A Primer on Pocomoke Tattler Local News - A MUST READ for Old & New Visitors

Primer to new readers of the Pocomoke Tattler if you want to come up to speed on the open corruption in Pocomoke City Maryland, home of the real ‘Boss Hogg’ and known to drug dealers and buyers as ‘The Friendliest town on the Eastern Shore…” Stephanie asked me to do a little searching to find some posts about Christine Sheddy and this was like a walk down memory lane. I decided to copy and paste links to some of the posts about local Pocomoke ‘News’ and rants on the open corruption by our municipal government. I know it’s a long post and there are links to every post mentioned, please feel free to click through and comment on any of the posts you find. If you think we are full of BS then pick up the phone and call your city councilman, the Mayor or Boss Hogg… but be ready to be blown over by a blast of indignant hot air from these crooked politicians who operate in the open. CHRISTINES MOM ASKS, “PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY DAUGHTERS BODY”!!!http://www.pocomoketattler.com/?p=223 She has still not been found and the Mayor of Pocomoke has been taken off the case with this being handed off to one of my favorite cops on the shore Dale Trotter, who works like a crazed hound dog on the hunt. After a year and a half of nothing being done I would give even money on an arrest or warrant being issued in less than 30-days. January 20th 2008

When Are the People Going to Say “I’m Mad as Hell and Not Going to Take it Anymore”

It’s official the government of Pocomoke

City is openly corrupt.

There is no need for election districts, the City does not obey its own laws & the City government thumbs its collective nose at any citizen asking they do obey the law.X-Councilman Honiss cane has moved outside of district two, its common knowledge but with Russ Blake & Mike McDermott backing his play the law is down the toilet.

You Can’t Make This Boss Hogg Behavior Up… It’s Pocomoke

We were provided and hand delivered a photocopy of the employment contract for Chief of Police, but were unilaterally denied a copy of the contract for the City Manager in a manner that was not consistent with the Maryland

It’s a new day for open government in Pocomoke City!

No Response From Pocomoke City Hall on Cane Resignation Status… More Lies to Citizens Expected…has been no response official or otherwise from Pocomoke City Hall on the fact that longtime City Councilman and Boss Hogg Insider Honiss Cane is no longer qualified to retain his Council seat for District Two. This district was created after Mr. Cane successfully sued the City of Pocomoke City with the help of the ACLU & NAACP to form gerrymandered “minority” based election districts.

A Pocomoke Tattler Classic:

Mayor McDermotts says “those who are elected should be setting the best examples for their fellow citizens.”

Duh!!!! I think that is what we have been saying here over and over and over and over again for months!!!!!So why is Mayor McDermott defending Councilman Cane and his blatant “I’m above the law” antics?

November 21st the question nobody has been able to answer, asked yet one more time!

What is Pocomoke famous for? Crack & crooked politicians don’t count

The question is asked; what is Pocomoke famous for?
Crisfield has the crabs, Chincoteague, Oysters, Berlin its small town “Disneyesque” charm, fiddlers convention, arts nite, Ocean City the boardwalk, fries & seaside funk, but Pocomoke is famous for the cheapest easiest to “score on the street” crack cocaine because of its crooked politicians turning a blind…

What can I say???

The Mayor Must Be *REALLY* BUSY Working for Boss Hogg

Mayor Mike McDermott must have been really busy since September 4th 2008 or there simply has been nothing to report to the citizens from Pocomoke

City Hall. We have had a link to his webblog on the left column of our website since he started the blog and the last entry states:

I want to apologize…

Yes Mayor McDermott you owe the people of Pocomoke City an apology for not firing Russ Blake the day after you were elected, remaining silent about Honiss Cane’s illegal retention of his Council seat, not firing the Chief whom you labeled as “totally incompetent” prior to your election, allowing an additional $4-million dollars to be pumped into the Discovery Center on your watch, not closing down the open air drug market and making our kids walk to school in the middle of the street because there are no sidewalks.

That would be a good start, then you can get off your ass and fire Boss Hogg Russ Blake then get indignant with Honiss Cane PUBLICLY instead of smiling and handing him an award for being a councilman longer than anyone in Pocomoke’s 300-year history of open corruption.

Balls? What Balls?

Nobody even recognizes the man we thought we elected to clean up Pocomoke and its open corruption.

Hope the discount on the paint job was worth your soul.

It’s Pocomoke…
