Lo and Behold! The editorial board of Salisbury’s Daily Times has actually taken a firm stance on an issue. Usually straddling the fence with a skill usually seen only in Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt, the Daily Times has decided to endorse the idea of the Wicomico County Council holding at least 50% of its meetings in the evening.
The Daily Times has now joined Americans for Prosperity, the NAACP, Delmarva Dealings, and SbyNEWS in calling for the Wicomico County Council to allow more participation in our local government. We’ll have to see if our council members begin to get the hint.
Councilman Joe Holloway (R-5) has been the people’s champion on this issue since he was sworn in to office. Bill McCain, council’s chief advocate of the teachers’ union, has been the council’s most vocal opponent.
Take one minute and email Holloway and McCain to show your support for evening meetings.

GA,
Could you edit this post to add that the President of our Local NAACP chapter also wants the Council to adopt later times for meetings in the interest of greater civic involvement?
You should recall that she also stood with AFP and others to urge this change.
