County Executive Rick Pollitt Has Yet To File For Re Election

As of 4:30 PM Thursday, Rick Pollitt has yet to file for re-election. Some are wondering what the heck is going on. 

Well, when 100%, (7 out of 7) Council Members shoot you down for a pay increase, what's that tell you about how they feel about Rick Pollitt and the FUTURE of Wicomico County.

Heck, even Sheriff Lewis got 3 out of 7 votes for a pay increase. 

If you really look at it, Anthony Brown will probably win the race for Governor. I know, I hate the thought of it as well but unfortunately the Eastern Shore has very little say when it comes to that race.

My guess is that Rick Pollitt has secured a position with the Brown Team and will likely be moving to Annapolis. Rick's doing no real fundraising, his campaign website isn't active and quite frankly, well, he and Strausburg have made a mess out of the County since he was elected. 

Finally, his opponent, (so far) Bob Culver will beat the pants off Pollitt. Joe Ollinger almost beat Rick the last time and with all due respect, Joe ain't no Bob Culver. This race will be about JOBS and economic development and Rick Pollitt has failed miserably in that department. Don't expect him to file and run again.

If he moves on up it will not be good for us either - he's a follower, not a leader.

He's raped and pillaged this Co. all he can. He would bury himself in shame if he had any sense.

The politicians just jump from one office to another office in the State. It will be the same ole same crap being dish out by these people no matter where the go in the State. Everywhere Pollitt goes and his cronies just create financial havoc for the State of Md on the eastern shore. It is so said. So many good people are affected by their bas decision making. Greed is the rule rot of the problem.

I know Rick and his wife, nice people. But the over arching issue is that once you are a govt cronie, you always will be a govt cronie. You will always side with more govt - it keeps you employed. Simple stupid.

They didn't like him as the Town Manager in Fruitland and then they turned around and elected him as the County Executive. You people that voted for him are weird, misguided and uninformed.
