SALISBURY – Wicomico’s legislative body agreed this week to rehire Paul Wilber to serve as county attorney, more than a year after his termination.
On Tuesday, the Wicomico County Council voted unanimously to confirm Wilber’s appointment as county attorney and to engage the law firm of Webb, Cornbrooks, Wilber, Vorhis, Douse & Mathers, LLP to serve as the county’s department of law.
This week’s vote – made with no discussion by members of the council – comes more than a year after the legislative body agreed to remove Wilber from the county attorney post.
In May 2019, the council voted 6-1 with Councilman Bill McCain opposed to fire Wilber – who had served in the office of county attorney since 2015 – effective July 31.
Why get rid of him and then hire him back this does not invoke confidence in the council or the city. Would it not have been better to have run interviews and hired the best to represent the city?
11:12 He represents the COUNTY; not the CITY!
An indication that the old guard and Greater Salisbury are still pulling strings for their buddies. Wilbur was the city attorney when many deals were made to screw city residents and he worked Har to conceal information from council member Campbell as she endeavored FYI stand up for ordinary people.
