A Viewer Writes: Somerset County

I find it surprising that I have seen nothing in the news about the turmoil in Somerset County Government.  The County Administrator was suspended, the Warden of Somerset County Jail was fired, and another high ranking official in Finance was fired as well…. whaaaat?  On top of that, the head of HR quit under pressure.  and yet, nothing in the local news?

  1. Don’t forget the Education Superintendent announcing retirement after being caught lying about his County of residence! MD Education Superintendents are #1 on the corruption scale! No wonder THE CHILDREN can’t read or write, their “role models” are busy stealing from the taxpayers.

        1. Corrections Like Police is a THANKLESS JOB !!!! STAY AWAY from it people !!!
          You did not do the Crime so WHY do the TIME ????? DUGH

    1. Don’t Forget ECI rejects who went to Wor Wic to pose as Security !!! LOL What a Joke they were !!!
      Vann / Bittinger / and the rest !!!!!

        1. Good thing is when these Bad Apples leave ECI cushy positions they will then have to
          go out in the Real World & work Menial jobs again NOT in charge of anybody ever again !
          If they stay on DelMarVa they are in for a Rude Awakening too !!!! Poor Area !!!! LOL

          1. Racists > Capt Warren / Capt Mathews / Lt Ward / Lew Williams / Maj King
            Kimble loved to Torment WHITE OFFICERS !!! ECI

        1. Brimer Never done shhht the whole time at ECI > kiss ass / snitch !!! Never worked ANY posts in the damn place !!!! They gave him Capt !!!! Rank was given out like
          CANDY at E C I !!!!! Yes Men Yes Women !!!! The Real Officers NEVER got any RANK

    1. 10:48 – A bunch of people were fired, and no updates can be given on those situations or any others that may be in process as HR law/ confidentiality can’t be breached. Nobody who actually knows about what is occurring can talk about it as they don’t want to be fired for violating the law. That leaves the rest of us the only option of speculation.

  2. Jail & Prison Wardens ALL CROOKED !!!! ECI / Somerset jail / Salisbury jail / Snow hill Jail !!!! FACT
    History of Corruption !!!! DOC = Division of Corruption !!!

      Your correct about ECI corruption

      I testified in drug related matters to State Police, FBI undercover in the late 80s of those who knew about drugs , staff using drugs, and introducing drugs to the inmates.

      The Warden i( retired) is doing 30 years in the Federal system, the Security chief was fired, but now works for the County.
      Reprimands were given out to Captains, Asst Warden GRE#$, .

      Eci never forgave me and constantly over looked me for promotion for 20 years

      I finally had enough of the ECI corruption, and retired in the 2000s .

      1. That’s the problem with Government employees. They all expect to be paid for staying home and not working.. It’s a good thing Ole Joe B came along!

          1. Cunningham Never did any work nor did Cauffman (both given Capt ranks)
            Never worked anything !!! In the Warden Green’s Click !!!! Both Slept around
            the circle of the place !!!! Cunningham finally FIRED !!! Cauffman later goes
            to Wicomico Cty Jail As ASSIST WARDEN ( not qualified ) Kalourmakis & Kimball
            go there too ( should Never have been Hired ) ALL ECI SCUM & REJECTS !!!! Well Known by all !!!!!

  3. It doesn’t matter what you publish. It will have zero effect on Somerset County and its citizens. They absolutely do whatever they want to without any repercussions! This is why Somerset County is rated as the poorest in the State of Maryland!! True that!!

  4. And don’t forget the Somerset band teacher being charged with having a relationship with a high school student back in the 90’s. At that time he taught at Stephen Decatur. Lou Taylor, principal at the time and current Superintendent in Worcester county, kept it hush hush and let the teacher resign to go work in Somerset.

  5. You just haven’t been paying attention to the right news sources, Elon has been reporting substantially, but as we all know, money talks and losers walk. MAGA BLM!!

  6. Corruption goes back a long ways in Somerset. Odd thing is that some of the commissioners and county attorney have played the same role in all those years. Somerset citizens care but are powerless against the good old boy network. It wasn’t that long ago when the States Attorney’s office was corrupt as well but at least the voters made a change in that situation. States Attorney’s office now seems to be doing a good job. Maybe they need to look into some of what is alleged here.

    1. How was it corrupt?They were very nice To me. They all had money and were all from out of town. Not sure what corruption you are talking about? Please tell!!!

  7. Newspapers don’t do any investigative reporting anymore. They basically reprint public information and the weather. I agree we would like to know what is going on in this county.

  8. also there is no local newspaper–and the tv stations all want fluff pieces—i don’t read anything from around here anymore of value

  9. I was one of the Good & Best officers there at Hotel Hell ( ECI ) (20 yrs) & I always said I would work for the FBI
    for free (Wire Me Up ) to lock up the Dirty Bastards in their Corrupt mgmnt that Always were against us &
    always sided with their Corrupt Inmates !!!!! I left before the Big Scandal took place where the FBI WAS there & Lock Up & Fired as many as 80 or so Dirty Officers !!!! Maybe they got WARDEN GREEN too with
    her sidelkick Hanke !!!! LOL LOL Good Riddons to the HELL on EARTH PLACE > Life is too Short !! BYE BYE

    1. 20 years there was 20 years out of my LIFE WAISTED for too Little PAY !!! Now they start Newbies
      at more than DOUBLE what the hell we got when I started & that is WRONG !!!!!
      We started @ $ 19,200 a Year Now it is $ 53,000 Year More than I got in 20 years there !! PISSED !!

