I just spoke to the current City Clerk of Dover, Traci McDowell. She confirmed the report from one of our readers that Andria Bennett has indeed been hired for that job. McDowell will stay on in the position until Bennett is ‘settled in’.
Although the title is ‘City Clerk’, it’s more like the top administrative official for the city. We’re talking in the $100K range. Andria Bennett. That Andria Bennett. Yet another domestic abuser being handed a sinecure on a silver platter. Andria, Darius. Darius, Andria.
Our intrepid reader who sent us the tip reports that she plans to finish out her term while getting paid for her new job, but will then be gone from the General Assembly.
This is great news for progressives. Assuming Bennett’s successor is someone vetted by Kerri Evelyn Harris and the committee, not only will we have a more progressive rep in this overwhelmingly-D district, we will have another vote against the Kop Kabal that Andria Bennett supported.
Woo-hoo!!! This is big, folks.
