The Worcester County Commissioners named Maureen Lanigan Howarth as the new County Attorney. Howarth graduated cum laude from James Madison University, with a Business Bachelor of Arts in Accounting in 2004. She graduated cum laude from the University of Baltimore School of Law with a law degree in 2007, after which she served as a law clerk for Wicomico County Circuit Court Judge Donald C. Davis.
Howarth will step into her new role with Worcester County Government (WCG) on November 9, 2015. She brings eight years of legal experience in county government to WCG. She served as an assistant county attorney for Wicomico County Government from 2008 to 2012 when she took over as deputy county attorney.
“I’m looking forward to joining the Worcester County team and serving as their county attorney,” Howarth said. “Working in the field of local government gives me an opportunity to provide legal counsel on a variety of issues and offers me the opportunity to give back to the community I call home.”
Howarth, an Ocean City resident, will take over for current County Attorney John E. “Sonny” Bloxom who will retire December 18, 2015. Bloxom began serving as the county attorney in 2008 and provides legal advice to the Worcester County Commissioners and the Worcester County Planning Commission in all legal matters.

John Cannon will have the support of the Slum Lords and the Coastal Association of Realtors and that national realtor group just like Boi Toy Jake Day got.
Can't blame her for going from bad to good in terms of the place and job. And it's where she lives.
ReplyDeleteCulver's lack of leadership has run more employees off than any other executive. He may not necessarily be the problem, it's more like Ennis, Strausburg and a few others who are yes directors. Bob clean house get rid of Ennis, Strasburg and one deputy directors actor corrections. It time to do the right thing.
ReplyDeletehope you know what you're getting into with her.
ReplyDeleteDam sad that every local govt has to have there own supreme court.
ReplyDeleteWicomico County never needed the executive form of govt.
You can not collect tax dollars to finance it from people who have nothing but wic vouchers and ebt cards.
