Now look who's acting like a moron. Calling people names as you do and you even claim to be a member of Wyoming United Methodist church. Your a hypocrite. I haven't stated anything that was not true. I have only posted as to my feeling on Mr. Sweeney's honest & caring campaign to date. As I stated you must be Mr. Edmanson or Blakey lying and posting under a fake name. I WILL NOT stop posting about the feelings I have and my support of Mr. Sweeney.

So, Mr. Sweeney keep up the good POSITIVE campaigning because, you will win .
If you want to play that game, then judging by your amount of posts... I would say you are probably Mr. Sweeny himself then... aren't you?
You are acting as a moronic advocate of Mr. Sweeny and if Mr. Sweeny had integrity, he would ask you to stop posting in the manner you have been and represent himself in a more positive manner.
This is just ridiculous... I feel like I am talking to a schizophrenic.
I regret ever joining this board or posting on this forum because I feel as though I have brought myself down to your level... which isn't much.

By the way: #1) if you have knocked on 3,300 hundred doors, I doubt you have spoken to 3,300 people; #2) how did you calculate the distance of walking 135 miles; #3) If you have walked 135 miles, walk a lot more!
As a member of Wyoming United Methodist Church(The same church both candidates attend), I really agree with you concernedcitizen13. I am just in shock that Mr. Sweeny continues to say and attack Mr. Edmanson the way he has. It makes me question if his heart REALLY is in the right place. I know I can't be the only citizen prepared to vote in this upcomming election with the same thoughts.

I am not sure who Kentcitizen#5 is, but I appreciate the vote. I have knocked on 3,300 doors as of tonight, and have walked more than 135 miles in the District. If this election does not turn out my way, it will NOT be because Edmanson outworked me.
I can tell you that if I were in his place, and had quit MY job in June, I would have been knocking on the 3,300th door, FOR THE THIRD TIME! That is right, he quit his State job, after being a State employee for about 8 years, so he has no income from the State, he was only in the US Navy for five years, so no pension, and his wife does not work. How responsible is that?
Here is something that most people do not know. I hired Mr. Edmanson into his first job as a State employee. I was the Manger of Computer Resources for the Oiffce of Information Services and hired him as a Computer Operator. He was living in Sussex County running a retail shop, but his experience in the US Navy and the lack of better applicants earned him the job. When he was not slected to be carried into the new Department of Technology and Information, he moved to the DMV as Manager of the Motor Cycle Licensing Program, them to the Chief of Driver Services. Now he is on the street. He recently applied for a position at DNREC. I wonder if he listed me as a previous Supervisor?

That was a pretty good exchange. I was asked to intervene. I made a committment to stop using alias, and I am standing by that committment.
During the 15+ years that Mr. Blakey was a Levy Court Commissioner, Kent County experienced the most agressive approval of developments ever experienced. The end result is overdevelopment of the county, infrastructure that is severely lagging behind, and a hand-picked successor who confesses to a close relationship with Mr. Blakey that has them "working close together" on problems that face the County.
In 2006, three sitting commissioners, for one reason or another, were replaced (Peterman, Burris,Smith), and a fourth moved to the House (Blakey). I believe the residents of Kent County spoke loud and clear about their feeling on development.
Mr. Edmanson pulled out the GOP machine and had Sussex County people from Progressive Growth Allliance and others come to Kent County a few days before the Jan, 2007 Special Election and make phone calls. While I was out walking and knocking on doors, he waited until the last two days and they made 1,000's of phone calls, and still only beat me by 62 votes.
Since taking the oath in Jan, 2007, Mr. Edmanson has the worst voting record on approving new developments and exempting developments from adhering to the APFO's. While many of those he voted in favor of did not get approved or did not receive the exemption, he still made every attempt to help out Development. He also voted against the balanced 2009 budget and just Tuesday night voted against the 2007 Comprehensive Plan. He stated he had to vote NO because of the opposition that showed up at Court that night.
Mr Edmanson and Mr. Blakey promised regular meetings with the public to discuss issues. I attended all ONE of them. They held it at the CR auditorium, Mr. Blakey spoke, Mr. Edmanson did not. Even Mr. Buckson was there and answered more questions than Edmanson. I think Edmanson attended one HOA meeting at Stonegate, made some promises, and never showed back up.
So, Gators, it is just me. I am not using any other alias. PTG, I will be there at the HOA meeting for Planters Run and am gathering information about power in Kent County, and Radford....
I did not know about the CDEDC meeting, but I was interviewed by them a few weeks ago. I felt I did a good job but have not seen anything on their website. I attended the Polytech Advisory Craft Board last night, where I provide industry input to the curriculum for the Computer Engineering and Technology shop. Scott Kidner is a contributor to my opponent.

| No need for your accusations on me being Jody Sweeeney. I am exactly what my name says a KENTCITIZEN#5 who happens to have my own opinions on the county of which I reside in. I have seen nothing out of Blakey at all and Edmanson is brainless. Just ask the people. Better yet lets see who wins this election. I happen to be supporting Jody Sweeney because he is the one who has the citizens needs at heart! I met him when he knocked on my door and appreciated his true care & concern for our County problems. This is why I WILL VOTE FOR JODY SWEENEY.

