(Pocomoke Public Eye reader comment)
Anonymous said...I remember well the Phillip Ancell incident. Somewhere in the saga a public hearing was held in the auditorium of Pocomoke High School which I and a friend attended and sat in the second row.
Evidence was presented that showed Mr. Ancell had lined his pockets with kickbacks from the Neptune Water Meter Company and that Mr. Ancell was the one who decided to sign the contract with Neptune. I especially remember when Mr. Paul Cunningham, editor of the local newspaper "Worcester Democrat" asked to speak as a witness. Mr. Cunningham stated that he had always supported Mr. Ancell but since being made aware of new evidence he was severely disappointed in Mr. Ancell and stated he could not be fired soon enough.
