The Daily Times Goes After Frank White Again


Here we go again. The Daily Times has created an article attempting to bash Frank White once again, challenging charges on a Town Credit Card for legitimate expenses.
It's amazing what that newspaper can do to others, spewing innuendo and in the end they'll come back saying they never said he did anything wrong.
Jay Parker was terminated and someone had to step in to keep Town business in order. Frank White covered that position for FREE for the past 3 months and conducted business meetings ON HIS OWN TIME AND HIS OWN DIME.
Other than standard business expenses, NOTHING has been challenged other than the Daily Times throwing out information that would bring in the same kind of results ANY Mayor or Town Manager would produce.
Look, I'm all about nailing ANYONE for any wrong doing, I'm an expert at it. However, their hate, (the Daily Times) for Frank White becomes more and more clear every time they create these ridiculous articles. They went after Frank White and Davis Ruark for DUI's probably 50 times a piece. One of the reasons for such is because they wanted to throw their weight around and show Frank White and Davis Ruark what power they had the first time they got the chance and force these individuals to feed them information.
The bottom line is, Frank White received $1,500.00 a YEAR for being President of their Town Council. Do any of YOU have ANY clue how much time that takes? This man has given a huge chunk of his life to Princess Anne and is voted back into Office each and every time and then voted in as President. If that doesn't tell you a whole lot, well, I really don't know what to tell you.
There have been rumors going around for years about Frank White and his being Police Chief in Pocomoke. Provide the judgements against him and or stop the BS lies and rumors. This man wouldn't be in the position he's now in if he was a crook or a criminal. The Daily Times doesn't get the cooperation THEY want from Frank, so they go after him any chance they get.
Just because Joe Albero is a Friend of Frank White doesn't mean you have the right to smear these people. That goes for commenters here or anywhere else. Frank White simply replaced Jay Parker for the past 3 months and conducted business for the Town of Princess Anne. Mind you, on his own time. If it meant taking a Developer to lunch or dinner, that's how business is conducted and SHAME ON THE DAILY TIMES for creating one of the most unprofessional articles I have ever seen them do.
I challenge any one of you to meet Frank White face to face. I have known Frank for years and I stand behind Frank just as I would my own Brother. You won't hear me say that about many people, especially politicians. Frank White is not perfect, (like me) but he is a good, honorable man who cares more about Princess Anne than anyone else I have ever met. Princess Anne is very lucky to have such a man represent that Town, PERIOD!
Drop your subscription to the Daily Times today. They have an agenda to remove those people who don't agree with their BS Newspaper and this is just the beginning. You're NOT a Blog, Daily Times. People pay good hard earned money for professional news. I wouldn't wipe my A$$ with today's newspaper, it's too dirty.

Joe, I have to disagree with you--he charged a ton of meals on the town credit card. You cannot tell me these were all business meals.

Frank White is a kind, decent, caring person and throwing allegations around about him is down right terrible. If you were able to have the chance to meet him, you would understand that these allegations are false. I have cancelled my account with the Daily Times!

You gonna cancel your subscription if the weather page calls for thunderstorms when all you want is sunshine? Get real. Good or bad, stuff is gonna happen in the community. Leaders make bad decisions. Elected officals lie. Don't blame the newspaper for telling it like it is, especially when they have the documents to back it up.

I have known Frank White for years and think the world of him. He did, however, lose his job as Pocomoke Police chief when the FBI came in and took over the PCPD, and I know the Wor Co Deputy that came in and took him away.

That is not the only job he has lost in that manner.

He is a great guy, and extremely likeable, but seems to make bad decisions.

Unless I read that article in The Daily Times incorrectly, that article simply reported what another newspaper uncovered when they got documents after filing for them under the Freedom of Information Act. We already know you have a bias against The Times, so I don't expect any accurate accounting by you as far as they are concerned. And I suspect you and this character White are pals. Your diatribe says as much as you try hard to justify his actions before all the facts have come out.

Not that I care either way on the situation, but a friend of mine works at Outback in Salisbury. I showed her the article with his picture and she says he's in the bar alone all the time. Doesn't seem like business meals to me.

Frank is doing the same thing to the town of Princess Anne that he did in Pocomoke take and do what ever he wants on the poor taxpayer I would like to know how he making a living now that he is not mooching off of Bailey Jewelers. The salary of a town commissioner is not much not to live the lifestyle Frank pretends to live he is a phony and a joke anyone who lives in the town of Princess Anne should have him railroaded out of town limits before he does bankrupt the town. I will agree he is not much worse than than the other commissioners tell Frank to leave the town car he drives in the town parking lot and not drive it to Outback while he sits at the bar and gets drunk remember he got a DUI in Salisbury where was he coming from Outback Frank no women wants a pig like you you stink
