Are the salaries of the Wicomico County Liquor Board available to the taxpaying public? This would be very interesting. Could you get this information and put it on your site, Joe?

While I may be mistaken, I don't believe that the members of the dispensary board actually get a salary. I believe that they are paid a per diem and maybe some expenses. I will try to find out.

They do get a salary which was upped from $3500 and $2750 to $6000 and $5000 respectively for the new members, not incumbent members, as Johnnie Miller reported. Here are the the links:

This one is a bit tougher to follow. Click Maryland Code then Article 2B Alcoholic Beverages then Title 15 Licensing Agencies then 15-201 and then scroll down to (h)6 for salaries in Wicomico.
