SBYNews Exclusive: John Cannon Will Serve As Wicomico County Council President Again For 4th Straight Year

For the past three years John Cannon has served as Council President, even though the County Council for decades agreed to switch the presidents seat on an annual basis between the various council members.

The Good Ol' Boys continue to ramrod their choice of who should lead the way and one thing is for sure, there are other Council Members who would like to hold that position.

So when we at Salisbury News look at how things have been done over the past three years, do you realize that there's only been twenty-four actual meetings held this year. In the past, Council Presidents would arrange one to two work sessions each week; however, with Cannon, there have been no separate work sessions outside of regularly scheduled Council Meetings.

Clearly, Cannon doesn't want to WORK and is highly negligent in his duties. Instead, he wants to cram everything into those mere twenty-four meetings and, no matter what anyone says, the Council cannot conduct ALL of the County's business professionally in such a small window of time. Thus, something needs to change immediately.

So are they just meeting to say they had a meeting? If 24 meetings work then so be it. I haven't heard or seen any Council Members complaining. Sounds like the Corporate world, we would have meetings that accomplished absolutely nothing!

Where is this serving for 4 years as Council President coming from? I'd be happy to see them ALL go and let Executive Culver do his job with a select voter choices assisting him! As a county resident I'M SICK OF THIS BS!!!! The County should also TAKE BACK THE CITY...that's a friggin' JOKE!!

People get ready for the shitstorm headed your way with day &cannon and the spineless city/county councils in 2018. There's absolutely NO concern for the residents needs anymore

510 that's pretty much what we learned last night about San Francisco. Leadership doesn't give a hoot about citizens anymore. They're only all about their agenda and enforcing their dime store ideologies on the public, never doing anything necessary to keep people safe and prosperous in their districts. Michael Savage said the Trump Administration should federalize the National Guard and take over San Francisco. Maybe the same can be said for Salisbury/Wicomico. Maybe it's time for the feds to come in and clear our all the corruption in our government and business elite class here. At this point, I could care less if the whole Salisbury area just became another Flint. It's on it's way anyway, why not speed up the process and get it over with.

God, John, can't we have one day a week where your mug isn't gracing some article or another? Why the hell do you continue to push your BS on people and have your RINO policies continue to over reach into things that are simply not your concern? I swear, sometimes you act like the biggest waste of life out there. You've given me tons of reason why you are what you are!

It was were the city would dump the street sweepers, when they had them and they ran regularly especially collecting leaves, as a teenager I lived in that neighborhood. We had a tree fort in the woods and would watch them back up and dump trying to fill in the marsh there. There was an old road through there to the river across from the Artesian well on Riverside Dr. It ran parallel to the Cannons property and ended near the old ship wreck the Jennie D. Bell on the Wicomico.

There was a backhanded conspiracy to not elect John Hall as president last time, orchestrated by none other than Cannon himself.

Big mistake any of the following: John Cannon, Jake Day, Shanie Shields, April Jackson, Mike Dunn, Donoway etc. Like the old saying don't re-elect anyone one term is enough -2nd term more trouble, the bones start to rattle.

how in the he'll did this happen again? instead of those councils picking the leader, it should be voted on at the ballot box and it should be a 2 year term as head. The council members can stay for 4 but the leader be picked by the people every 2 years and this mess would slow down.There is only one person on that council that should stay and the rest need to be GONE! can you all guess who that one person is that should stay? The only one that shows up and actually gives a hoot about whats going on!

Why should John Cannon serve 4 years as the Council President. Surely there are 6 other members capable of handling that position. I believe in the past there have been rotating Presidents. John Cannon you are a damn snake and it's all about you.
