SbyNEWS has seldom been a cheerleader for the Daily Times. However, after yesterday’s article by Jenny Hopkinson regarding the “emergency suspension” of 38-B House candidate (and Deputy) Lt. Mike McDermott by Worcester County Sheriff Chuck Martin, we have to give the devil (or paper) his due. Hopkinson’s article was fair. As we noted in the attached post, we wish a few more questions were asked; but the overall piece was a good one.
We also wish to thank Daily Times opinion editor Susan Parker for her excellent op-ed this morning. While we wish that it were a little more forceful, that isn’t Susan’s style. Any complaint that this matter was soft pedaled in comparison to other issues Parker has addressed is unwarranted in the extreme.
This matter potentially does a grave disservice to the voters of Worcester County and the the 38-B portion of Wicomico. We are gratified that the Daily Times concurs with us that this issue deserves serious coverage and that this issue should be concluded in a fair and speedy manner.

Good work GA! While others offer NO original content and simply sit back each day critisizing our work, the DT's delivered a blow to Martin and Conway they'll not soon forget.
ReplyDeleteMike McDermott has served his community with a perfectly clean record for more than 20+ years. He's an honest Christian and in many cases to a fault. Nevertheless, this is the kind of man we should ALL stand behind.
The nay sayers, well, just look at their criminal records like Billy Burke, for instance.
Attacking Mike McDermott is not far from attacking Sheriff Mike Lewis, another Christian who has served the state of Maryland extremely well.
My hat is tipped to GA Harrison as well as the Daily Times.
In plain English Sheriff Martin needs to either (expletive) or get off the pot and clear this up. Enough of this hiding behind the old personal matter baloney.
ReplyDeleteAnother question to be asked is why did the sheriff wait almost a year to confront McDermott about the weapon???????
AGREE with 1:28. McDermott WILL get my vote.....
