Delaware Liberal

I wish that the statement above had the ability to shock, but for people who have been watching McDowell for a while it is not shocking. McDowell works for Delmarva Power. Ho hum. McDowell is working to establish a six-figure job for himself in the manner of Roger Roy.

No duh.

These are simple facts that are not hard to prove. Frankly, I wish it were more difficult to prove that Harris McDowell has repeatedly broken his oath of office. The fact that it is so easy to prove makes me think that a large number of people must already know what he is doing…and that they don’t mind.

Actually, one person did notice McDowell’s greedy machinations and that person did seem to mind. The story of that knowing and acting on the knowledge provides another layer to the sedimentary history of McDowell’s serial abuse of the public trust. In fact, it is a glittery and interesting layer of that dank history because Harris McDowell was rebuked for his greed and indiscretion in no uncertain terms.

It was a rebuke so stinging that a person with a conscience would have had to resign from public office in shame. (McDowell has no shame however, so the normal rules of decent behavior seem to be lost on him.)

So who was this person who saw through McDowell’s “green energy” champion act? You’ll never guess so I’ll tell you.

It was Ruth Ann Minner. Or at least the office of the Governor.
