Gains Hawkins just can't "get over it"

Mr. Hawkins, a member (along with Laura Mitchell) of the Wicomico County Democratic Central Committee, was Treasurer of Rick Pollitt's campaign committee – the "Friends of Rick." Since the election, he has published periodic epistles in, would you believe, the Daily Times trashing Bob Culver by putting him in a false light. Now that it has become clear, beyond any valid doubt, that the voters chose wisely in electing him and defeating Pollitt, Hawkins has become increasingly asinine in his attack.

In a recent piece, he portrays an imaginary “Culliverland,” in which a malicious "emperor" is posited as the perpetrator of evil and unethical actions. Replete with sophomoric plagiarism ("Once upon a time, a short, short time ago"), the piece suggests the arrival of a "New Day" – bet you can’t figure that one out – that makes it all better, maybe.

Hawkins continues to boil in his witches’ brew of venom and vituperation over the rejection of his pal Pollitt and other local Democrats – Conway, Brown, Mitchell, Hastings -- by Wicomico County voters. He must be blind to the fact that Salisbury has experienced the very same "New Day" with nothing to show. And he is certainly blind to (or unwilling to acknowledge) the remarkable and much needed change for the better in Wicomico County government during Bob Culver's first year as the County Executive.

Surely, as Wicomico County (with the exception of Salisbury) continues to improve and recover from years of Democrat rule, Hawkins will continue to publish his BS in a forum that thrives by selling such drivel to the low information voters.
