Matt Holloway – Can you say RINO?

It’s really not surprising that Norman Conway and Jim Mathias have no qualms about giving state “grants” to private groups like of the Willards Lions Club – after all, its members are potential voters and those two are Democrats. But it was a real shock that Matt Holloway, who claims to be a conservative Republican, told the audience at the candidate forum this week, held at the Chipman Center, that he would support funding for that organization by Wicomico County. Anything for a few votes even if it takes more public funds - that’s what Democrats do.

It’s too bad that he can’t switch his affiliation and run this time as a Democrat, along with a Laura Mitchell, for the two at-large seats on the County Council.

Let’s hope that in the primary the Republican voters choose John Cannon and Muir Boda for those seats. With John Hall unopposed, there will be at least one RINO on the Wicomico County Council after the general election this fall, and that’s one too many.
