Fact is - he should have recused himself from voting and promulgation on issues that would ordinarily in the private sector be deemed a conflict of interest.
So you be the judge for yourself - and see what he has collected while serving for the Wicomico County Board of Education. Then ask yourself the question - what were his specific job duties while drawing a salary from the Board of Education. It is long overdue for the citizens to speak out!

This type of activity is what is killing our Country. He has been there way to long and has become the problem. I hope everyone sees this before the election. Joe, I hope you keep this post up.
This has been going on for years...nobody seems to give a rats ass
Please keep blasting these greedy fools, Pollitt, conway, Mitchell
Why, he was the 'skid greaser', of course. Making things happen.
That's worth $77,000, isn't it?
It's what you call eating 'High off the Hog'. I swear I wonder about the people living around here. Yet they keep putting him back in office. I am truly amazed at peoples attitudes. What are they thinking.
If seeing is believing - this photo is worth a million words. No wonder he lobbies so heavily for the educational establishment. Wouldn't you if you rolling in 78k at taxpayers expense. Plus, he has his Delegates salary to boot.
I don't understand why the DT, WBOC, or WMDT doesn't cover this type of activity. It seems as though all they are interested in reporting are printing coupons.
Absolutely he is guilty of double dipping. He's collecting 2 salaries out of the same pot, the pot being the State of MD.
He absolutely should not ever vote on anything to do in relations to salaries, perks, benefits having to do with the Board of Education.
The DT reports; 'In the name of good manners and intelligent discourse, let's focus on the positives and avoid the negatives'
My response, my wish is that the DT would simply report instead of just allowing it to be swept under the rug.
Good point 5:44, I agree.
Please keep blasting these greedy fools, Hastings, Pollitt and Mitchell.
He needs two jobs to support each of his chins.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't that his wife listed just above his name? She was a principal and if I remember correctly, wasn't a new job position created,"Principals Mentor" just after she retired? I believe she held that position also. It does seem to me that if a principle needed mentoring they could go to one of the two Assistant Superintendents. I'm sure they are capable. Anyone out there remember any of this? John Palmer.
This issue has to do with well established ethical standards. I have a problem with Conway drawing a salary from the BOE and then him crafting or voting on legislation effecting the very institution he is being paid by. Has anyone checked-in to possibly launching an investigation into this matter?
6:21 - you are just to funny.
I worked for the board then as a teacher. I always heard he was not paid a board salary while he was serving as a delegate.
6:29-I thought it stood for delirium tremors,but your idea is better.
7:01 Poster - It still represents a conflict of interest irregardless if he was not paid a board salary while serving as a Delegate. If you work for board then you know full well that you can elect to receive your paychecks spread out evenly throughout the year, or, during you time that you actually working. Bottom line - it is unethical by any set of standards. He ought to have been reprimanded and disciplined.
To 6:48 Poster - you are correct. That is Norman Conway's wife listed above - Jan Conway. As you can tell they have both been drawing from the public trough for as long as I can remember - with Norman dipping twice. The public should to be outraged.
Thank YOU Joe for this information I did not know....Conway has to go!!!!

You are correct. They have several of those "mentoring" jobs that they waste money on for retirees.
This represents a double standard. I was not aware about any of this. Thanks for the heads-up.
Wasn't Mr. Conway responsible for eliminating the elected school board. Why didn't he bow out from voting on this key piece of legislation if he was employed by the school board. It reminds me of having a fox in the hen house mentality. This guy has got to go.

If that is the case then he was paid $78,000 per year when actually his salary at the board of education would have been well over $100,000 per year way back then.
Somehow I am skeptical about this.

Further proof of the DT's political stance
that's MR CHAIRMAN to Liberal Jim
This is what you call a classic abuse of an office. In Websters terms, it is defined as a scoundrel. Joe, please keep this post up as long as you can because the people need to know this type of information.
We sure are getting a lot of flyers in the mail from Norm Conway. He's spending a lot on advertising.
All I have to say is this man must be worth a bundle because he has been there for as long as I can remember. And I am almost 60 yoa.
If I'm not mistaken - Bonnie Walston is Norman Conway's treasurer. And she is the same Bonnie Walston that has been abusing the BOE credit cards. I have seen her name on dozens of Joe's postings on the credit card purchases.
These people need to go!
Norman is an angry man and he hates Republicans.
You people that vote for him because you think he is a nice guy. You are idiots.
Yes Bonnie is Norman Conway and her job at the BOE Central Office allows her a lot of free time to work on Normans campaign. This is done under the supervision of BOE Superintendent John Fredericksen.
I do not understand why the Daily Times doesn't cover more like this. This should be a prime directive for any noteworthy newspaper. I have never read one IOTA about any of this in The Daily Times and that really puzzles me.
To 3:43 Poster - that said Bonnie Walston is Norman Conway's treasurer.
You are correct. I just visited Norman Conway's website and it says;
'Paid for by Friends of Norman H. Conway Authority: Bonita Walston, Treasurer.'
This is the same Bonnie Walston that works for the BOE and she has also been listed many many times as one of the frequent abusers of the BOE credit cards. Meal after meal has been charged to the taxpayers account.
I will say one thing about this site - one can learn a lot about what goes around here. A lot more so than any of the other MSM. This is some of the best investigative reporting that I have witnessed.
They don't call politicians like Conway Bureaucratic Fat Cats for nothing. He is the epitome of a Bureaucratic Fat Cat - literally.