It's becoming pretty clear that Jody.Sweeney is also fronting as Kentcitizen#5... (and possibly others as mentioned in earlier posts).

Keep this up... all of you fans are doing a GREAT job of making the people supporting Jody Sweeny look good. He must really care... where was he tonite at the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce event speaking to the people? There sure were a lot of other people running for office there.
Mr. Sweeny, you might want to intervene, you claim you have integrity, let's see.

Good people? What good has either one done? Just name 1..... They have made promises they never kept. The only time you hear or see their names is when it comes to election time. Edmandson was the LONE vote last night...Just think about it...He wanted to look good for the election only...He knew the comp plan was going to pass last night. He's a loser and Blakey is well aligned with him.

THE ELECTION IS NOT OVER!
You have all gone deathly quiet since the primary. Are you taking a break? Only a few elections are now uncontested, and none in the Camden area:
5th District Levy Court, George "Jody" Sweeney vs Edmanson
34th Representative, Gordon "Bruce" Hamilton vs Blakey
16 Senate District, Harold Stafford vs Bonini
17 Senate District, Brian Bushweller vs Hutchison
The election I am involved in is starting to heat up. My opponent is starting to crack, reverting to exaggerations and misleading statements in the press and directly to residents. Yard signs are not going to win this election, but I am now missing up to eight signs, one of them is a large sign. He is running hard on his 5 years of military service and his stance on the gymnasium at Breaknock Park.
The first two are not worth my time to defend or discuss. When they are falsehoods or misleading, there is no response other than quiet. When a SWEENEY FOR LEVY COURT sign is the only sign missing in a group of signs from both parties, it is very obvious who is taking them, and not because they are so much better looking.
As for his military service, I have nothing but extreme gratitude and respect for anyone who is willing to enter the military service for our country. My son-in-law, Chad Jensen, has been in the United States Air Force for 10 years, serving in a tour of duty in Iraq and currently stationed overseas at Ramstein Air Force Base. My brother, Ken Sweeney, is a United States Army Veteran, having served in Berlin, Germany, before the wall came down, with the elite force that guarded Rudolph Hess, the infamous Nazi War Criminal. My Father, George Sweeney, served in the United States Navy in the Pacific Fleet after the Korean War, and my Brother-in-law, Tim Rincon, is a retired Lt. Colonel from the United States Air Force, having served our country in Iraq and well and good in the Air Force's AWAC and Joint Stars programs.
As far as Breaknock Park, Mr. Edmanson claimed he voted against the gym at Breaknock, when it never even came to Levy Court as a vote. The Parks and Rec Committee pulled it from the table before it came to a vote. I was in favor of a gymnasium, with more concern for a place where our kids could go. As a coach in the area for the last 16 plus years, I saw the good that would come from a place where our kids could play indoor soccer, indoor field hockey, basketball, and where parents could drop their kids for the summer programs offered. If not at Breaknock, then someplace close. I understand the opposition by residents of Chapelcroft, but not the Camden Historical Society. This group, so vocal about Breaknock, turned the other cheek when it came to the eyesore white office building that resembles NOTHING historical built right on Main St.
So, Camdenites, lets hear it. Do you want to vote on just one issue? Or do you want a representative who will represent you on ALL issues? I am the only candidate who stood up to Camden Town Council and voiced my opposition to the Camden Comprehensive Plan and the annexation of farmland for high density development. Mr. Edmanson voiced his agreement to the same plan, saying it was good that they were annexing farmland and was very silent during the recent annexation meeting for 170 acres west of town, planned for Savannah Station, more than 1,200 homes. That is completely contrary to his campaign platform of responsible growth.

| My point at the Camden Town Council Meeting is that they are removing the land from the purview of Kent County, leading to a "Developer's Dream". The Developer gets to do d**n near what they want with land inside the growth zone, without having to address their effect on roads, schools, emergency services, water & sewer. Why the change of land from county control to municipal control can't include an approval from the county is beyond me. There could be some kind of input or negotiations between county and municipalities, where the municipality annexes the land, but with all of the ordinance in effect from the county at that point in time.

| What a shame. Another example of the town/developer relationship that penalizes everyone not in the inner circle. You can bet the impact of that massive development will be felt well outside the town limits [schools, roads, etc.]. It is just a shame the County stands by and watches the towns gobble up the land for their developer buddies.

