Local Media Pulling The Same Fake News BS As CNN

I knew several months ago that County Council President John Cannon wanted to hire a forensic auditor and I immediately questioned why. It had NOTHING to do with MONEY, so why hire this auditor that cost the taxpayers, (are you sitting) $50,000.00!

Now that time has passed and the auditor has claimed to find fraudulent activity, I'd suspect when all is said and done that this is much to do with nothing, you'll see. 

Look, I was in business for a lot of years. I've been through auditors and have dealt with numerous attorneys and I can tell you right out of the gate, IF there was ANY validity to this crap, NO ONE would be speaking out so quickly.

Council President John Cannon called every media source out there last night, (with exception to SBYNews) and strongly suggested they go to the on line briefing book to see what's going on. 

Ladies & Gentlemen, this is a "Witch Hunt' just like the Liberal Media is doing to President Donald Trump. DO NOT fall for this fabricated information, seriously. 

Anyone with wisdom and experience won't take the shark bait. They will sit back and wait for the final judgment on this matter. Shame on ALL of the media for jumping the gun and falling for this crap. 

John Cannon's goal is to defame Executive Culver and has political interest in the near future, hence pushing to spend $50,000.00 to do his dirty work at taxpayer expense.

Why don't the other Council members replace Cannon as President? I don't get why they are so afraid of him.

Where is the Investigation into the fat bastard Rick Pollitt and his spending waste ?

Most know that John Cannon is POS. But the other choice was Laura which was just as bad. If anyone with any integrity had run he would have never won. Replace him now. He is a detriment to this county.

Most people can't figure out budgets like these. That's why there are accountants and people with training and experience. Media reporters aren't in that group, so what they say about what they read (if they even read it, which is doubtful) is surely going to be something vague and leading, like "Council President Points To Budget Wrongdoing", or "Cannon Warns Of Spending Irregularities". It's all baloney.
Joe's right, wait for the auditor's report.

I read the whole letter, and having no signatures, there's nothing there to talk about. The dates are as valid as the signatures as well, as in NOT valid. Anyone could have written that letter at any time and stuffed it in a file that many had access to. So, it's a big Nothing Burger, and to question how many other letters like this exist is still a Nothing Burger! Maybe it was Vladimir Putin who wrote it?

John Cannon wants your vote, and that's the bottom line on this pile of crap he's wasting your County tax money on. He needs to be run out on a rail ASAP!

Agree with 730. Why doesn't the county hold John Cannon responsible for wasting taxpayer on this garbage? Shouldn't the council be solely responsible for this stupidity? This is what happens when people go off the rails and start BS. Nothing more. The County Council members should each have to cover this forensic audit out of their own pockets. They can write it off as campaign expenses because it's nothing more than a smear job. A bad smear job at that because this is a huge nothing burger waste of everyone's damn time and money.

Cannon is a joke. Why did you idiots re-elect this moron to the council after he was forced out before and whose bright idea was it to make him president? Cannon needs to go away. Go back to his beloved overlordship of the slums and leave the county alone.

$50,000 could do a lot more for the community than this political witch hunt. Damn, Cannon, haven't you learned anything from Trump and those who've used this kind of BS to discredit him? You'll learn. If you want votes start playing nice on the playground and do the work that makes residents' lives better instead of lining your own greed. What an idiot.

What I find astounding is how many comments suggest there's truth to the base story which led to this audit in the first place. You people are always so quick to jump shark with only half at best story. Let the audit do what it does and see what occurs. Until then, just STF up about it and move on with your life. If you don't have one, suggest you go get one.

Would think you morons would be more cheesed about the $50K Cannon wasted running after unicorns than getting yourselves embroiled in all this political nonsense. Christ, doesn't anyone have a life in Salisbury or what?

This elected executive type of govt in this county is a joke and so is 50k for finding a letter in a file. WTF! Salisbury and Wicomico county continue to make more problems for themselves rather than addressing the real problems which plague the county and city. This place will soon be like the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago. Totally broke and in shambles.

Wasn't the Council obligated to call in a 2nd auditor when the 1st auditor said there was a "red flag" item found in a file and recommended further investigation? In the interest of proving the letter was legit what other course of action did the Council have? I find it strange every comment is blaming the Council. County regs require audits. If the audit flags possible suspicious items whose responsibility is it to prove it is just sloppy paper work vs fraud?

726 Leslie Lewis was fired so more than likely being that keeping the books was her base essential job it was sloppy paperwork and mishandling. People don't get fired for doing their jobs, they get fired when they don't.

The bright idea to make Cannon president was Cannon's. He hoodwinked a few of the council members with some midnight phone calls on the day of the election. I'd call him a snake, but snakes aren't slimy.

7:26 true in most cases, but if you go against the political tide they can terminate you based on no set rules, called at will employees. Welcome to Maryland.
