Speak Up: Levy Court commissioner off committees after Facebook comments

Posted

Kent County Levy Court Commissioner George “Jody” Sweeney has been removed from his assigned committees and liaison roles, after several of his Facebook comments were criticized by constituents.

  • Now, is he going to collect a pension? — Steve Sanders
  • He wasn’t fired from Levy Court. He is an elected official who has served Kent County with honor. It is too bad those who voted against him do not believe in freedom of speech. — Nonny Seven
  • His comments were unprofessional. Free speech is one thing; his comments were way out of line! — Veronica Rogers
  • Correct me if I am wrong: So, Jody Sweeney will still collect some type of salary but won’t actually do any meaningful work for his district? Hmm. Sounds like a good deal (sarcasm intended). — Joan Czeizinger-Sherrard
  • Kudos to his fellow commissioners for doing the right thing! — Kim Petters
  • Take his pension away, too. — Betsy Bruzdzinski
  • Ah, I get it. He can say what he wants as long as it’s what the Republicans want him to say. Gotcha. — Tracey Miller