Monday night, at the Camden Town Meeting, the venerable Camden Town Council, in its infinite wisdom, voted to annex 170 of the 310 acres of Savannah Farms property into town. The "plan" for that property is 1,543 homes. The Savannah Farms project, a project by Lacrosse Homes and John Dixon, is across the towns of Wyoming and Camden. Wyoming has the smallest part, about 140 acres and 300 homes. Canden has 170 acres and 1200 homes.
About a month ago, I met with my buddy, the Mayor of Camden, and asked him some pointed questions about the Piney Point aquifer and enrollment at CR.
He brought in David Edgell from State Planning and Stuart Lovell from DNREC to address these issues.
This aquifer is the MAIN deep water well for the peninsula. In 2002, the Kent County Comprehensive Plan (http://66.173.241.168/kent_co/comp_plan/index.htm) states:
In contrast to the shallow-aquifer extraction favored by individual on-lot well operators, municipal systems have sought to tap deeper aquifers, principally because of expected high yields, inherently high water quality, and assurance against contamination from ground-level sources. With the exception of the coastal region, water supplies underlying the County are generally plentiful; however, there are limitations on obtaining sufficient quantities where local extraction rates are high. The extensive tapping of the Piney Point aquifer, for example, by the City of Dover, the Dover Air Force Base, and the Camden-Wyoming Sewer and Water Authority, has meant the near-complete utilization of this source. Other deep aquifers or shallower aquifers will yield water supplies that will likely need some form of water treatment.
May Mooney said he has learned more about aquifers in the last month than he ever wanted to know. You are welcome Bob. The attempt was to take the wind out of my sails in my major contention with their plan to develop this area.
I asked questions of both Mr. Lovell from DNREC and Mr. Edgell from State Planning. Then, I was given the opportunity to speak. I am opposed to this and ANY annexation that allows developers to circumvent the ordinances enacted by Levy Court to address infrastructure, unless the town annexing the land has SIMILAR ordinances. All this does is allow the developer to exploit farmland.
WG said exactly NOTHING! He was in favor of their plan almost a year ago, and he will not grow a pair and say anything against his friends on Council now.
WG is a developer-friendly Commissioner and becuase he is not of the same mind as the other Levy Court Commissioners, he calls himself an "independent thinker". How much of an "independent thinker" do you REALLY think he is! Is this the kind of representation you want on Levy Court?

I can't believe Mr. Lynn spent the amount of money on his TV ad..or better yet his contribution money from his special interest groups. This isn't a campaign for a presidential election. Makes me think what his decision making is all about. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Best of luck to Mr. Alan Angel....A man of honesty...a man for the PEOPLE.
Vote Alan angel

I have started something new on my website. Here is a link:
http://www.friendsforjodysweeney.com/2008Comparison.pdf
Maybe if some of you know my opponent, you can get me the information to fill in for him. Such as his community involvement. I understand he calls a great game of Bingo! But I included the VFW. I do not know if he is a member of the Wyoming United Methodist Church, or if he is a member. I do not know if he has any other community service or involvement.

| Am I being uncivil? I don't think so. I am running my campaign on his voting record. We cannot afford it anymore. The 5th District is running out of farmland, or Mr. Edmanson is standing aside while Camden takes it all.

I was in favor of a gym in the 5th District. There are any number of places to put a gym, some on County land, some not. Other than the 2nd District, which is primarily inside the city limits of Dover, the 5th District is the next smallest district. Our children, especially those in Rodney Village, Camden, Wyoming, Briar Park, Newells Creek, Star Hill need to have some type of venue close by to participate in sports. When Mr. Edmanson started commenting that Mrs. Goggins was opposed to the gym, his ability to push the limits of the truth pushed my buttons. I came down on the polar opposite of the issue. Mr. Edmanson wanted no gym.
The deed for the Goggin Farm to the county allows for any number of structures at the Park. THe Historical Society is now pushing for a resolution to prevent any advancement at Breaknock Park, which would be COMPLETELY AGAINST the intent of the will. I did not know Mrs. Goggins and only a lawyer can interpret the intent of the will, but as many people who were against the gym, I am positive there is 10 times that number who wanted the gym, but did not speak up.
But don't be a one issue voter. Mr. Edmanson has done more to harm this county and the 5th District in his 19 months on the Levy Court than any other commissioner in 25 years.

