During a vote to restructure the County Council, Gail Bartkovich is now the Council President and Sheree Sample-Hughes is now the Council Vice President.
The city council could take a lesson from the county and follow suit.

What? Really? What does this hope to accomplish? Do you have a source for us Joe?
I think Mrs. Bartkovich made it very clear. She made a committment to her colleagues as well as the people that she will keep everyone on the council informed about all county business. Ms. Sample-Hughes and Ms. Bartkovich will work very well together because they respect each other.
Don't mess with the cap....
This is good news! Cannon fooled a lot of people during his campaign and most of us have realized that he wasn't the one we should have supported, but it was too late. Now he will know what it feels like to be a regular council person instead of a one man show. Congratulations Mrs. Bartkovich and Mrs. Sample-Hughes. I know you will do a great job with the leadership of the County Council.
There are only 2 people on the city council, Debbie and Terry , the other 3 are idiots and don't know their a$$ from a hole in the ground.
Its true and I would like to ask John Cannon and Bill McCain how that humble pie tastes right now. Watch out for Sheree, she knows how to cut a deal and play politics.
Inquiring minds would like to know what the vote was.
Miss Louise won't let them.
The city council sure does need to restructure.
Louise Smith is a disaster as president. Comegys is just another blow hard veep. Almost hit my TV last night listening to his hot air.
This looks like a shift to a more partisan council to me.Not sure that's a good thing.We'll see.
Stevie, couldn't. She doesn't take a stand on the hard issues.
County website is already changed...
dangit, I always have to work when they have these meetings.
Gail will do a better job!
That's a bit unusual. Another apparent example of lost sheep headed to slaughter. All show, no substance.
12:47...they can't "mess with the cap".It can only be overturned by referendum.
Holloway, Prettyman, Sample Hughes and Bartkovich voted for Bartkovich and Sample Hughes. It was 4 members voting for the change. Great news. It has needed to be done for 2 years.
I can't think that Cannon nor McCain liked the flavor of humble pie.
Thanks Mrs. Sample-Hughes for doing what you know was the right thing to do rather than standing firm by party.
What prompted this? Where's the press release? WTH?
3:49...I think the county charter calls for annual election of officers.
"I think the county charter calls for annual election of officers."
That would make sense. Was it on the adgenda? I haven't checked.
I think John is setting up a run for county exec. It has been talked about for the last 6 months. This will make his leaving the council less disruptive.
Yes, it was on the agenda today. I just checked.
Now the council needs to move forward with the business at hand.
I believe that will happen, or at least I hope they do.
Cannon and McCain must have egos to want to hold their seats. They will be lucky to get reelected next year if they run.
If Cannon thinks he's going to be a Pollict lite, he's got another thing coming.
God help Wicomico County. Two house wifes now in charge of Wicomico County Council.
I don't know about Cannon's ego but I have been awfully disappointed in McCain. Never knew him before he ran and heard good things about him so I voted for him. He is as arrogant as they come. Even the people who spoke so kindly of him have unkind things to say now.
OMG. Barkovich is like a deer caught in the headlights. Why haven't they hired an internal auditor? It's in the charter but by firing the other one they have made sure that no one wants to work for them.
Gail's hubby, Dr. DooLittle will have to lighten his operating schedule so he continues to be available to tell her what to say and do.

You must be a product of Wicomico County Schools. Your grammar is atrocious.
It is "Housewives."
And Gail will do an excellent job.
Gail will absolutely do an excellent job. Sheree will also.
See ya later Rick, It hasn't been great.
4:07 - BINGO
get rid of rick ted and matt
And Ed Baker
5:22...that auditor is, I beleive, under the jurisdiction of the Executive and not the council.
8:30...the council has no jurisdiction over Rick or Ted's tenure.
9:30.. Nor Ed Baker's .
Justin Case :Cannon and McCain were elected by the people as councilmen...why would they not continue to serve as such ? To leave now would be a petulant and immature reaction to what occured.
To all of you knocking Gail,she is a very diligent council person and I think she will do what she believes is right for this county and it's citizens. Give her a chance before you start kncoking her.Same for Sheree.
Ms. Barkovich do the right thing and settle the F.O.P. law suit before it goes to trail in January. Save the citizens and the county a great deal of money. This matter should have be resolved months ago. None of us can afford a lengthy court battle. There has to be some type of resolution that can be made. Be the one that does the right thing. I know full well that you have been around long enough to know it was no attempt by the deputies to gouge the county and its citizens.
These men and women simply want a comprehensive disabilty package and some security in their position.
Good luck and God Bless.
