There is a lot a blogger can do… Shine the light…
We know Andrea Daley from her posts on Nancy’s Delaware Way….
This is her bio.
A graduate of Rutgers University in New Jersey, she previously served on the board of directors and as the vice-president of programming for the Holocaust Education Center of the Delaware Valley. Daley is currently the president of the Chesapeake Meadow Maintenance Corporation and a volunteer with the Cub Scouts and the Middletown High School Robotics Club.
But who is Weldin? Steve Amick himself came out in Weldin’s support….
A graduate of the University of Delaware, he is a volunteer firefighter with Aetna Hose, Hook & Ladder Company, serves as an Emergency Medical Services Officer and a coach for youth baseball, football and basketball teams.
But in the News Journal, there was this personal statement that needs looked at…
It could be true… and I could not be…
I can not beleive Amick Supports a Criminal… This guy weldin was a Newark cop forced to Retire after he was caught “stealing”. He is a compulsive liar that has cheated on his first wife and hasn’t seen one of his kids in years. This guy says he’s a fireman and an EMT but has not been on a firetruck or ambulance in at least 10 years…. Anyone who is currently a Poilce officer in Newark knows this information. How could Amick be so blind…. I guess that’s why he’s retiring….. He’s finally lost it. I wouldn’t vote for Weldin if he was the last man standing… What kind of clients does he have in that so called consulting firm…. I’ll tell you his own subdivision….. What a rat…. Yeah Steve, let’s elect anonother crook to Dover… that’s what we need…. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this a comment from a reader on the News Journal’s web site? If so, treat it with great caution, I think.

Yes, great caution is being exercised here… The choice I had, was keeping it hidden, or exposing it and looking for balance to counteract it…
An untested candidate is worse than one tested and deemed honest.

Full disclosure: I know Jim and have done some work with him. Seems OK to me, but I’m not voting in that (or any other) republican primary.

Mind if I ask what you do know about Jim, now that you have given full disclosure?

Mike Matthews has posted a version of this and he told me today that the information has been independently verified by at least two people who would know. I imagine that it is going to stick.
I know that it was given to Al Kemp of the WNJ last week along with the phone number of the person who says he/she will verify it anonymously…which is why the WNJ probably won’t touch it.

I am the GIS data coordinator for Delaware and Jim has been working as a consultant to the Homeland security folks on projects that involve GIS data. He seems like a nice enough guy and one who wants to take advantage of what the technology has to offer. I’ve also seen him speak at League of Local Government meetings on security issues.
I’m mostly concerned about the door we open when we grant too much credence to anonymous commenters on the cesspit that is Delaware OnLine.

Thanks Mike,
As one who has effectively dealt with anonymous-Delawareonline-entities (ADE’s) before on “another topic’,…. I can tell you that the best defense (as with roaches), is to shine the light of truth right on them…
For already, we have someones testimony which counteracts the allegations anonymously made, but we still have no verification from any authority, offering any authenticity to the charges made in the first place…..
Better than any argument one could say or make in defense of Mr. Weldin, that discrepancy essentially debunks the initial charges as being rather groundless…
I hope I’m helping the cause of truth, here, by raising the charge out of the shadows, pulling it up into the light of truth, on a level where it can be properly examined…
The tenth district is nominating someone to fill Steve Amick’s seat. That nominee may be there for a long time…. Vetting appropriately before making a choice, I believe, is always a good thing…..
Mike, thanks for stepping up with your response… Since so much is riding on this election, I certainly hope others chip in as well… It will be a sad day for this first state, if they don’t and the wrong person takes charge…..
