Gary Comegys Simply Can’t Keep The Stories Straight

Salisbury city councilman Gary Comegys smells blood in the water; so does the Tilghman Times.  Sadly, they can’t quite figure out whose blood it is.  Is it Councilwoman Debbie Campbell’s?  How about Mayor Jim Ireton’s?  Therefore, Comegys is trying to play both sides against the middle, while Councilwoman Louise Smith simply peers over the side of the boat in her typical demented haze.

Evidently SPD chief Allan Webster was warned by the people actually running Salisbury that Ireton would fire him if he spoke to the press again regarding his campaign against Campbell.  Therefore, the Tilghman Times is using Comegys as the current attack dog for the Barrie Comegys party.  Unfortunately, Comegys doesn’t have the mental capacity to keep all of the lies straight in the Barrie Comegys party’s little soap opera we have all come to know as TapeGate.

According to Comegys, Campbell’s call for the release of ALL SPD information regarding this matter amounts to a “political stunt”:

"She first says she doesn’t know anything about (the tape). Then she says she did know all about it, but denies being in possession of police evidence; it all just seems like a political ploy," he said. "And, really, what would be accomplished by releasing what she wants released? The evidence everyone’s talking about is missing from the evidence locker."

Gary must know something that Campbell and Ireton don’t know.  According to correspondence from Webster, there is no report on any break-ins at the former address of Salisbury Neighborhood Housing Service on Baptist Street.  There hasn’t been any claim by Webster that “evidence” went missing from the SPD’s evidence locker.  Perhaps Webster is sharing information with Comegys that he is withholding from the Mayor?

In addition, Comegys asserts that Ireton is “re-opening” a “closed investigation”:

"The mayor all along has hid behind this being a personnel issue, and now that his ally, Mrs. Campbell, has asked that evidence and documentation be made available to the public, he’s going to do it?" he said. "(Ireton) told the police chief not to talk about it publicly; (Ireton) ended the chief’s investigation into this matter. And now, just because Mrs. Campbell says so, (Ireton) is going to re-open this case?"

Comegys needs to get his stories straight.  Unfortunately, when you are depending upon serial liars that can prove a little difficult.

The “personnel issue” Comegys is referring to is regarding Campbell’s letter to Ireton regarding Webster.  TapeGate is a separate matter and is only related to the first in so far as Webster attempted to claim “whistle blower” status as a ploy to protect his job.  Unfortunately for the citizens of Salisbury, Tilghman Times reporter Laura D’Alessandro is either too biased and / or too dim witted to grasp the difference.

Unable to stick to a story that even has a hint of truth, the Barrie Comegys party even used its house blog to hint that a “copy of the tape may exist”.  This would almost be interesting (fictional) story telling, except that Comegys has already stated that the supposed tape is “missing from the (SPD) evidence locker”.  Can anyone wonder why this “gang that couldn’t shoot straight” was trounced at the polls this past spring?

What will be next from the Barrie Comegys crew?  Cries of a cover-up?

This would be supremely interesting given that Webster claims that this supposed tape exists, yet all of the supposed evidence has disappeared from SPD.  It is Campbell who has called for the release of all material, not Webster or his cohort Gary Comegys.
