A group opposed to the redevelopment of Solo Cup is demanding that Councilwoman Vicki Almond turn over records related to her efforts on behalf of Greenberg Gibbons, the developer of the project.
The three-page letter filed Tuesday by Say No to Solo Cup requests emails, instant messages and other documents from Almond and her staff as it relates to Greeenberg Gibbons and its lawyers, including former County Executive Jim Smith. Most of the documents requested relate to Almond's travel to Las Vegas to attend the International Council of Shopping Centers conference.
Almond is scheduled next week to announce a zoning decision that could lead to a redevelopment of the Owings Mills property. Greenberg Gibbons plan to build Foundry Row, a shopping center complex that would include a Wegmans grocery store.
Supik declined to discuss the request.
"It wasn't meant to become public to begin with," said Supik, who is part of the group Say No to Solo Cup.
"These are not accusations, these are questions," said Supik. "We're concerned about the integrity of the process and hope that Councilwoman Almond and the County Council will release the information and reassure the public."
Almond was not immediately available for comment.
The letter filed with Almond and the council seeks the documents prior to August 28, when the final zoning decision on the Solo Cup property is scheduled to be announced.
In fact, it also included info that Whole Foods was planning on opening a new store in Columbia, as well. Honestly, I'd be shocked if they opened a Wegman's here. There's no need. It makes no sense with the one in Hunt Valley. I don't doubt the working relationship, but there was a lot of handwringing about even opening the Abingdon one, because they prefer to keep a certain distance between their stores.
I had my car stolen from the OM subway lot and broken into once. What has changed to make anyone think the results would be any different?
Seem to have remembered everything else in that article BUT that.
I would seriously doubt Ms. Almod coming forward with information on this matter. The council will vote across the board with the zoning changes as a matter of councilmatic curtsey or defined as - you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.
He was the County Executive from 2002-2010
If the ratings that matched Congress were in line with their pay we would have a budget surplus. I think you can add Mr. Smith to that list. Apparently he saw the writing on the wall before bowing out of his Senate seat bid.
It's no big deal.
Smith is advertising his connections with the players and that is how the game is played. It's common sense and does not require a middle school education even though you claim among other careers to be an engineer. Ask yourself this. His firm represents Fort Howard. How come they did not see what the GAO is looking at? Makes you wonder doesn't it Dutch. http://dundalk.patch.com/blog_posts/feds-investigate-fort-howard-llc-and-process-behind-project
You just make stuff up, write about it on Patch and pretend it's true.
Now either put up some links, witnesses or other credible evidence behind that mouth or anything else except - Steve says. Either put up or shut up! My witnesses are credible, you are not.
Go to my web site and see how long I've been doing this. Click on articles and read. Not bad with my column appearing next to Andy Rooney. If anyone wants to sue me I'm right here. I would love to get some of these people on the stand under oath and there will be more than reporters in the audience.
I learned many, many years ago as a young cop, never go into court without all of your ducks in a row. A good lawyer will eat you alive. When I get a tip I verify, verify, check and recheck. I run it by my lawyers just to make sure. The problem is that these guys are playing the game and I'm sort of an umpire. They can argue with me in the comments and sue me if I libel them. The danger with a suit they had better be right cause sure as heck, I'll have to whole crowd on the stand and their lies the problem. You sequester those who will testify which presents a complex issue of who is saying what. Then there is the case of documents. I have file drawers of documents obtained through PIA's. I spent 39 years in government. You get to know a lot of people, many of them who have seen it all. When that happens, and you get an unhappy workforce your phone will ring off the hook. There are many times I can't get to all the issues that come my way. I try and work on issues that are new and not previously reported by the media.
I'll give you one last chance to prove that this comment is not a lie brfore shutting you down. Provide us with either the statement that I made about cheating on any tax or evading anything, including your lame comments. Or provide us with the statute that gives the government legal authority to take personal property without your permission. You have failed miserable 9 times now by spewing the same lame lie. Provide some proof or remain the PP goof...you tell a lot of lies, no wonder you cower at using a real name.
More of that Sovereign Citizen BS. How are your fellow Sovereign Citizens making out down in LA after they ambushed the 4 Cops?
