trump clothes

An Anne Arundel police officer was punched twice in the head at a high school football game last month, another example of rising political and racial tensions in the county.

The officer, who has not been identified, was treated for a concussion after being punched at the Old Mill-North County game in Glen Burnie on Sept. 27, said Sgt. Jackie Davis, a police spokeswoman.

The officer was one of several escorting unruly spectators from the game after arguments and a fight broke out over clothing printed with slogans supporting President Donald Trump.

Time Running Short For Wicomico County To Hire Attorney

SALISBURY – County officials say the clock is ticking to select a new county attorney.

The Wicomico County Council says an extension that allows for Paul Wilber to serve as acting county attorney will expire on Nov. 4.

But when asked for an update on the search process for a new attorney last week, County Executive Bob Culver said he declined to speak on the matter until Wicomico County Purchasing Agent Nicholas Rice could share his opinions on the procurement process and the reasoning for recommending Wilber’s law firm – Webb, Cornbrooks, Wilber, Vorhis, Douse, Leslie & Mathers, LLP – to continue providing legal services.

“I think you all need to know what his feelings are on that,” he said.

In May, the council voted 6-1, with Councilman Bill McCain opposed, to fire County Attorney Paul Wilber effective July 31.
