Wicomico County Council Rejects 4 Candidates

Today the Wicomico County Council failed to select someone to fill the position vacated by Mark Kilmer.  Wicomico Republican Central Committee select 4 people, Nicole Acle of Salisbury, Julie Brewington of Eden, Joseph Collins of Mardela Springs and Austin Whitehead of Salisbury.  All 4 candidates were rejected.

Does not the Charter require the Council select one of the nominees. It certainly seems the Central Committee did its job. What is going on with the County Council?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

As a more than qualified candidate I sat through the republican committees 15 min interview. It was like a gauntlet of very direct questions with no followup questions for clarification. What that committee needs is someone with some interviewing experience. There is no way for them to make an informed decision in that time frame.

To summarize my experience with the Republican committee, a waste of time at best , at worst it was highly insulting and amateurish.

15 minutes SMH.

They needed to have a multi phase interview process that would have included at least 3 different interviews of increasing complexity. Instead they opted for one 15 minute interview. WHAT A JAKE! Oh shoot, typo. WHAT A JOKE!

4:38. during an election yes, that person is elected. If a vacancy comes up in between elections, then No. a person is appointed until the next election year. Next year is an election year. That position will be up for vote and that person elected by the people of that district for the rest of that 4 year term. It will go again for the regular term election again in 2022 and whom ever wins will remain in that position for their 4 year term.

Right now the house is again not working on tax relief, prescription drug relief, immigration, support of our troops, the deficit, jobs, college debt, they are debating whether Trump is mean. How long do we we we let our Congress go on like this???

Glad they did not pick Whitehead, he is living on his dads name and never responds. Great decision not him

So which members voted for which nominees? Dying to know!

Maybe if Whitehead lived in the district, not with his girlfriend it would be different. I don't care what his legal address is. It's where he actually lives that matters.

I didn't see them vote on Julie or Nicole. SO he guys were tied and they have to go back to central committee? Why not vote on the women? They could use a woman on that council. Good ole boys for sure. Collins got joke and laughs and whitehead contributed to probably all their campaigns so come on.

Really? Julie Brewington? The Central Committee just lost all credibility. Didn't they see her You Tube feature?

Joe, the County is screwing with employees again and trashing their investments for their deferred pay plans, someone needs to look into this, lots of upset employees with the folks at Human Resources

Austin Whitehead shouldn't have lied about his address since he clearly lives with his fiance on Middleneck Drive. In case you were wondering, Middleneck Drive isn't District 2.

If the 3 Democrats wanted Austin Whitehead and no one else that is enough for me to be glad that Mr. Whitehead didn't get the nod.

Austin Whitehead is the guy that was expelled from High School for bringing his Daddy’s cop gun to school. He’s also the guy lying about where he lives. (It isn’t District 2)

Anonymous said...

Poor Austin lives with his fiance in another district and thought he could lie to everyone and get a free ride with the council appointment because his daddy lives in District 2. He and his fiance does NOT live in District 2 by no means. If he would lie during this process what do you think he would do to the citizens who live and vote in District 2?

That is not his "legal" address. Maryland law says you have to change your address within 30 days. He is living with his fiance on Middleneck Drive and has been for many, many months. He daddy is a retired Maryland State Trooper and should have advised him of that.

Did anyone else watch the meeting on PAC 14? That McCain guy is a jerk. It’s obvious he controls the other 2 Democrats and he tries to bully the Republicans. That’s where your problem is! Who the Hell voted for him?

What the Hell do the Democrats have against Joe Collins? He is the most qualified and has been sitting on the Board of Elections for quite a few years now. Not to mention that he does live in District 2.

Ironically John Cannon got Bill McCain to run at-large and now Bill McCain is trying to dethrone him so that he can be the next President of the county council. That's why Bill McCain wants liberal Whitehead so he can get 4 votes. This was already worked out between the three Democrats and Whitehead.

Yes, they were adamantly against Tonya Lewis on the Board of Education. They wanted the "old white man" instead. Funny Liberals use that "old white man" tactic unless it's another liberal like Gains Hawkins or Bernie Sanders.

Austin is a Democrat plant in the Republican Party for a Conservative seat. Yes, the Liberals are playing games again.

If Whitehead is a registered Republican then he is certainly in the wrong party because he has too many Democrat friends. He better watch his back because Democrats don’t like Republicans.

Anonymous said...

I’m glad I didn’t vote for Bill McCain. All he is interested in doing is “fully funding” the Board of Education so his wife can get a promotion.

Anonymous said...

I saw the meeting and Joe Collins was the best choice for this appointment but the Democrats didn't want him. Apparently they all 3 fought for Austin Whitehead. That says enough for me to know that Whitehead was the worst candidate if the Democrats wanted him and him only.

Anonymous said...

Austin Whitehead is 25 years old and claims he still lives home with mommy and daddy but lets his fiance live by herself in another home that he renovated almost a year ago. Does anyone really believe that he is living with mommy and daddy letting his fiance live all by herself in another house?

Anonymous said...

i still lived at home when i was 25. Many now days do because they cant afford the rent unless they get several room mates and in the city thats not permitted because of the laws put in place by the city.

Julie Brewington does not live in the district either by your standards above. If you don't go by "legal address". Are you really living in that shack Julie? Or did you just use that address to make it look like you live in that district? Stop being disgruntled Julie because you were not chosen! Why did the Central Committee put your name in anyway? Hasnt everybody seen you in your live action videos? You need to just go away!

Anonymous said...

4:44 If you wanted more time with the Central Committee then maybe you should have stopped complaining and contacted them. Every one of their phone numbers are accessible, if you know where to look. If your were as smart as you are appearing to try to be then you would have known where to look. So maybe, just maybe thats why you were not selected? Not the brightest bulb in the box?

I have to wonder about Julie's address also. Her address is still showing as the same as her husband on the divorce documents. If she changed her address wouldn't she be required to notify the courts since is still an active case?

10:14 you make a great point about the change of address for her divorce.. doesn’t she want to get her notifications from the courts.... Is she on probation for her drunk driving? Does anybody know?

Buzz at the Tawes party is that Culver wants Whitehead on the county council to support turning the Poplar Hill place into a drug addiction treatment center and is still working with Hogan who was there to do that. Folks in that area better watch out because Mark Killmer is no longer there to stop that from happening.

The county council and the Board of Elections need to make sure anyone nominated to this seat does indeed live in District 2 are there will be big legal ramifications.

Didn't John Cannon and Bill McCain both get a campaign donation $2,000 each donation from the Coastal Association of Realtors and Austin Whitehead is the President?

Someone needs to find out what the connection between John Cannon, Bill McCain and Austin Whitehead and the Coastal Association of Realtors is.

Don't forget that Austin is close friends with Sarah and Josh.

Julie Brewington should be disqualified for running for anything she needs serious rehab but then she'll just relapse like always.

Anonymous said...

Someone should really take a close look at this Austin Whitehead scam. If you watch the county council meeting held on July 2, on youtube, he said twice that he was a has lived in District 2 all his life when he has lived outside that district for months on Middle Neck Drive.

If he can’t be straight about that, how can we trust him on the council? Who wants someone who lives in another District to represent them?

And now 4 members on the council want to appoint him knowing where he is living. As someone said, Wicomico County is becoming a real banana republic. John Cannon what are you thinking?

The County Council should ask for verification of where you are living. Prove where you live? We all want to know.
