Calls for resignations premature

    I am completely outraged that elected officials are asking for the premature resignation of the county professionals with regard to the solar settlement. While I encourage and support the idea of asking the state comptroller to investigate the matter, until the results of that investigation are complete, no one should be asked to resign. Why stop with the county council? Why not ask for the heads of everyone involved?

    Never in all my years involved in politics and working in government have I seen such mean spirited and reckless behavior. You should all be embarrassed by this political witch hunt. You are nothing but opportunists looking for attention. One of you even posted your letter on Facebook. You were elected to check your ego at the door and work for the best interest of the people of Sussex County. I will not vote or support any elected official who is taking advantage of this serious situation for their own political advantage. I just checked with my sources in the other two counties involved, there is no such movement to request staff to resign. In fact, one person said, "We would never stoop that low."

    I agree with Ronald Reagan when he said, "It has been said that politics is the second oldest professiona. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first."

    In conclusion, I have no "confidence" in individuals who like to just stir the political pot whenever they have the opportunity rather than offer solutions. The solution is not to throw the county staff under the bus prior to the results of the investigation. this is just plain mean.
