"Joe, thank you for the kind words and flattering photo. If you can have it blown up and framed, I will send a copy to my 92-year-old mother in Glen Arm.
With respect to the recent sewage spill -- WET representatives denounced the last five or six spills, to no avail. As you know, the County is building a new facility at incredible cost to County taxpayers, which will be near capacity when it comes online. What is the solution? Certainly not more septics, or package sewage plants scattered throughout the County. How about we knock down the Bay Bridge, to keep out the likes of me and my family.
Seriously, though, one has to pick your battles; and as an activist lawyer for nearly 40 years, I find damn few that can be won. A number of us in WET looked hard at the 72-inch discharge pipe planned for the Wicomico in Salisbury. If anyone has a legal strategy they believe will be succesful, please come forward so we can consider it.
We are going forward to Circuit Court next month with the first legal appeal in anyone's memory, from a subdivision decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission (via the Board of Appeals) involving a development called Deer Creek, off Morris Road. While the "cluster" designation seems unwarranted, we are also challenging several of the P&Z procedures which seem stacked in favor of developers. Wish us luck; or more helpful, join us in some of these battles.
Your readers are encouraged to see "what we are up to" by viewing our website at www.wicomicoenvironment.org. It is perhaps more fun to sit on the sidelines and pick on our lack of accomplishments. However, WET volunteers contribute several hundred hours of their time each month to what we conceive as the public interest. Come help us, if you agree; if not, then show us where we go astray.
Which brings me back to Andy Harris. I find it ironic that the bloggers criticize WET and others for not taking effective steps to address perceived wrongs in our community; and yet you seem to line up behind the likes of Harris, who bring nothing but negativity, and vote consistently to deny us the tools and the bucks to do anything about these problems. So it goes.
Fondly, Mike Pretl"

This site is for the targets of the monster in Delmar. We will tolerate no negative personal attacks on any of them. If you want to comment to support them, that is welcome. You may not like all of them but that is not the point. The point is to show the malice and evil the monster has done and to collectively support his random targets. No gossip and no unkind words regarding any of these people will be published. The one exception of course, is the monster himself.
