County budget ax: 61 positions eliminated
$5 million cut from budget
By CHRIS KNAUSS Staff Writer
CENTREVILLE Queen Anne's County's Board of Commissioners pared $5 million from a projected $18 to $21 million FY 2012 budget deficit at a special meeting Tuesday, March 1.
The commissioners deliberated for an hour and a half in a closed executive session to discuss the first round of the county's departmental reorganization plan. The doors were open to the public at 7 p.m., a half hour later than scheduled. A packed room full of county employees and interested citizens then listened as the commissioners unanimously voted to adopt the $5 million in cuts.

Tip of the hat to them!!
Wow - that is some serious budget trimming.
I wish our County Executive would take heed to some of their medicine.
Maybe Ricky P. will soon begin to "perceice the message" -- see this post:

I feel for the 61 people who lost their jobs.
Most of the 61 were probably government employees who haven't done their job for years!
I don't feel sorry for those!
In this day and age, be thankful you have a job and do your best at you job or risk losing it.
There's a lot of people out there who want YOUR job!
