District 2

Current council member Honiss Cane

In a class by himself - a class I hope no future Pocomoke council member would aspire to reach.

It is perhaps best if I relay incidents I have observed and been told over the last 17+ years.

You will recall that the former Pocomoke police chef was found guilty for obstruction of justice in office. A Pocomoke police officer fixed tickets for Mr. Cane's son. Mr. Cane said he did not ask for the tickets to be fixed. I worked in Pocomoke city hall during the time of this trial and I know differently. In essence the former police chief "took the fall." I heard much discussion of this during that time in the city manager's office. Mr. Cane should have insisted that the tickets be paid. As a council member he should have known better than to allow the tickets to be fixed on his son's behalf.

Mr. Cane purchased a home in another district yet maintained that he still lived in District 2. Yet his neighbors say he in fact lives in this new home. Perhaps his not running again is his acknowledgement of this.

Further, when called on this during a council meeting, he verbally attacked the citizen doing so and berated her for having unpaid medical bills. Unbelievable!!
Especially so if you consider that he was always at least 2 years behind in paying the taxes on his Pocomoke properties during the time I was in city hall. He was drawing a city salary! He apparently felt entitled to be delinquent. The same was true for the city manager and another council member. All of them should have known better.
