SALISBURY – Officials in Wicomico County last week selected Tonya Laird Lewis to fill a vacant position on the Wicomico County Board of Education, but not before a lengthy discussion on the nomination process.
On June 4, the Wicomico County Council voted for a second time to fill a vacant position on the Wicomico County Board of Education.
At a May meeting, a resolution to appoint a nominee to the board did not pass after a tie vote between candidates Tonya Laird Lewis and Gains Hawkins Jr. The tie breaker, Council President John Cannon, abstained because of a working relationship between his wife and Hawkins’ daughter.
Back on the agenda this week, the council had before it two resolutions, one to appoint Hawkins and another to appoint Lewis. However, a resolution to appoint Hawkins failed as it received no motion.

Wicomico County - making the law up as they go along.
ReplyDeleteInstead of consulting an educated legal person, these jokers decide to self interpret the law to suit their agenda.
If I were either of these candidates, I would pull my name out of the process
Funny. John never abstains from voting if his rental properties are involved. He’s all for voting himself some nice tax cuts. What gives, Johnny?
ReplyDeletesave the money eliminate the position..SCHOOL VOUCHERS AND ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD..GET IT ON THE BALLOT NOW!!!
ReplyDeleteSo says the uneducated.
DeleteIs there anything John Cannon doesn't have his tentacles in?
ReplyDeleteHow did BMc vote the first time? He voted Gains. He threw a tantrum because he knew Gains failed to get the votes the 2nd time.
ReplyDeleteI live on the East side and do not know either of them personally, but I have heard TL name a lot and Gains? Never ever heard of him.
Gains Hawkins?? You're looking for nothing but racist, progressive, socialist BS if you let that guy get involved in your local school/political process. I'm sure he's a supporter of the racist clowns at Loyola college and now university of Georgia. Yes he thinks that whites must pay in some form of reperations
ReplyDeleteGains Hawkins was/is behind the garbage DAY and the newfound local idiots O'Hare's were pushing tovremovevtge Confederate memorial downtown. The guy is definitely out of the same mold as the racist Whitehead at Loyola college and the newest idiot frimpong at Georgia. There's no room for people like this in any political platform especially the board of education
