WILL ERICK SAHLER BECOME RICK POLLIT’S CHIEF OF STAFF?
Wicomico County residents should be concerned about the notion – and it’s more than a rumor if not yet an open secret – that Mr. Pollitt plans to appoint Erick Sahler, (formerly-?) of the Daily Times, as his "chief of staff" to exercise the County Executive’s administrative duties if the County Council allows that position to come into being as Pollitt has requested. Altogether, Mr. Sahler’s qualifications (training and experience) for that position total zilch, but we understand that he is a long time personal pal and political supporter of Rick Pollitt.
He would not be the first denizen of the Daily Times to feed from the County’s trough, joining both the current "public information officer," Mr. Fineran, and a prior one, George Roach, whose actions are a matter of local legend, in that respect.
Stay tuned for more on this topic as the world turns.

He won't be the first pal or supporter that Pollitt has put on the County payroll -- there are already Fineran and others
ReplyDeleteWhy does Rick Pollitt need someone to do what we elected -- and pay -- him to do?
ReplyDelete"Altogether, Mr. Sahler’s qualifications (training and experience) for that position total zilch, but we understand that he is a long time personal pal and political supporter of Rick Pollitt." Unfortunately, this is the pre-requisite for many people who are in appointed postitions and not unique to Rick Pollitt. Too bad that qualifications don't mean very much.
ReplyDeleteAnd his wife feeds from the Bd of Ed trough.
ReplyDeleteNuff said -- impeach Pollitt now!
ReplyDeleteThe Daily Times is a snakebed of buffoons, like Greg Bassett, but now it's now too strapped to keep paying the likes of Erick Sahler, so he wants his pal Pollit to give him a patronage position paid by the taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteI say: NO WAY!
Anyone who knows what Sahler did and wrote at the Daily Times would say he should not be given any authority in government even if he had the best credentials.
ReplyDeleteWicomico County's government has dethroned Salisbury as the laughingstock of the Eastern Shore
ReplyDeleteIs Bassett's sacred Green Hill yacht and country club still on the easy payment plan with the county for tax payments?
ReplyDeleteSahler dosen't need a job his wife got a $20.000.00 year raise two years ago at the BOE.
ReplyDeleteDT has been kissing Ireton's butt too after trying to burying him before...
ReplyDelete'course now they should be taking him to task but are sucking up

ReplyDeleteExactly.. I agree another disfunctional silver spoon feed leftist. Never worked a hard day in his life, had everything handed to him, no sense of the value of a dollar. His cartoons and view on the troops alone should not qualify him.. i say we get another ref on the ballot to disolve the county exec position it was a mistake and appears to be another hungry government boondoggle. He sucked as a commie editor of the daily slime and certinly does not deserve to serve our fine county..ur losing this indy vote