    1. Carroza thought that the Maryland justice Reinvestment Act was a GOOD thing…it’s the biggest piece of crap legislature EVER…you actually thins she is interested in “fixing” anything?

        1. Reiken & K GREEN (warden ) should be in prison for Life for All the bad Harassment they
          put on the Good officers their time there at ECI !!!!!! Breaking Many Laws about
          HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT !!!!! Not to Mention siding with Inmates !!!!

  10. Well guess Rick Pollitt will take over after Snow Hill Gets RID of him !!!!! He floats around to all the counties !!!!

        1. Harelston was a discrace to the military calling himself a General !!! He was RACIST against all the WHITE officers & sided with the Bad inmates his whole time there !!!!!!

        2. More Garbage worked there was > Kimble / Williams / Maj King / Cpt Lewis /
          Lt Inkrote
          Lt Bittinger / Lt Ward / Lt Richey / Maj Green /
          to name a few ( E C I )

  11. How about all the closed meetings the commissioners have? They like to operate in secrecy. Transparency is only a suggestion is Somerset.

  12. Like with the outside police the ECI Best officers NEVER got Promoted Only the Worthless ones who kissed ass & Backstabbed for the Dirty Mngmnt !!!!! FACT

  13. Getting back on the subject of Somerset county and 10:37 comment. I don’t know where you were from but obviously not Somerset. The commissioners have always been locals and not from out of town. As far as having money, maybe the reason they have it is because they are crooked. An example of being good old boys was a statement made earlier about a previous detention center warden that was hired after he had been fired from ECI for wrong doing. That decision was made for a reason but not the correct reason. It’s called politics and that is just plain wrong. And yes some of the same commissioners are still there.

  14. Crabbers went to work at ECI because they make more money there and they don’t have to work hard. It’s really a easy government job. Most ECI employees could not last two days on the water.

      1. Larry Tyler ( One post sitting on his ass until he left ) / Lt Rhodes / Lt Milliner the Smith
        Island Cake connection / Laybo bros crab meat connection /
        Crisfield Sponges !!!!

  15. At ECI I scored the Highest on the state Sgt Test & the crooks there would Never let me have it but Oh they
    would make me work the Sgt posts though (without the pay ) !!!!!

  16. Crooked WCDC (Salisbury Jail ) was terrible > worse than ECI !!!! Wardens there Fired too all the time !!!
    Welch / Kalourmakis / & more !!!!!!

    1. Black Females ( so called officers) Never even worked the Two main Blocks there (WCDC) for over
      20 years until they finally got wrote up by a Good White male officer for Discrimination 2011
      Then they Finally had to do their job & work B & C block ( the main Inmate Blocks ) !!!!! FACT
      They were Lazy & used to laugh at the male White officers who were worked to death every day !!!!

  17. Crooked Wicomico County Jail just gets Rid of the Good officers before their 5 year mark so they Loose any
    Retirement they stayed there for !!! FACT Unlike the State prison ECI these County officers had No
    protections like Classified Service with the state & You can be Terminated for No Reason !!! (work at will state )

    1. At the State prison system you were in the Classified system so they Could NOT fire you for just any
      reason & had to prove a case against you or leave you alone weather they Hated you or Not !!!
      The way it should be !!! These counties get away with murder because they have no Classified
      system like the state govt !!!!! They get rid of you for NO reason !!!! Should be Illegal as hell !!!!!
      If you have less than 5 years in there then you loose your Retirement !!!! Not Right !!!!

  18. Somerset county Teacher (Female) just on FOX NEWS ( Natl TV ) on the list of past teachers who had Sex with
    their Students (Minors ) !!! LOL LOL Perfect Timing !!!

  19. At Wicomico County Jail I was best officer there & worked my ass off & Reported the Dirty ones there as a
    Whistleblower to the FED /STATE/ County Levels , then they just get rid of me for reporting them !!!
    There really is NO Protection for Whistleblowers !!!!

    1. Wicomico County should be made to have a Classified System for officers so they CANNOT just
      get rid of them just because they don’t like them !!!!! Like the STATE of MD has !!!!!
      Whistle Blowers are Supposed to be Protected by Law & it needs to be ENFORCED !!!!!

      1. And ALL the inmates / even the Bad ones Respected him & he was well known 24 years !!!!!
        He always treated people right because he was so mistreated he knew right from wrong !!!!!

        1. I’m glad you’re still alive Buddy. It’s too bad that the real truth about corrections and corruption will never be known.

  20. Maybe his sacrifice will save the new people of today from going to Corrections !!!!! Life is too Short to waist it !!!!
