Not to be a tattle tale or anything ( I’m going somewhere with this), but one of my favorite new blogs, Redwaterlily’s Ramblings has not posted since March 30th..
It reminds me of when I did the same (Dec 22 thru March 6th)… By not posting, it leaves readers to peruse the same post multiple times.. We simply can’t help ourselves.. Sooner or later we take the time to actually read what was written.. as opposed to just skimming….
Guilty, I was…
So I finally got to this part of her message lying around for a week on her last post….
The Baker family has filed for 28.5 acres to be rezoned Heavy Industrial adjacent to the Pemberton Development in Milton. This zoning – H1 – is the heaviest industrial zoning possible.
This is why politics is serious business.. This is why politics is too important to be left in the hands of politico’s and their friends in the press and media… This is why politics must remain in the hands of average citizens who take the time to find out what is “really” going on and educate their neighbors and hell, once in a lifetime, put up their money and reputation and run for office…
This is what would have happened all across Sussex County if the lower third of our state’s citizens had voted Mark Baker into office… Sussex County would be ruined forever!!!!!!!!
Fortunately that spot was taken by Joan Deaver.. normal person extrodinaire…
But without bloggers making the connections for voters, the myth that Mark Baker would not dare develop Sussex County for his own family’s personal fortune, might have been believed… After all, there was no Sussex media outlet who dared challenge the pretension that Baker was a stoolie for his family and developers…
But real people did…
Real people stood up and called him out enough so that after all his public posterings, it was obvious that Sussex County under the guidance of a member of the “Baker” family, would as one blogger acknowledged, turn Sussex County into Harlem…
The Bakers would get rich… The rest of use would pay for the crime…
That did not happen because of many ordinary people who love Sussex County and want their children to love it too.. Two who deserve special mention are Jud Bennett, and Joan Deaver… Both put themselves on line, almost lying on the macadam in front of a charging bus, relying solely upon their faith that those passengers inside,could in time wrest control the insane driver positioned behind the steering wheel…
The Baker family is insane. Thanks to Redwaterlily for jogging our memories once again as to why this family needs to be put away politically, for good, as does Rich Collins of similar vein….
Cancer needs to be excised.
I am glad that post was left up so I, the stupidest of Delawareans, could finally see the writing on the wall.
A personal thanks from me, to all who voted to flush the sewage from the system.

That parcel of land is right on a creek that flows into Wagamon’s pond, the lake outside of Milton, which flows right through the center of town on it’s way out the Broadkill River, past Broadkill Beach and out to sea through Lewes.
So any seepage into the groundwater there, any “accidental” chemical release, or any stormwater runoff is going right through Milton, the wildlife protection area on Broadkill Beach, and will eventually be released on Lewes’ shoreline… right by Pilottown road north of town.
Seems to me like it would be a very very bad place, environmentally, to put a H1 Heavy Industrial zone. I would be more comfortable with a site farther away from an easy access point to the entire watershed.

I’m hearing grumblings that it may be in, or right next to, Milton’s growth zone. Which means that homes may be all around there someday.

It has to be.. there is a (relatively) new development just north of there, which is currently undersold. it is within a half of a mile from the proposed site.
Gonna be hard to sell homes there if there is H1 nearby, and Milton developers have had a hard enough time selling in that area.
