IS DAVID COWALL THE STEALTH CANDIDATE FOR WICOMICO COUNTY COUNCIL?

It has been “street talk” for some weeks that Dr. Cowall is choice of the local Democrat elite to fill the “leading liberal” slot on the County Council that is being relinquished by William McCain. Recent events and disclosure clearly confirm that notion.

Thanks to required reporting of his financial supporters we now know that they include a virtual “who’s who” of the organization devoted to depriving landowners of development rights by simply confiscating them through “downzoning”, namely, the “Wicomico Environmental Trust.”
Its luminaries listed in Cowall’s disclosure include Barry Johannsson, John Groutt, Judith Stribling, King Burnett and Michael Pretl. McCain has spouted WET’s propaganda from his seat at the Council table.

Dr. Cowall appears to be a tax and spend liberal of the first order. In a recent interview he did everything but say that he supports repeal of the County’s property tax revenue cap. He did say that he believes it is a problem because, in his opinion, the County should be spending more money than it receives in tax revenue. Unless you are blind, you can see where his agenda leads, and it sure ain’t pretty.

The Cowall campaign is well financed by members of the medical community as well as avowed liberals such as Don (“more taxes, please”) Cathcart, Mike (“shut up, Debbie”) Dunn, Jim Fineran and Tony Sarbanes. If Dr. Cowall survives the primary, which seems likely given his opponents, the race for the at-large seats on the Council will be the “main event” for both the Council seats and the county-wide positions.
