TONIGHT: Who Will Be The Next Wicomico County Council President?

It has always been a tradition for the Council President to only serve one term at a time, each year. While John Cannon committed to the same agreement, he has been Council President for two straight terms and wants to continue a third term. However, we've been told John Hall may just have the support he needs to become the next Council President and he should. It's time the Council put someone in there that won't stir the pot on just about any and every agenda item. John Hall can deliver a balance the County hasn't seen in years. Tonight's Council Meeting will decide who is your next President and Vice President.

That being said, something needs to be done about Matt Holloway rarely ever attending meetings any more. Not only that but Council Members are appointed to many different positions and committees. The mere fact that each candidate and ultimately Council Member knows they are to represent their district and what is required. Matt Holloway continues to distance himself from attending the majority of his responsibilities and is failing his district miserably. In fact, Matt wants to be Vice President this go around, yet he's rarely ever at a Council Meeting any more. 

The Council needs to put in place language that states if you miss 6 meetings in one year, the Council has the right to consider replacing that Council Member. You are either in it for the people or you're not.

John Hall is a straight shooter with a long, long history of community service and selfless involvement. He's a no-bulls&1t kind of guy who doesn't suffer fools, a good choice for the next president of council.

It certainly didn't both you when Campbell was on the City Council. Nothing ever got done.

Council needs to man-up. Hope they do the right thing - which they haven't been known for. Great post!

Matt has always had an over active ego and believes he can do what he wants to get what he wants. He never has been for others. Get the language in the by-laws and get rid of ones like him ASAP.

When Campbell was on city council, the mayors were Tilghman and Ireton, two of the worst mayors ever.

To Poster 2:27 - John Hall is one of the most lackadaisical politicians that I have ever witnessed. He argued for a raise - but when it came time to vote, he voted against it, only doing so to try and save face.

He often finds himself on the outside, pitting himself against many of the other County Council officials, even within his own registered party. He is often confused when he votes, not knowing exactly what he is voting for.

Nope, I have to staunchly disagree with your observation. I am 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

WTH.....Who the hell appointed you instructor. Sometimes mistakes are made, for instance the last two terms of the joker hold up in our White House.

Debbie Campbell was one of the best that ever sat on the city council.

Joe Holloway is the best the county has ever had.

These two individuals always had and have the interest of the tax payer in mind.

Only an illiterate moron who doesn't have anything intelligent will say "Who cares..." He probably can't name all 12 of them.

I've got a feeling John Cannon wrote this comment. Who else would be defending his position??
