I've Been Your Delegate Since The 1970's


Last night TWO things really caught my attention. One, Norm Conway stated he is all about the community and represents the people. 

Carl Anderton came back and said, REALLY NORM, seriously? You see, I've been on the Town Council and the Mayor of Delmar for the past NINE years and one thing I can tell you for a fact, you have NEVER ONCE set foot on the Council Floor in Delmar so I highly doubt you represent the people.

At one point Carl expressed and receipted his cell phone number giving everyone the opportunity as your state delegate to make contact with him, any time, day or night. This seemed to really bother Norm as he came back later on in the forum and said, by the way, you can have my cell phone number too. Carl immediately followed up by turning around to face Norm and look him in the eyes while saying, really Norm? Because IF I had your PHONE NUMBER I probably wouldn't be up here CHALLENGING you today. 

Getting back to the title, Norm Conway has been your Delegate since the early 1970's. Guess what's CHANGED since then! That's right, just like newspapers, it's time for new blood. 

By the way, in closing, I personally showed Greg Bassett Salisbury News Hits last night. His jaw just about hit the ground. He was extremely kind and congratulatory. He was impressed. 

CORRECTION: Norm has been an elected official since the 1970's and a Delegate since the 1980's.

Norm must go.

Norm should be home enjoying his retirement but he can't stand being a nobody. But it's ok, Norm. Lewis, Lowell, Joe Long and others came home and had the full respect for their service from the community. You should do the same. Unfortunately, you have overstayed your welcome.

I caught a glimpse of Greg Bassett in one of your pictures. He looks great - better than ever - quite distinguished and handsome. Go Greg. You are shining in your new life! Good post Joe.

I agree it is time for Norm to retire. Though he used to receive endorsements from both parties, his style of politics isn't effecting on the Eastern Shore anymore.

2:44 - have any of the Republicans running in MD (other than Mr Hogan) indicated they would work to repeal any of Marty and Tony's taxes and fees?

Time for Marylanders to put Norm out to Pasture NOW! Hit the road Jack and don't come back no more.

Norm is what is called a "career politician". This is the very reason we need term limits.

Time to let the door hit you in the @$$ as you leave Norm. Thanks for your service, now vacate.

Does anyone know if Carl is related to the late Captain Anderton? He was a nice guy who ran some tug boats up and down the Wicimico River years ago.

The Daily Litter Box Liner has recently Laura Mitchell and Josh Hastings over the more qualified John Cannon and Larry Dodd. Wicomico County is circling the drain right now and this County will be in the sewer if those two get elect.

All Republicans, good Democrats and Independents need to get out and vote for John Cannon and Larry Dodd over those two liberal tree huggers. This County will never recover if the liberal majority take over the County Council.

Please get out and vote Republican

Vote Republican

Vote Republican! In Wicomico County you must Vote Republican!