| Lets discuss another issue that has been rearing its ugly head the last few days. The County gym will be built at Dykes Branch Rd, north of Dover. The Historical Society of Camden, you know who they are because they have green and white signs in their front yards right now, were adamant that Mrs. Goggins did not want a gym at Breaknock Park. They are now supporting the guy with the green and white signs because he cowtowed to them. Where were they when the ugly white office building was going up, less than 100 feet from where the gym was to be built? The ugly white office building repalced a beautiful Victorian home.

I have been going around this issue for a few days, with DelDOT and a close friend. The law states that political signs on public lands are okay 30 days before and after an election or in an election district. it does not specify a specific office, or specific district. So, the fact that we have a gubernatorial election, opens it up wide for ANY candidate to place their signs in public lands.
My choice is to distribute my signs to friends, family, and supporters over the Labor Day weekend, and to public lands the first week of October, 30 days before the election, as is the tradition in Delaware.

| DelDOT will be picking up political signs right after they pick up those developer signs that litter the highways by the hundreds or thousands every weekend. In short, don't hold your breath.... Last edited on Thu Aug 28th, 2008 04:43 am by Hartlyboy

| I canvassed in the Lion's Den tonight. I walked through Chapelcroft, who had so many residents that were opposed to putting the County gymnasium on the Breaknock Park grounds. A few were simply polite and said they wished me well. I had a few that said they supported me and would vote for me.But I had one, who point blank said I would not get her vote because of my support for the Gymnasium. I asked for an opportunity to defend my actions, and she was gracious enough to listen while I explained. I was completely in favor of the County Gymnasium, and the location was Breaknock Park. A gym there would be available for children in Kent Acres, Rodney Village, Briar Park, Royal Grant, Camden, Wyoming, Fairfield Farms and others close by. These children have nothing to keep them busy and to help them avoid the downfalls of childhood; drugs, drinking, smoking, and other troubles. My deisire to provide this resource to our children blinded me to the beauty of Breaknock Park. My opponent pushed my buttons during the debates about this park, and I naturally responded as anyone to a defensive position. What really irked me more than anything is that my opponent went to great lengths to stop the gym, period. He made no effort to work with the Parks and Rec Division of Levy Court, other than to question their integrity. I would have worked with them to review other areas close to the population centers where the greater good would be able to take advantage of such a resource.

| That is unfortunate. State law says that unless the sign is on private land, candidate must wait until 30 days before their election to put signs along DelDOT right of ways. Other than mine, my brothers, and my mom and dads, my signs will go into friends and family yards on Labor Day weekend and onto public lands in October.

Have you driven on Rt 1 lately? There are political signs up and down that road
and have been for about two or three weeks already.

URkidding is busted. Mr. Sweeney has been pointing out issues with the 3rd District race using URKidding as his name. How many of the rest of you have multiple names?
Too bad about the signs though. bet there in some dumpster somewhere. What happens when more of them go out....

| I have not put out my signs yet. I am waiting for the traditional start of sign season, usually Labor Day Weekend. But I do have them in three places other than my home. I have one at my parents, one at my cousins on Dawson's corner, and two at my brother's corner in Camden. last night, before sunset, someone walked onto my brother's property and removed two signs. This is an unfortunate petty and criminal thing to do. If you witness an act of this type, I would ask you to report it to the State, Camden, or Wyoming Police. I have sent an email to the State Republican Chair and the Kent County Republican chair asking them to please ask their supporters not to touch the signs placed in the public.

| Lets get one thing straight. Signs will not win an election, nor will letters in the mail. I had two signs removed from a family member's yard tonight. I suppose that Mr. Edmanson's supporters think that signs are the only way to win. I have only placed fiver signs in the public, and three of them are gone. The only two remaining are on my property and my parents. Lets be clear, It is a common someone that will stoop to petty theft to try to win a campaign for a small elected office in the County. If you are already in office, you run on your voting record, not by attacking your opponent. If you are challenging, you run on what you can do better than the elected official. Stealing signs is common.

Lets keep this to CAMDEN issues, since this is a Camden forum. There are only a few elections affecting Camden this year:
President, McCain or Obama
Governor, Lee or Markell and Carney
LT Governor, Copeland or Denn
Senator, Hutchinson or Bushweller
Representative, Blakey or party to be named later
Levy Court |
